MODULE-I: THERMODYNAMICS
Basic terminology of Thermodynamics
 System: Part of universe in which observations are made
a) Homogeneous system: contains only one phase; it will be uniform throughout
b) Heterogeneous system: contains two or more phases; it will not be uniform throughout
 Surroundings: part of universe excluding system
 Universe: System + Surroundings
Types of systems
 Open system: There is exchange of energy and matter between system and
surrounding
(Example: Boiling water in an open beaker)
 Closed systems: There is no exchange of matter, but exchange of energy is possible
between system and surroundings.
(Example: Hot tea enclosed in a vessel with conducting walls)
 Isolated system: There is no exchange of energy or matter between the system and
surroundings
(Example: Hot tea in a thermo flask)
Macroscopic properties
 Thermodynamic property associated with the collective behavior of the particles in a

macroscopic system
(Examples: pressure, volume, temperature, density, surface tension etc.)
 Intensive property: Properties which are independent of amount and size of matter
present in the system.
(Examples: Temperature, Pressure, Viscosity, Density etc,)
 Extensive property: Properties which depends upon amount of substance and size of
matter present in the system.
(Examples: Mass, Volume, Surface area etc,)

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
The state of a system
 The state of a system can be described by properties such as its pressure (p),
temperature (T), volume (V), composition of the system, etc.
 Variable such as p, V, T are called state variables or state functions
 Whenever there occurs a change in one of the macroscopic properties of a system, it is
said to undergo a change in state.
State function and path function
 State function: property of a system whose values depends only upon the state of the
system and not on the path followed by the system
(Examples: Pressure, Volume, Entropy, Enthalpy etc.)
 Path function: properties which depends upon both the state and path followed by
the system
(Examples: Heat, Work etc.)
Process
 Operation by which a system changes from one state to another

 A process involves change in one or more state variables
 Finite changes in variables (P, V, T, U) are represented by  (P V T etc)
 Infinitesimally small changes are represented as dP, dT, dV etc.
Types of process
 Isothermal – Process in which T of system remains constant (T=0)

 Adiabatic – no heat enters or leaves the system
 Isochoric – process in which V remains constant (V=0)
 Isobaric - process n which P remains constant (P=0)
 Cyclic – If a system returns to its initial state after a series of different processes, the
overall reaction process is called as a cyclic process.
 Endothermic – Process in which energy is absorbed as heat.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
 Exothermic – process in which energy is liberated as heat.
Thermodynamic Equilibrium
 Equilibrium state represents that there in no change in macroscopic properties of a

system with time
1. Thermal equilibrium
2. Mechanical equilibrium
3. Chemical equilibrium
Energy Work and Heat

a) Energy
 Capacity to do work
 Work done by the system – energy is reduced.
 Work done on the system – energy is increased.
 Energy of an object can be either potential energy or kinetic energy.
 Energy is state function
b) Work
 Exertion of force (f) in moving an object through distance (d)

w=f.d
 Work is defined as the energy transfer between the system and surroundings due to
the existence of unbalanced force between the two.
Pressure-volume work or expansion work
 A system alters its volume against an opposing force.

 E.g.: expansion or contraction of gas confined in a cylinder by a piston against
constant external pressure Pext
 If V is the change in volume then the work done is given by
W= - Pext V
 By SI conversion work done on the system is positive and work done by the system
is negative
 Work is a path function.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
c) Heat
 When a system changes from one state to another the gain or loss of energy may
occur in the form of heat.
 Heat is the exchange of energy that happens between the system and the surroundings
through thermal motion when there exists a temperature difference between them,
 The heat energy transfer from hot body to cold body and at last attain a thermal
equilibrium.
 For exothermic process q is negative
 For endothermic process q is positive
 Heat is a path function
First law of thermodynamics
 Total energy of the system
Etotal=V+K+U
V=potential energy
K=kinetic energy
U=internal energy
Internal energy
 Sum of total of kinetic energies associated with translation rotational, vibrational,
electronic and nuclear motions at molecular level
 The change in internal energy
U = U2 – U1
Mathematical form of First law of thermodynamics
 Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Although it may converted from one
form to another
U = q + w
W=work done on the system
Q=heat
W = +ve when work done on the system
W = -ve when work done by the system

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
q = +ve when heat is added to the system

q = -ve when heat is lost by the system
Significance of internal energy change
U = qv
Internal energy change =Heat absorbed or evolved at constant volume
Enthalpy
 Sum of internal energy and pressure volume energy

H = U + PV
H = U + PV
qv= qv+ PV
Enthalpy change in a reaction
rH = rU+ ngRT
qp=qv + ngRT
Limitations of first law
1. it fails to explain the extent to which one form of energy can be transformed to
another,
2. It does not tell us anything about the direction of a process
3. It cannot predict feasibility of a process
4. It does not rule out the existence of a 100% efficient heat engine which is ,in fact
impossible.
Second law of Thermodynamics
Spontaneous and Non spontaneous process
 Spontaneous process
A process that has natural urge to takes place by itself
 Non Spontaneous process

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Process that has no natural urge to take place by itself and can be occur by an extra
work supplied to the system.

 Measure of disorderness of the system.

S=dqrev/T

an irreversible process.
For reversible process,
Suniv=Ssys+Ssurr =0
For Irreversible process
Suniv=Ssys+Ssurr > 0

MODULE 2- GASEOUS AND SOLID STATE

GASEOUS STATE
• Gases are best described by 4 macroscopic physical characteristics / properties. They
are
1. pressure (P)
2. Volume (V)
3. Temperature (T)
4. No of moles (n)
• All gases shows the same quantitative relationship between these properties under
similar Conditions. There relationships are known as Gas laws.
• Gas laws are based on kinetic theory of gases.
Kinetic theory of Gases

• This theory makes the following assumptions (postulates)
1. A gas is made up of very minute particles called molecules.
2. Molecules are so small. So that the actual Volume of molecules is negligible when
compared to total volume of gas. Thus,most volume of gas is empty space(We can
Compress gas easily)
3. The molecules are in Constant rapid random motion. The molecules Collide with one
another and also with the walls of the Container.
4. The pressure of the gas is due to collision of molecules on the walls of the container.
5. The Collisions are elastic. i.e, there is no net loss of energy during Collision.
6. Molecules are considered to be perfectly spherical in shape & and elastic in nature.
7. There is no force of attraction between molecules.
8. Average kinetic energy of molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature. So all
gases at same temperature have the same K.E.
9. The movement of molecules is not affected by gravity.
10. Since there is no force of attraction, molecules moves in a straight line.
Explanation of Gas laws based on kinetic theory

Boyle’s law
• When the volume of a gas is decreased the molecules come closer and closer. So the
number of Collisions increases. Thus pressure of the gas increases because of the
increased collision on the walls of the Container.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
• Thus, The Volume of a given mass оf а gas is inversely proportional to pressure of the
gas at a given temperature. This is Boyle’s law.
V α 1/P
V= a constant x 1/P
PV = a constant
Thus, P₁V₁=P₂V₂= P₃V₃
Charle’s law
• When a gas is heated the molecules absorb energy and they move faster. So, they collide
with the walls of the container with greater force.
• If the walls of the container are flexible, it will expand. Thus,
VαT
• Thus, at constant pressure, the volume of given mass of gas is directly proportional to
the absolute temperature. This is charle’s law
V/T = a constant
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ = V₃/T₃
Avagadro hypothesis
• Equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure
contain equal number of moles.
V α n (T,P)
Ideal gas equation

According to Boyle’s law, V α 1/P (T,P)
According to Charle’s law, V α T ( P, n)
According to Avagadro law,V α n (T,P)
Combining the laws, we get V α nT /P
V = R nT/P
PV =nRT (R is the universal gas constant for 1 mole of gas)
This equation is called Ideal gas equation
Maxwell distribution of molecular velocities

• Molecules in a gas are in rapid, random motion
• These molecules collide with one another. So, the velocities of molecules are constantly
changing.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
• But the distribution of molecules remains the same, at a given temperature.

