What is freezing point depression?

It is the lowering of a solvent’s freezing point when a solute is added.

What is the formula for freezing point depression?

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

What is boiling-point elevation?

The increase in a solvent’s boiling point when a non-volatile solute is added.

How is boiling-point elevation calculated?

By $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$, where $K_b$ is the constant and $m$ is molality.

Freezing Point Depression

Lowering of freezing point with solutes.

Boiling Point Elevation

Increase in boiling point by solutes.

Osmosis

Solvent passes through semipermeable membrane.

Osmotic Pressure

Pressure to stop osmosis.

Tonicity

Effect of solution on cell volume.

Oncotic Pressure

Protein-driven water attraction in blood.

States of Water

Solid, liquid, and vapor states.
