12.1 Introduction to Ideal solution
Miscible liquids Immiscible liquids Partially miscible liquid
- Formed when 2 solution
can dissolve completely
with each other and
formed a homogeneous
solution
- Example : ethanol and
water
- Formed 2 separate layers
of solution when 2
immiscible solutions are
added together.
- Example : Benzene and
water
- When 2 solutions are
mixed, only a little
amount of the solution
can mixed with each
other. There are still 2
visible layers observed
- Example : ether and
water
• An ideal solution formed when 2 solutions are mixed together,
▫ Intermolecular forces formed between A---A = B---B =A---B.
▫ There’s no change of volume on mixing
▫ No enthalpy change occur on mixing the solutions
• As a result, the partial pressure exerted by each individual solution of an ideal solution will be lesser than the pressure exerted by its pure liquid, as the volume of the mixing solution increased.
• Since it is a mixing solution, the vapour pressure exerted by each individual solution depends on the composition of A and B. The relationship between the vapour pressure and the composition of liquid mixture is given by Raoult’s Law which state that the partial pressure of A in a solution at a given temperature is equal to the vapour pressure of pure A multiplied with the mole fraction of A in the solution (or equation, PA = xA . P

• Example : Given the vapour pressure of hexane and heptane are 10 kPa and 3 kPa respectively. If the mole fraction of hexane in liquid mixture of hexane and heptane is 0.4, calculate the mole fraction of heptane in the vapour that is in equilibrium with liquid mixture
Solution : mol fraction of heptane in liquid mixture = 1 – 0.4 = 0.6
Phex = xhex • Phex = 0.4 (10 kPa) = 4.0 kPa
Phep = xhep • Phep = 0.6 (3 kPa) = 1.8 kPa
P = P + P = ( 4.0 + 1.8 ) kPa = 5.8 kPaPtotal = Phex + Phep = ( 4.0 + 1.8 ) kPa = 5.8 kPa
Mol fraction of heptane in vapour = PB / Ptot= 1.8 kPa / 5.8 kPa = 0.31
• Example : Mixing benzene with methylbenzene gives an ideal solution. If the vapour pressure of benzene and methylbenzene are 90 kPa and 78 kPa respectively. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour at a mixture composition of
a) mole fraction of benzene = 0.20
PB = xB . P0B PMB = xMB . P0

PB = 0.20 x 90 kPa PMB = 0.80 x 78 kPa
PB = 18 kPa PMB = 62.4 kPa
Ptot = 18 + 62.4 = 80.4 kPa
In vapour
b) mole fraction of methylbenzene = 0.35
PB = xB . P0B PMB = xMB . P0

PB = 0.65 x 90 kPa PMB = 0.35 x 78 kPa
PB = 58.5 kPa PMB = 27.3 kPa
Ptot = 58.5 + 27.3 = 85.8 kPa

Mol fraction, xB = PB / Ptot
xB = 18 / 80.4
= 0.224
In vapour
Mol fraction, xB = PB / Ptot
xB = 58.5 / 85.8
= 0.682
• For an ideal solution, the boiling point – composition graph is the inverse of vapour pressure – composition graph
▫ If solution A is more volatile than solution B, the vapour pressure of A is ……………….. than in B.
▫ In the vapour pressure – composition graph, the straight line Ptot also represent the composition of the liquid phase, whereas the curve represent the composition of the vapour phase

12.2 Fractional Distillation
• The most efficient method for separating an ideal solution is by using fractional distillation. The typical apparatus for carry out fractional distillation is shown in figure below
i. The distillation column is a long
tube filled with glass beads or short
pieces of glass tubing. The
distillation column provides a large
surface area where condensed liquid
and ascending vapour can have
maximum contact.maximum contact.
ii. The length of the distillation
column is largely determined by the
difference in boiling point of the
components to be separated, the
smaller the difference ; the longer
the distillation column needed to
achieve good separation.
12.3 Non – ideal solution
• In a non-ideal solution :
▫ The intermolecular forces of attraction between A---B could be stronger or weaker than A---A and B---B
▫ Thus, the partial vapour pressures and the total pressure measured can be lower or higher than expected.
▫ When this occur, we said that the mixture solution formed deviates from Ideal Solution.
• In the deviation from ideal solution, it can be categorise into 2 • In the deviation from ideal solution, it can be categorise into 2 type of deviations
• a) Positive deviation b) Negative deviation
Negative deviation Positive deviation

HCl – H2O ; HNO3 – H2O ; H2SO4 –
HCOOH ; phenol – aniline ; acetone
(CH3COCH3) – CHCl3
Propanol – H2O ; ethanol – H2O ;
ethanol – toluene ; ethanol and

when
Intermolecular forces between A---B
molecules are stronger than in
between A---A and B---B
Intermolecular forces between A---B

Partial

mixture
Since the intermolecular forces are
stronger in A---B ; the partial vapour
pressure are lower than expected in
Raoult’s Law
Since the intermolecular forces are
weaker in A---B ; the partial vapour
pressure are higher than expected in
Raoult’s Law
Heat
changes
Since the intermolecular forces are
stronger, meaning that A --- B are
more stable than their individual
forces, thus the process is exothermic
Since the intermolecular forces are
weaker, meaning that A --- B are less
stable than their individual force thus
the process is endothermic
Negative deviation Positive deviation
Reason
HCl and H2O
The forces hold between HCl – HCl
are pure Van DerWaals forces
whereas the forces between H2O –
H2O are pure hydrogen bonding
However, when HCl and H2O are
mixed together, it will ionised to form
HCl + H O � H- O+ + Cl-
Ethanol, C2H5OH and H2O
The intermolecular forces between
ethanol – ethanol are hydrogen
bonding and same goes to between
water – water.
However, when this 2 solutions are
mixed, the hydrogen between water HCl + H2O � H-3O+ + Cl-
The ionic interactions between
hydrated ions are stronger than both
Van Der Waals forces and hydrogen
bond.
mixed, the hydrogen between water
are broken by ethanol and reduce the
intermolecular forces formed between
ethanol – water.

Since mixing the solution causes a
stronger attraction forces formed
between A---B ; so when 50 cm3 A +
50 cm3 B < 100 cm3.
Since mixing the solution causes a

between A---B ; so when 50 cm3 A +

12.4 Fractional distillation under reduced pressure
• Distillation under reduced pressure is usually used to distil out substances that have high boiling point.
• A substance will only boiled when its vapour pressure reaches the external pressure
• Some organic solution decomposed at temperature below its boiling point at atmospheric pressure. It is thereforeundesirable to distil such liquid at normal boiling point.
• In such case, there’s a necessity to distil at reduced pressure• In such case, there’s a necessity to distil at reduced pressure
• To do this a vacuum pump is connected to side arm to reduce the pressure.
• So, if the external pressure is reduced, the boiling point is also reduced (less heat is required), there’s no need to distillate at its normal boiling point and therefore, may prevent the decomposition of the organic substance
• The disadvantage of reduced pressure distillation• The apparatus has to be strong to withstand reduced pressure• The liquid boils irregularly• Other impurities with low boiling point may also be distilled.