• The distribution of molecular velocities at a temperature T is given by
dn/N = 4π[M/2πRT]3/2 e¯Mc²/[2RT] c2 dc
dn/N =Fraction of molecules with velocities between c and c+dc

M = molecular mass
C= velocity of the molecule
N= total number of molecules
• Maxwell- Boltzmann equation can also be written as
dn/N = 4π[m/2πKT]3/2 e¯mc²/[2KT] c2 dc
m= mass of a single molecule

K= Boltzmann constant
• Maxwell distribution of molecular velocities is generally shown as a graph plotted with
velocity of molecule on x axis and fraction of molecules on y axis
The following features (points) can be noted from the graph:
1. The fraction of molecules with very low and very high velocity is very small.
2. The most probable velocity is at the peak of the curve. It is the velocity possessed by
maximum molecules in a gas at given temperature.
3. With increase in temperature, there occurs a rise in the fraction of molecules having
higher velocities. So the curve broadens.
4. At higher temperature T2, the entire curve is shifted to the right. This shows velocity of
the molecules increases with increase in temperature.
5. The number of molecules with high velocity increases as the temperature increases. But
the fraction of molecules with most probable velocity decreases by increase in
temperature. As a result the curve gets flattened downward at the top.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Types of molecular velocities

1.Average velocity(C)
 The average velocity of n molecules with velocities C1,C2,C3…..Cn is given by
C = c1+c2+c3…..cn
N
• To obtain average velocity of any quantity from Maxwell distribution, the
quantity is multiplied by the Maxwell expression and then integrated.
• So average velocity
C= ∫ c x dn/N
8RT
C= √
π𝑀
M= molecular mass of the gas
 From the above equation, it is clear that C is proportional to square root of temperature.
C α √𝑇
2. Root mean square velocity(RMS)

• The square root of the mean of squares of the velocities possessed by all molecules at
that temperature.
C1² + C2²+ C3²…….Cn²
• U= √
𝑁
3RT
U= √
M
 RMS velocity is proportional to square root of absolute temperature.
3. Most probable velocity(α)
• The velocity possessed by maximum number of molecules at that temperature.

• To determine this velocity Maxwell distribution equation is differentiated with respect
to c.
• The resulting expression is then made equal to zero and on simplification we get most
probable velocity.

Ideal gases and real gases

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
BEHAVIOUR OF REAL GASES
 For ideal gases, since it obeys Boyle’s law, the PV-P plot at constant temperature would
be a straight line parallel to pressure axis.
 For real gases, it is not straight line. Real gases show significant deviation from ideal
behaviour.
Causes of deviation from ideal behaviour

 Gas laws and ideal gas equation were obtained from kinetic theory of gases. Kinetic
theory made 2 faulty assumptions. They are
1. Volume of molecules can be neglected compared to total volume of gas.
The molecule should possess an effective volume. Molecular volume can be
ignored at low pressure and high temperature.
2. There is no force of attraction between molecules.
If there is no force of attraction between gas molecules, it is not possible to
liquify a gas.
Compressibility factor(Z)
PV= nRT
Z= PV/nRT
Z= PVm/RT ( Vm, Molar volume=V/n)

 For an ideal gas, Z=1
 For real gases Z≠ 1
 For real gases, z= PV(real)/nRT
 For ideal gases, Z= PV(ideal)/ nRT

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
V(ideal) =nRT/P
Z= V(real)/V(ideal)
 Compressibility factor is the ratio of actual molar volume to molar volume if the gas
were ideal at that temperature and pressure.
 Significance of Z is that, it is the measure of deviation of a gas from ideal behaviour.
• At very low pressure Z=1

• At high Pressure, Z > 1
• At intermediate Pressure, Z < 1
• Thus, gases show ideal behaviour when volume is large and force is negligible.
• Up to what pressure will a gas behave ideally depends upon its nature and
temperature.
• The temperature at which a real gas obeys Boyle’s law over an appreciable range of
pressure is called Boyle point or Boyle temperature.
• Above Boyle point gases show , Z>1
• Below Boyle point gases show negative deviation till a minimum value.
• On increasing pressure Z keeps on increasing after the minimum.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Van der waals equation

• Ideal gas equation is PV= nRT
• To account the size of the molecule there should be a correction in V term of the
equation.
• To account for the force of attraction there should be a correction in pressure term.
Correction in volume
• The volume of gas is the space available for the free movement of the molecules. If the
molecule has finite size, the volume for the free movement is V-b. b is the correction
term for volume. For n moles the correction term is V-nb.
Correction for pressure

 If there is a force of attraction, the molecules of the gas collide with the walls of the
container with lesser force. To account for this reduction in pressure, P is replaced by
(P+a/V2 ) for 1 mol.
 For n moles, it is (P+ n2 a/V2 ).
 a/V2 is the correction term for pressure.
• It accounts for the force of attraction.
• Thus, van der waals equation is written as
(P+ n2 a/V2 )(V-nb)= nRT for n moles
(P+ a/V2 )(V-b)= RT for 1 mole
a and b are van der waals constant. b is also called excluded volume or co- volume.
 b is actually 4 times the actual volume of a molecule.
V=4 x4/3 πr₃
r= radius of the molecule
 Unit of a =atm dm6 mol⁻²
or
atm L2 mol⁻²
 Unit of b= L mol⁻¹
or

dm mol⁻¹
SOLID STATE
• Solids can be crystalline solids or amorphous solids.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Isotropy
• If a physical property like refractive index, thermal conductivity etc. of a substance are
same in all directions, then the substance is said to be isotropic.
Eg: cubic crystal and amorphous solids.
• In amorphous solids, arrangement of particles are in random and disordered. So all

direction have equivalent properties.
Anisotropy
• If the physical properties of the substance are different in different directions,the
substance is said to be anisotropic.
Eg: crystalline compounds other than cubic

• In a crystal of AgI , the coefficient of thermal expansion is positive in one direction and
negative in other direction. So, it is anisotropic.
• The particles in a crystal are arranged in a ordered manner. But, the arrangement of
particles may be different in different direction. So, when a property is measured, the
value may be different in different direction.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Laws of crystallography
• Crystallography is based on three fundamental laws
1. The Law of constancy of interfacial angles-
• The angle between corresponding crystal faces remains the same for a given
substance, no matter how the face develops.
2. The Law of symmetry-
• All crystals of the same substance possess the same elements of symmetry.
Symmetry operation and symmetry elements
• An action which when performed on an object yield a new orientation which is
indistinguishable from original- symmetry operation.
• A geometrical entity such as a line, plane or a point with which symmetry operation is
performed- Symmetry element.
Symmetry elements
Axis of symmetry
• It is an imaginary line passing through the centre of the crystal and if the centre is
rotated about this axis, the same appearance comes more than once.
• Symbol- Cn (n is the order of rotation)
• A cube has
3 four fold axis( 3 C4 axis)
4 three fold axis(4 C3 axis)
6 two fold axis( 6 C2 axis)
Plane of symmetry
• It is an imaginary plane passing through the centre of the crystal such that the crystal
can be divided into two halves, one is the mirror image of the other.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
• A cube has 3 rectangular plane of symmetries and 6 diagonal plane of symmetries. In

total, there are 9 plane of symmetries.
Centre of symmetry
• It is a point at the centre of the crystal such that any line drawn through it will meet
opposite faces at equal distance.
• A cube has one centre of symmetry.

