Collig. Properties

• Colligative Properties are properties of solvent that are changed by the presence of a solute.
• Forming a solution often increases the entropy.
• Reversible processes eventually reach a state or condition known as equilibrium.
• Equilibrium is a condition in the course of a reversible reaction at which there is no longer a net change in the amounts of reactants and products.
• Le Chatelier's Principle: when you put stress on a system at equilibrium (by changing T, P, or concentration) the equilibrium will shift in a direction to overcome that stress.
• In general, increasing the temp. shifts the reaction in the direction that uses heat, while lowering the temp does the opposite.
• -G is spontaneous forward
• +G is spontaneous backwards
• The larger the Ksp, the more soluble the salt.
