In a true solution, all the particles are of the molecular

size, i.e. upto 10-10m (diameter) and hence cant be


separated by filtration or centrifugation etc.
The concentration of pollutants in water or atmosphere
is often expressed in terms of parts per million (ppm).
Solubility of a gas in a liquid depends upon- nature of
the gas, nature of the solvent, pressure of the gas.
According to Henrys law, mass (m) of a gas dissolved in
a liquid solvent is directly proportional to the pressure
(p) of the gas above the liquid. m p, or m = KH .p
(KH is Henry constant).
According to Raoults law, p = p0. x (p0 =max. value of
pressure, x = mole fraction of solute).
The extent, to which a solute undergoes association /
dissociation in a solvent, is determined by Vant Hoff
factor (i).
Under standard conditions of concentration of all the
electrodes, the emf of a cell is given by,
Ecell = Ered (cathode) Ered (anode) (Ered is the value of
reduction potential of the electrodes).
In an electrochemical cell, spontaneous redox reactions
are used to generate electric current; in electrolytic
cell, electricity is used to perform chemical reactions.
The unit of rate constants for a zero order reaction is
mol L-1 s-1 while that of a first order reaction is s-1.
Order of a reaction can be positive, negative or zero,
while molecularity is always a positive number.
A catalyst decreases the activation energy of reactants.