• Thus, in a cubic crystal there are 6+4+3+9+1 = 23 symmetry elements.
Crystallographic terms
• The geometrical form of a crystal is described by a set of three co-ordinate axes-
crystallographic axes.
• A plane which cut all the crystallographic axes – unit plane
• The intercepts a,b,c that the unit plane makes on the crystallographic axes- unit
intercept
• The ratio of the unit intercepts – Axial ratio

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
3.The Law of Rational indices

• The law states that the intercepts of any plane of a crystal along the crystallographic
axes are either equal to unit intercepts or some simple rational number multiples of
them.
• The ratio of the intercepts of any plane on the crystallographic axes is given by
pa: qb: rc
a,b,c are unit intercepts and p,q,r are rational numbers called Weiss indices.
• Weiss indices can be converted to miller indices.
1. The reciprocals of Weiss indices are taken.
2. Fractions are cleared by multiplying throughout with the smallest number.
• Miller indices are represented by (hkl)
• The negative sign to miller indices is shown as a bar over the number.
Space lattice- An array of points showing how atoms or molecules are arranged in 3-D
space in a crystal.
Unit cell- Smallest fundamental repeating unit of a space lattice from which the entire
crystal is build up by translational displacement

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
• A unit cell can be defined by axial characteristics and angular characteristics for
a particular crystal.
• Based on angular and axial characteristics , crystals can be classified into 7
systems

lOMoARcPSD|38246060

substance.
• It is based on the concept of Bragg’s law
• Bragg’s law states that x-rays reflected from different parallel planes of crystal interfere
constructively when the path difference is integral multiple of wavelength of x- rays.

Consider a number of identical parallel planes of a crystal. Let ‘d’ be the distance
between the planes. Suppose, a beam of X-rays falls on the crystal at glancing angle θ,
some of these rays will be reflected from the upper plane at the same angle θ.
So, here angle will be, < 𝑆𝑄𝑀 = < 𝑀𝑄𝑇=θ
Also, PQ=LS
RQ=NT
Path difference = SM+MT (1)
Path length is defined as an integral multiple of wavelength= nλ (2)
From (1) and (2)
nλ = SM+MT (3)
In ∆𝑆𝑄𝑀, Sinθ= SM/QM
SM= QM Sin θ

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
SM = d sin θ (4) (QM =d)

In ∆𝑀𝑄𝑇, Sin θ = MT/QM
MT = QM Sin θ
MT = d sin θ (5)
Applying, (4) and (5) in (3)
nλ = d sin θ+ d sin θ
nλ = 2d sin θ
This equation is called Bragg’s equation. n= 1,2,3… is called the order of diffraction.
Significance of Bragg’s equation
 For a known λ for X-rays, the interplanar distance of a crystal can be calculated,
by measuring θ for a particular n value.
 The edge length of a cube can be calculated if d values are known.
For a cubic lattice, edge length (a) can be calculated using the expression
dhkl = a
√ℎ2 + 𝑘 2 + 𝑙²
 The wavelength (λ) of X-rays can be calculated, by measuring θ, d and n.
 We can calculate θ, for a given value of n, knowing λ and d.
Imperfections in solids (Crystal Defects)
 The deviation from the regular orderly arrangement of particles of a solid is called
imperfections or crystal defects.
 The crystal defects are broadly classified into two – point defects and line defects.
 The imperfection around a point (an atom) in a crystalline substance, it is termed as
point defect.
 The imperfection along a row is termed as line defect.
 Point defects: Point defects can be classified into three types: Stoichiometric defects,
Non-stoichiometric defects and Impurity defects.
1. Stoichiometric defects:
 These are point defects which do not disturb the stoichiometry of the solid. They are
also called intrinsic or thermodynamic defects, because these defects can also develop
when a substance is heated. They originate from interior of lattice.
 Ionic solids show two types of stoichiometric defects – Schottky defect and Frenkel
defect.
Schottky defect:
 It is a vacancy defect.
 It arises due to the missing of equal number of anions and cations from the lattice site.
 It is shown by ionic crystals in which the anionic and cationic sizes are almost equal.
Eg: NaCl, KCl, CsCl, AgBr etc.
 Due to this defect the density of the solid decreases.
Frenkel defect:
 It is a stoichiometric defect arising due to the misplacing of an ion (generally a cation)
from the lattice site to the interstitial site.
 It is also called dislocation defect.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
 This type of defect is shown by ionic solids in which there is a large difference in the
size of the ions.
 E.g. ZnS, AgCl, AgBr, AgI etc.
 This defect does not change the density of the solid.
2.Non-Stoichiometric defects:
 These are point defects which change the stoichiometry of a solid.
 These defects are of two types:
i) Metal excess defect and ii) Metal deficiency defect
i) Metal excess Defect:
Here the number of cations is greater than the number of anions. This arises in
two ways:
Metal excess defect due to anionic vacancies:

 Here some of the anions are missing from the lattice site. The electrical neutrality is
maintained by occupying electrons in the anionic sites. These electrons are called f-
centres because they give colour to the crystal. This defect is shown by alkali metal
halides.
 Eg: when NaCl is heated in an atmosphere of sodium vapour, some sodium atoms are
deposited at the surface of the crystal. The Cl- ions diffuse to the surface of the crystal
and combines with Na atom to form NaCl.
Na + Cl⁻ NaCl + e⁻
The electron so formed diffuse into the crystal and occupies the anion vacancy. These
electrons absorb light energy and get excited. As a result the crystal becomes yellow in
colour.
 Similarly, excess of Li makes LiCl crystals pink and excess of K makes KCl crystals
violet.
Metal excess defect due to extra cations at interstitial sites :

 Here some cations occupy the interstitial sites. The electrical neutrality is maintained
by occupying some electrons in adjacent interstitial sites.
 E.g. When ZnO crystals are heated, the white coloured crystals becomes yellow. This
is because on heating, the crystal loses oxygen as follows:
ZnO Zn²⁺ + ½ O₂+ 2e⁻
The Zn²⁺ ions now move to the interstitial sites and the electrons to neighbouring
interstitial sites. These free electrons absorb light and undergo transition to higher level and is
responsible for the yellow colour.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
ii) Metal deficiency Defect:

Here the number of cations is smaller than the number of anions. This is mainly
arises due to cation vacancies. This type of defect is commonly shown by
transition metal compounds.
E.g. FeO
In FeO crystal, some of Fe²⁺ ions are lost. To maintain electrical neutrality, some
other Fe²⁺ are converted to Fe3⁺. This creates cation vacancies.
3. Impurity Defects:
 It is the defect arising due to the presence of foreign particles in a crystal.
 Eg: Solid solution of CdCl₂ and AgCl.
Two Ag⁺ ions are missing from the AgCl and one of the cation vacancy is occupied by
Cd²⁺ ion. Other vacancy still remain in the lattice.
 This defect is also called substitutional impurity defects.
 This defect introduces semi-conducting properties and colour in compounds.

MODULE 3- LIQUID STATE AND SOLUTIONS
LIQUID STATE
 The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gases.

Properties of liquids
1. Significant attractive force between the molecules.
2. Molecules are relatively close together. The free space between the molecules is small-
liquids are incompressible.
3. Average kinetic energy of the molecule is a function of temperature.
4. Denser than gases.
5. Rate of diffusion is slower than gases.
6. Liquids show the property of evaporation, surface tension and viscosity.
EVAPORATION
 Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into vapour. It occurs at all
temperatures from freezing point to boiling point of the liquid.
 In a liquid, at any temperature, a small fraction of the molecules is moving with
relatively high velocity. Such molecules have high kinetic energy. They can overcome
the intermolecular attractive forces and escape through the surface of the liquid.
 Factors influencing evaporation of liquid.
1. Nature of liquid
2. Surface area.
3. Temperature.
• The extent of evaporation of a liquid is measured with the help of vapour pressure of a
liquid.
• In a closed vessel, the molecules evaporating from the liquid surface are confined to a
limited space. These molecules may collide among themselves or with the molecules
of air. Some of them may start moving towards the surface of the liquid and enter into
liquid. This is known as condensation.
• In the beginning, rate of evaporation is greater than the rate of condensation. But as
more and more molecules accumulate in the space above the liquid, rate of
condensation gradually increases. After some time, rate of evaporation becomes equal
to the rate of condensation and an equilibrium state is reached.
• The number of molecules in the vapour above the liquid becomes constant. These
molecules exert certain pressure over the surface of the liquid. This pressure is known
as equilibrium vapour pressure, saturated vapour pressure or vapour pressure.
• Vapour pressure depends on

1. Intermolecular forces.
Eg: In water, ethanol and diethyl ether

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding, Intermolecular forces decrease in the order
Water > ethanol > diethyl ether
Vapour pressure increases in the order
Water < ethanol < diethyl ether
2. Temperature
• The vapour pressure of a liquid has a characteristic value at a given temperature.
• The vapour pressure of a liquid increases with increase in temperature. At higher
temperature more molecules have high kinetic energy to overcome the forces of
attraction and escape to form vapour.
Boiling
• When the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to atmospheric pressure, it begins
to boil.
• The temperature at which boiling occurs is called the boiling point of the liquid.
• The temperature at which vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to 1 atm -normal
boiling point.
• The temperature at which vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to 1 bar - standard
boiling point.
• The boiling point of a liquid depends upon its nature. A more volatile liquid would boil
at a lower temperature than a less volatile liquid.
• Boiling point increases with increase in atmospheric pressure and decrease with
decrease in atmospheric pressure.
• The relationship between the vapour pressure P and the kelvin temperature T is given
by Clapeyron- Clausius equation.
ln P = - ∆ vap H + C
RT
• A plot of ln P against 1/T yield a straight line with slope -∆ vap H/R. Thus, we can
determine the ∆ vap H from the slope.
• Integrated form
log P₂/P1 = ∆ vap H [T2-T1]
2.303 R T1T2

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
SURFACE TENSION
• Any molecule in the interior of liquid is equally attracted by neighbour molecules from
all sides and it does not experience any ‘net’ force.
• Any molecule at the surface of a liquid is attracted by other molecules below it and at
the sides.
• Due to the imbalance of forces, molecule at the surface experiences a net inward pull.
As a result the surface is under tension. This phenomenon is called surface tension.
• The surface tension is defined as the force acting on an imaginary line of unit length
drawn on the surface of the liquid and acting perpendicular to it towards the liquid
side.
• Represented by the Greek letter gamma,γ .
• SI unit - N m¯ ¹. CGS unit -dyne cm¯ ¹.
Surface energy-
• Surface molecules of a liquid experience a constant inward force. Therefore they have
a higher energy than the molecules in the bulk of the liquid.
• Due to the higher energy at surface,liquids tend to have minimum number of molecules
at their surface. This is achieved by minimising the surface area. In order to increase
the surface area, energy is supplied or work is done.
• The energy supplied (or work done) for increasing the surface area of a liquid by a unit
amount is known as its surface energy. Its units are joule J m–2 or N m–1.
Effect of Temperature
• On raising the temperature surface tension of a liquid decreases. It completely vanishes
at the critical temperature.
• This happens due to the following two factors:
i) On heating, the liquids expand. This increases the intermolecular distances.
ii) On heating, the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.
• Due to both of these factors, the intermolecular forces become weak and the surface
tension decreases.
• Ramsay- Shield equation
γ(M/ρ)2/3 = k (TC -T-6)
ρ= density of liquid
Tc = Critical temperature
M= molecular mass
T= temperature in K
γ = surface tension

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Some Effects of Surface Tension

(i) Spherical Shape of liquid drops
(ii) Capillary and meniscus formation
• The phenomenon of rise or fall of a liquid in a capillary is known as capillary action.
• The capillary rise of water in the glass capillary is due to its wetting nature as the
adhesive forces are stronger then cohesive forces.
• The capillary fall of mercury result from the fact that cohesive forces are stronger than
adhesive force.
• When a wetting liquid such as water is taken in a glass tube, the liquid tends to rise
slightly along the walls of the tube for increasing its area of contact with glass. The
surface of the liquid (meniscus) becomes curved. It is concave in shape.
• When a non-wetting liquid like mercury is taken a glass tube, it tends to decrease its
area of contact and depresses along the walls of the glass tube. The meniscus is convex
in shape.
• The angle which the curved surface makes with the wall of the tube is called contact
angle (θ). θ<90 , for capillary rise. θ>90 for capillary fall.
iii) Water spreads on a glass while mercury remains as a drop
• The liquid (L) is resting on a solid(S) surface which is in equilibrium. Let θ be the angle
of contact.
• γGS , γGL and γLS are the surface energy of GS, GL and LS interface.
• At equilibrium
γGS = γLS + γGLcosθ

• The value of θ depends on γGS and γLS
• In case of water on glass surface, surface energy of glass- water interface is less than
that of glass- air interface.
• γGS > γLS, cosθ is positive, θ<90
• In case of mercury on glass surface, surface energy of glass- water interface is greater
than that of glass- air interface.
• γGS < γLS, cosθ is negative, θ>90
VISCOSITY
• Internal resistance to flow is called viscosity.
• Arises due to intermolecular forces. These forces hold the layer together and opposes
the movement of layers.
• When a liquid flows steadily, it flows in different layers with one layer sliding over the
other. The different layers move at different rates.Such a flow is known as laminar
flow.
• The retarding influence of slow moving layer on the adjacent fast moving layer is called
viscosity
• The force of friction, f between two layers depends upon:

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
i) area in contact A.
ii) distance between the layers, dz.
iii) difference in velocity between the layers, du.
Velocity gradient between the layers= du/dz
f = η A du
dz
η is called the coefficient of viscosity
• If A = 1 cm2, du = 1 cm s⁻¹ and dz = 1 cm, then f = η

• Thus, coefficient of viscosity is the force of friction between two parallel layer of the
liquid which have 1cm2 area of contact, are separated by 1cm and have a velocity
difference of 1cm s–1.
• f is also equal to the external force which is required to overcome the force of friction
and maintain the steady flow between two parallel layers.
Unit of η
In SI system- N m¯²s = Pa s
In CGS system- dynes cm¯² s = Poise
• Greater the value of η, greater is the viscosity.- less mobile
• Fluidity, φ= 1/ η
• Stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater is the resistance to the flow and greater
is the viscosity.
SOLUTIONS
• Solutions are homogeneous mixtures containing two or more components.
• The component present in larger quantity is called solvent.
• The components present in the solution other than solvent are called solutes.
• Solutions containing only two components are called binary solutions. Each component
may be in solid, liquid or gaseous state.
i) Gaseous solutions
• Gas -Gas :Mixture of O2 and CO2
• Liquid -Gas :Chloroform mixed with nitrogen gas, water-vapour in air
• Solid- Gas :Camphor in nitrogen gas, naphthalene in air
ii) Liquid solutions

• Gas- Liquid: Oxygen dissolved in water, soda water
• Liquid –Liquid : Alcohol dissolved in water, dilute acids and alkalies
• Solid -Liquid :Salt in water, glucose in water
iii) Solid solutions

• Gas - Solid : Hydrogen in Pd, Pt, Ni etc
• Liquid - Solid : Amalgam of mercury with sodium
• Solid -Solid : Brass (cu-zn)
Solubility of gases in liquids
• Solubility of gases in liquids is affected by nature of gas, pressure and temperature.
• Easily liquefiable gases are more soluble in common solvents

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
• If there is greater interaction between gas and liquid- solubilty increases

• If there is chemical similarity between gas and liquid, solubility increases.
• As temperature increases solubility of gas decreases.
• The solubility of a gas increases with increase of pressure.
Henry’s law. “The law states that at a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a
liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas”.
Or, “the partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (p) is proportional to the mole fraction
of the gas (x) in the solution” and is expressed as:
p = KH x
KH = Henry’s law constant.
• The value of KH depends on the nature of the gas.

• As the value of KH increases at a given pressure, the solubility of the gas in the liquid
decreases.
Limitations of Henry’s law

• Henry’s law is obeyed only when
1. The gas has low solubility in the solvent.
2. The pressure is low.
3. The temperature is high.
4. The gas does not undergo a change in molecular state.
APPLICATIONS
• To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks and soda water, the bottle is sealed under
high pressure.
• Scuba divers - At high pressure under water, the solubility of atmospheric gases in
blood increases. When the divers come towards surface, the pressure gradually
decreases. This releases the dissolved gases and leads to the formation of bubbles of
nitrogen in the blood. This blocks capillaries and creates a medical condition known as
bends.
• At high altitudes the partial pressure of oxygen is less than that at the ground level. This
leads to low concentrations of oxygen in the blood and tissues of people living at high
altitudes or climbers. Low blood oxygen causes climbers to become weak and unable
to think clearly – anoxia
• The process of expelling a dissolved gas from a solution by bubbling an unreactive gas
of low solubility.
COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES
• The properties which depend only on the number of solute particles and not on their
nature are called Colligative properties.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure

• Osmosis is the process of flow of solvent molecules from pure solvent to solution
through a semipermeable membrane.
• Or, it is the flow of solvent molecules from lower concentration side to a higher
concentration side through a semi-permeable membrane (SPM).
• A membrane that allows the passage of solvent molecules only is called a semi-
permeable membrane. E.g. egg membrane, all animal and plant membrane.
• Cellulose acetate is an example for artificial SPM.
• Osmotic pressure(π) is defined as the excess pressure that must be applied on solution
side to stop osmosis.
Laws of osmotic pressure
1. Boyle –van’t Hoff law
Temperature remaining constant, the osmotic pressure of a solution is directly proportional
to its molar concentration.
παC
π α 1/V
V = volume of solution containing 1 mole solute
2. Charles- van’t Hoff Law

Concentration remaining constant, the osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the
Kelvin temperature.

π α T/V
πV α T
πV =S T S= Solution constant
πV =nS T n= number of moles of solute in volume V
πV =nR T S≈R, R= Universal gas constant
Determination of molecular mass of solute

According to van’t Hoff osmotic pressure equation,
πV= nRT
n=w/M w= mass of non- volatile solute
M= molar mass of non- volatile solute

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
π V= w RT
M
M= w RT
πV
By measuring the osmotic pressure of known concentration at definite temperature, the molar
mass of solute can be determined using van’t Hoff osmotic pressure equation
Determination of molar mass of polymers(proteins)

• Osmotic pressure method is the most useful method for determination of molar mass of
polymers
• Osmotic pressure are measurable for polymers and no strong membranes are needed.
• According to van’ Hoff equation,
πV= w RT w= mass of polymer
M M= Molar mass of polymer
π= w RT
V M (w/V =C, Concentration in g/L)
π= C RT
M
π = RT
C M
• A series of osmotic pressure measurements are made and the data is extrapolated to
get the actual molar mass.
• π/C is plotted against C to get a linear plot. This when extrapolated to C=0 gives
limiting value (π/C)0
(π/C)0 =RT/M
Molecular mass, M= RT/(π/C)0
Isotonic solutions-
• The solutions having same osmotic pressure at the same temperature.
• When such solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, no osmosis occurs.
Reverse osmosis and water purification
• The direction of osmosis can be reversed if a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure
is applied to the solution side.
• The pure solvent flows out of the solution through the semi permeable membrane.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
• This phenomenon is called reverse osmosis and is used in desalination of sea water.
• When pressure more than osmotic pressure is applied, pure water is squeezed out of the
sea water through the membrane. Commonly used SPM are nylon,cellulose acetate.

MODULE 4- ELECTROCHEMISTRY
 Branch of chemistry that deals with the inter conversion of electrical energy and
chemical energy.
Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions
 Resistance (R): The electrical resistance is the hindrance to the flow of electrons. Unit-
ohm (Ω).
 The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor (Ɩ)
and inversely proportional to the area of cross-section (A) of the conductor.
R α Ɩ /A
R = ρ x Ɩ/A, where ρ (rho) is a constant called resistivity. Its unit is ohm-metre (Ωm).
Resistivity is defined as the resistance offered by a conductor having unit length and
unit area of cross section.
 Conductance (G): It is the inverse of resistance.
 G = 1/R. Unit is ohm-1 or mho or Siemens (S)
 G = K x A/Ɩ Where, K is called conductivity.
Conductivity is the conductance of a conductor having unit length and unit area of
cross-section. Unit is ohm-1 m-1 or mho m-1 or S m-1.
 There are of two types of Conductance - electronic or metallic conductance and
electrolytic or ionic conductance.
Equivalent conductance (˄eq)
 The conducting power of all the ions produced from 1g equivalent of the electrolyte in
solution.
 ˄eq =K x V , V is the volume of solution in cm3. K= specific conductance.
 ˄eq = K x 1000
N
N=Normality of the solution
 Unit of ˄eq is ohm⁻1 cm2 eq⁻1 or S cm2eq⁻1 or Sm2eq-1.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Molar conductance (˄m)
 The conducting power of all the ions produced from one gram mole of electrolyte in
solution.
 ˄m = K x Vˈ , Vˈ is the volume of solution containing 1 mole of electrolyte.
 ˄m = K x 1000
M = Molarity of the solution.

 Relation between ˄eq and ˄m
˄eq = Equivalent mass of the electrolyte x ˄m
Molecular mass of the electrolyte
˄eq = Molarity of the solution x ˄m
Normality of the solution
Cell constant
The ratio of the distance between the two electrodes in a conductivity cell to the area
of cross- section of the electrode.
Cell constant, G* = l/ a
Conductivity = conductance x cell constant
Variation of conductivity and Molar conductivity with concentration (dilution)
 Both conductivity and molar conductivity change with the concentration of the
electrolyte. When a solution is diluted, its concentration decreases.
For both strong and weak electrolytes,
 Conductivity always decreases with dilution. Conductivity is the conductance of unit
volume of electrolytic solution. As dilution increases, the number of ions per unit
volume decreases and hence the conductivity decreases.
 For both strong and weak electrolytes, the molar conductivity increase with dilution (or
decrease with increase in concentration).
 For strong electrolytes, as dilution increases, the force of attraction between the ions
decreases and hence the ionic mobility increases. So, molar conductivity increases.
When dilution reaches maximum or concentration approaches zero, the molar
conductivity becomes maximum and it is called the limiting molar conductivity
(λmº).
 For strong electrolytes, the relation between λm and concentration can be given as:
λm = λm° - A√c

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
c = concentration and A is a constant.

 For weak electrolytes, as dilution increases, the degree of dissociation increases. So the
number of ions and hence the molar conductivity increases.
 The variation of λm for strong and weak electrolytes is shown in the following graphs:
 For strong electrolytes, the value of λmᵒ can be determined by the extrapolation of the
graph.
 For weak electrolytes, since the graph is not a straight line, λmᵒ values are calculated
by applying Kohlrausch’s law of independent migration of ions.
Kohlrausch’s law of independent migration of ions
 The law states that the limiting molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented
as the sum of individual contributions of the anion and the cation of the electrolyte
 If an electrolyte on dissociation gives Ay+ and Bx- ions, its limiting molar conductivity
is given as:
λmᵒ = xλ+ᵒ + yλ-ᵒ
For NaCl, λᵒm(NaCl) = λᵒ(Na+) + λᵒ(Clˉ)
For CaCl2, λᵒm(CaCl2) = λᵒ(Ca2+) + 2 x λᵒ(Cl-)
Applications of Kohlrausch’s law

1) Determination of λ°m of weak electrolytes
 By knowing the λ°m values of strong electrolytes, we can calculate λ°m of weak
electrolytes.
 We can determine the λ°m of acetic acid (CH3COOH) by knowing the λ°m of
CH3COONa, NaCl and HCl as follows

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
λ°m (CH3COONa) = λ°CH3COOˉ + λ°Na⁺ …………. (1)

λ°m (HCl) = λ°H⁺ + λ°Cl- …………….. (2)
λ°m (NaCl) = λ°Na⁺ + λ°Clˉ………….. (3)
(1) + (2) - (3) gives
λ°m (CH3COONa) + λ°m (HCl) - λ°m (NaCl) = λ°CH3COOˉ + λ°Na⁺ + λ°H⁺ + λ°Clˉ
- λ°Na⁺ - λ°Clˉ= λ°CH3COOH
2) Determination of degree of dissociation of weak electrolytes
 By knowing the molar conductivity at a particular concentration (λcm) and limiting
molar conductivity(λ°m), we can calculate the degree of dissociation (α) as,
α = λc m
λ°m
3) Determination of solubility and solubility products of sparingly soluble salts
 Solubility can be determined from the equation
S = Kx1000
˄°m
˄°m can be obtained using Kohlrausch’s law.
The solubility product can be obtained if solubility is known
4) Determination of ionic product of water
 Water is a weak electrolyte. It dissociates feebly into H⁺ and OHˉ ions. The product of
concentration of H⁺ and OHˉ is called ionic product of water(Kw)
Kw= [H⁺][OHˉ]
 At 298 K , Kw= 1.02 x10ˉ14 mol2 dmˉ6. This value can be obtained from conductance
measurement.
 By kohlrausch’s law,
˄°H2O = λ°H⁺ +λ° OHˉ
λ° H⁺ =349.8 ohmˉ1 cm² molˉ1
λ° OHˉ =198.5 ohmˉ1 cm² molˉ1
Therefore, ˄°H₂O = 548.3 ohmˉ1 cm² molˉ1
[H⁺]= Specific conductance of water = 5.54 x 10ˉ8 ohmˉ1cmˉ1 = 1.01 x10ˉ7 mol dmˉ3
˄°H2O 548.3 ohmˉ1cm2 molˉ1
Since, [H⁺] =[OHˉ] = 1.01x 10ˉ7 mol dmˉ3

Kw = 1.02 x10ˉ14 mol2 dmˉ6 at 298

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Conductometric titrations
 Principle- During the titration, one of the ions is replaced by the other and these two
ions differ in the ionic conductivity. As a result, conductivity of the solution varies
during titration. The equivalence point is located graphically by plotting the
conductance as a function of the volume of titrant added.
 Acid –alkali titrations
a) Strong acid- strong base titrations
Eg: HCl X NaOH titration
Before NaOH is added, the conductance is high due to the presence of highly mobile
hydrogen ions. When the base is added, the conductance falls due to the replacement of
hydrogen ions by Na⁺. H⁺ ions react with OHˉ ions to form undissociated water. This
decrease in the conductance continues till the equivalence point. At the equivalence
point, the solution contains only NaCl. After the equivalence point, the conductance
increases due to the large conductivity of OH- ions.
b) Weak acid- strong base titrations
Eg: CH3COOH X NaOH titration
Initially the conductance is low due to the feeble ionization of acetic acid. On the
addition of NaOH, the conductance increases as NaOH neutralizes the un-dissociated
CH3COOH to CH3COONa which is the strong electrolyte. This increase in
conductance continues raise up to the equivalence point. Beyond the equivalence point,
conductance increases more rapidly with the addition of NaOH due to the highly
conducting OHˉ ions.
c) Strong acid- weak base titrations
Eg: HCl X NH4OH titration.
Initially the conductance is high and then it decreases due to the replacement of H⁺ ions
by slow moving NH4⁺ ions . But after the endpoint has been reached the graph becomes
almost horizontal, since the excess NH4OH is only feebly dissociated.
d) Weak acid- weak base titrations
Eg: CH3COOH X NH4OH titration
Initially the conductance is low due to the feeble ionization of acetic acid. on adding
NH4OH, the conductance at first decreases due to the suppression of dissociation of
CH3COOH and NH4OH by the common ions formed. Then conductance increases as

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
more salt is formed. After the equivalence point the conductance remains constant since
weak bases are only feebly ionized.
Precipitation titrations
 Titration which involve precipitate formation can be done conductometrically.
Eg: KCl x AgNO3 titration.
 KCl is taken in conductivity cell and AgNO3 is added from the burette. AgCl gets
precipitated. Clˉ ions are replaced by NO3ˉ ions. Since, both the ions have same
mobility, the conductivity remains constant. After the equivalence point, further
addition of AgNO3 introduces free Ag⁺ and NO3ˉ into the solution. Hence, conductance
increases sharply.
GALVANIC CELLS/ ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL/VOLTAIC CELL

 These are devices that convert chemical energy of some redox reactions to electrical
energy.
 It is constructed by dipping a Zn rod in ZnSO4 solution and a Cu rod in CuSO4 solution.
The two solutions are connected externally by a metallic wire through a voltmeter and
a switch and internally by a salt bridge.
 A salt bridge is a U-tube containing an inert electrolyte like KCl or NaNO3 or KNO3
in a gelly like substance. The functions of a salt bridge are:
1. To complete the electrical circuit.
2. To maintain the electrical neutrality in the two half cells.
3. It prevents accumulation of charges in the two electrolyte solutions.
4. It prevents mechanical mixing of the two electrolyte solutions and avoids liquid junc
tions.
 The reaction taking place in a Daniel cell is
Zn(s) + Cu2⁺(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
This reaction is a combination of two half reactions:
(i) Cu2+ + 2 e- → Cu(s) (reduction half reaction)
(ii) Zn(s) → Zn2+ + 2 e- (oxidation half reaction)
 These reactions occur in two different portions of the Daniel cell. The reduction half
reaction occurs on the copper electrode while the oxidation half reaction occurs on the
zinc electrode. These two portions of the cell are also called half-cells or redox

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
couples. The copper electrode may be called the reduction half-cell and the zinc
electrode, the oxidation half-cell.
 In a galvanic cell, the half-cell in which oxidation takes place is called anode and it
has a negative potential. The other half-cell in which reduction takes place is called
cathode and it has a positive potential.
 By IUPAC convention, while representing a galvanic cell, the anode is written on the
left side and the cathode on the right side. Metal and electrolyte solution are separated
by putting a vertical line and a salt bridge is denoted by putting a double vertical line.
 The cell representation is Zn(s)/Zn2+(aq, 1M)//Cu2+(aq, 1M)/Cu(s)
Reversible electrodes
 The electrodes of a reversible cell are called reversible electrodes. The various types of
reversible electrodes are as follows:
Metal-Metal ion electrode:
 It consist of a metal rod in contact with a solution of its own ion or ions (cations), with
which the electrode is reversible.
 General representation : M(s)│Mn+ (aq)
 General electrode reaction: Mn+ + ne- M(s)
Electrode representation Electrode reaction
i) Zn(s)│Zn2+(aq) Zn Zn2+ + 2e-
ii) Cu(s)│Cu2+(aq) Cu Cu2+ + 2e-
Metal –Metal sparingly salt electrode:
 This type of electrode consist of a metal in contact with one of its insoluble salts and a
solution containing a negative ion of the salt.
Electrode representation Electrode reaction
i) Ag(s),AgCl(s)│Clˉ (aq) AgCl(s) + e- Ag(s) + Clˉ(aq)
ii) Hg(l),Hg2Cl2(s)│Clˉ (aq) Hg2Cl2(s) + 2eˉ 2Hg(s) + 2 Clˉ
Redox electrodes:
 This type of electrodes consists of an inert metal like platinum in contact with an
aqueous solution of the salt of an element in different oxidation state.
 Eg:
Pt(s), Fe2+(aq)│Fe3+(aq) Fe3+(aq) + e- Fe2+(aq)
Pt(s),Sn2+(aq)│Sn4⁺ (aq) Sn4+ (aq) + 2e- Sn2+(aq)

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Electrode Potential
 The tendency of a metal to lose or gain electron when it is in contact with its own
solution is called electrode potential.
 When the concentrations of all the species involved in a half-cell is unity then the
electrode potential is known as standard electrode potential.
 According to IUPAC convention, standard reduction potential is taken as the
standard electrode potential of the cathode and anode.
 The potential difference between the two electrodes of a galvanic cell is called the cell
potential and is measured in volts. The cell potential is the difference between the
electrode potentials (reduction potentials) of the cathode and anode.
Measurement of Electrode Potential
 The potential of individual half-cell cannot be measured. We can measure only the
difference between the two half-cell potentials that gives the emf of the cell. For this
purpose, we couple the electrode with reference electrodes.
 Commonly used reference electrode is Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) or
Normal Hydrogen Electrode (NHE).
 It consists of a platinum electrode coated with platinum black. The electrode is dipped
in an acidic solution of one molar concentration and pure hydrogen gas at 1 bar
pressure and 298K is bubbled through it.
It is represented as Pt(s),H2(1 bar)│H+ (aq,1M).
 By convention, the electrode potential of SHE is taken as zero.
 SHE can act as cathode or anode depending on other electrode.
 To determine the electrode potential of an electrode, it is connected in series with the
standard hydrogen electrode and the emf of the resulting cell is determined by the
equation,
Ecell = ER – EL
Since the electrode potential of SHE is zero, the value of Ecell is equal to the
electrode potential of the given electrode.
 If on combination with SHE, reduction occurs at the electrode, measured electrode
potential is given positive sign.
 If on combination with SHE, oxidation occurs at the electrode, measured electrode
potential is given negative sign.

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Electrochemical series
 It is a series in which various electrodes are arranged in the decreasing order of their
reduction potential.
 In this table, fluorine is at the top indicating that fluorine gas (F2) has the maximum
tendency to get reduced to fluoride ions (F–). Therefore fluorine gas is the strongest
oxidising agent and fluoride ion is the weakest reducing agent.
 Lithium has the lowest electrode potential indicating that lithium ion is the weakest
oxidising agent while lithium metal is the most powerful reducing agent.
Uses
 Helps to predict the relative ease of oxidation of various elements or the relative ease
of reduction of metallic cations or non- metallic elements.
 Tells us about the constitution of any cell set up by combining two standard electrodes
and makes it possible to calculate the standard EMF of any such cell.
 Helps to predict the direction of displacement reactions.
 Predict whether a metal will displace hydrogen from dilute acids or not.
Nernst Equation
 Nernst proposed an equation which relate the electrode potential of an electrode with
the electrolytic concentration.
 He showed that for the electrode reaction:
Mn+ (aq) + ne- –→ M(s)
The electrode potential can be given by:
Eel = E0 el – RT ln [M]
nF [Mn+]
Since the concentration of any solid is taken as unity, the above equation becomes:
Eel = E0 el – RT ln 1
nF [Mn+]
Eel = E0 el – 2.303RT log [M]

nF [Mn+]

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
Eel = E0 el + 2.303RT log [Mn+]

nF
Where E0 el is the standard electrode potential, R is the gas constant (8.314 JK–1 mol–1),
F is Faraday constant (96500 C mol–1), T is temperature in Kelvin and [M n+] is the
concentration of the species, M n+.
Eel = E0 el + 0.0591 log [Mn+]

n
0
Eel = E el - 2.303RT log [reduced state]
nF [oxidised state]
EMF of galvanic cell
 The cell electromotive force (emf) of the cell is the potential difference between the
two electrodes, when no current is drawn from the cell.
 Ecell = Eright – Eleft Or, Ecell = ER – EL.
 Ecell = Ecathode – Eanode
 For a general electrochemical reaction of the type:
a A + bB ⎯⎯ ne-⎯→ cC + dD
Nernst equation can be written as:
Ecell = E0cell - 0.0591 log [C]c [D]d
n [A]a [B]b
Reference electrodes
 An electrode whose potential is accurately known is known as reference electrode.
 The potential of any other electrode can be determined by coupling with reference
electrode.
 Commonly used reference electrodes are standard hydrogen electrode and calomel
electrode.
 Standard hydrogen electrode whose potential is fixed zero is the primary reference
electrode.
Calomel electrode-
 Pure mercury is placed at the bottom of a glass tube. It is covered with a paste of
mercurous chloride in pure mercury. Tube is filled with KCl solution. A platinum wire
is sealed into thin glass tube containing mercury at the bottom. This is to maintain
electrical contact with the circuit.
 The electrode reaction is
Hg2Cl2 + 2e- 2 Hg + 2Cl-

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
 The cell representation is Hg,Hg2Cl2 │ KCl
H2-O2 fuel cell

 Fuel cells are galvanic cells which convert the energy of fuel oxidation reaction
(combustion of fuels like hydrogen, methane, methanol, etc) directly into electrical
energy.
 Eg: H2-O2 fuel cell.
Hydrogen and oxygen are bubbled through porous graphite electrodes into concentrated
aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. To increase the rate of electrode reactions,
catalysts like finely divided platinum metal are filled into the electrodes.
 The cell can be represented as
C(graphite) , H2 (g) │NaOH (aq)│ O2(g) ,C(graphite)
 The cell reactions are
Cathode: O2(g) + 2H2O(l ) + 4e–→4OH–(aq)

Anode: 2H2 (g) + 4OH–(aq) → 4H2O(l) + 4e–
Overall reaction is: 2H2(g) + O2(g) ⎯→ 2 H2O(l )
 Here, the energy of the reaction is converted to electrical energy.
Advantages of Fuel cells
1. The cell works continuously as long as the reactants are supplied.
2. It has higher efficiency as compared to other conventional cells.
3. It is eco-friendly since water is the only product formed.
4. Water obtained from H2 – O2 fuel cell can be used for drinking.
The ionization constant of water (The ionic product of water)
 Water is a weak electrolyte and hence it ionizes only partially as:
H2O + H2O ⇌ H3O + + OH-
The dissociation constant, K = [H3O +] [OH-]
[H2O] [H2O]
Kw = [H3O +] [OH-]
Where Kw is called ionization constant of water or ionic product of water.
 It is defined as the product of the molar concentration of hydrogen ion (hydronium ion)
and hydroxyl.
 For pure water at 298K, [H+] = [OH-] = 10-7M.
 Kw = [H+][OH-] = 10-7 x 10-7 = 10-14M 2 .

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
 The value of Kw is temperature dependent.

 By knowing the concentrations of H3O+ and OH- ions, we can predict the nature of an
aqueous solution,
 If [H3O +] > [OH- ], the solution is acidic
If [H3O +] < [OH-], the solution is basic
If [H3O +] = [OH-], the solution is neutral
The pH scale
 pH is defined as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the hydrogen ion or hydronium
ion concentration in moles per litre. i.e. pH = - log[H+ ] or pH = - log[H3O + ]
 For pure water, at 298K , [H+ ] = 10-7. Therefore pH of pure water is 7.
 The pH scale contains numbers from 0 to 14. If the pH is less than 7, the solution is
acidic, if it is greater than 7, it is basic and if it is 7, the solution is neutral.
 Negative logarithm of hydroxyl ion concentration in mol/L is called pOH .
i.e. pOH = -log[OH-]
Relation between pH and pOH
 We know that Kw = [H+ ][OH- ] = 10-14 at 298K
Taking negative logarithm on both sides:
-log Kw = -log[H+ ] + -log[OH- ] = -log 10-14
Or, pKw = pH + pOH = 14
Ostwald’s dilution law
 Ostwald’s dilution law describes the dissociation constant of the weak electrolyte with
the degree of dissociation (α) and the concentration of the weak electrolyte.
 A binary electrolyte AB dissociates into A+ and B– ions.
AB ⇌ A+ + B–
K = (cα) (cα)
c−cα
K = (cα) (cα)
c− cα
On simplifying, we get
K = cα2
1−α
(i) For very weak electrolytes, since α <<< 1, (1 – α) = 1
∴ K = Cα2

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
α = √K/C
Since, c =1/V
𝛼 = √KV
(ii) Concentration of any ion = Cα = √CK = √K/V
 Ostwald dilution law states that, for weak electrolytes, the degree of dissociation is
inversely proportional to the square root of concentration. Or it is directly
proportional to the square root of the volume containing one mole of the weak
electrolyte.
 Limitations of Ostwald dilution law-
Applies only to weak electrolytes. Strong electrolytes are completely ionized even at
low dilutions and there is no equilibrium existing between ions and unionized
molecules.
 Applications-
1) Calculation of degree of ionization of weak acids and bases.
For weak acids,𝛼 = √𝐾𝑎/C
For weak bases, 𝛼 = √Kb/C
2) Calculation of pH and pOH of a weak acid or base
For weak acids , pH = - log C 𝛼
For weak bases, pOH = -log C 𝛼
3) Calculation of ionization constants of weak acids and bases
For weak acids, Ka = C 𝛼2
For weak bases, Kb = C 𝛼2
BUFFER SOLUTIONS
 The solution which resist any change in its pH upon addition of small amounts of acids
or bases.
 There are two types of buffer solutions – acidic buffer and basic buffer.
 Acidic buffer is a mixture of a weak acid and its salt with a strong base. E.g. a mixture
of acetic acidand sodium acetate acts as an acidic buffer around pH 4.75.
 Basic buffer is a mixture of a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. E.g. a mixture
of NH4OH and NH4Cl acts as a basic buffer around pH 9.25.
PH of a Buffer solution – Henderson - Hasselbalch Equation
 For an acidic buffer, pH = pKa + log[Salt]/[Acid]
 For a basic buffer,pOH = pKb + log[Salt]/[Base]

lOMoARcPSD|38246060
 pH = 14 – pOH
Mechanism of buffer action
 The property by which a buffer solution resists any change in its pH on addition of
small amount of acids or bases to it is called buffer action.
 Acidic buffer-
Eg: buffer action of acetic acid/ sodium acetate buffer.
Acetic acid is weakly ionized and sodium acetate is completely ionised in solution. The
addition of acid is countered by CH3COO- ions to form acetic acid. the addition of base
is countered by CH3COOH. Thus, pH is maintained constant.
CH3COO- + H3O+ ⇌ CH3COOH + H2O
CH3COOH + OH- ⇌ CH3COO- + H2O
 Basic buffer-
Eg: Buffer action of ammonium hydroxide/ammonium chloride buffer.
Ammonium hydroxide is weakly ionized and ammonium chloride is completely ionised
in solution. The addition of acid is countered by NH4OH and the addition of base is
countered by NH4+ ions. Thus, pH is maintained constant.
NH4OH + H3O+ ⇌ NH4+ + 2H2O
NH4+ + OH- ⇌ NH4OH
 Buffer action of the salt of weak acid and a weak base.
Eg: Ammonium acetate solution.
On adding acid, the acetate ions furnished by the salt combine with the H3O+ to form
CH3COOH. On adding a base, ammonium ions furnished by the salt combine with OH-
to form NH4OH.
CH3COO- + H3O+ ⇌ CH3COOH + H2O
NH4+ + OH- ⇌ NH4OH
