Raoult's law is a law of thermodynamics established by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1882.〔. (Extract. )〕 It states that the partial vapor pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture. Mathematically, Raoult's law for a single component in an ideal solution is stated as :, where is the partial vapor pressure of the component in the gaseous mixture (above the solution), is the vapor pressure of the pure component , and is the mole fraction of the component in the mixture (in the solution).〔''A to Z of Thermodynamics'' by Pierre Perrot. ISBN 0-19-856556-9〕 Once the components in the solution have reached equilibrium, the total vapor pressure of the solution can be determined by combining Raoult's law with Dalton's law of partial pressures to give :. If a non-volatile solute (zero vapor pressure, does not evaporate) is dissolved into a solvent to form an ideal solution, the vapor pressure of the final solution will be lower than that of the pure solvent. == Principle == Raoult's law is a phenomenological law that assumes ideal behavior based on the simple microscopic assumption that intermolecular forces between unlike molecules are equal to those between similar molecules: the conditions of an ideal solution. This is analogous to the ideal gas law, which is a limiting law valid when the interactive forces between molecules approach zero, for example as the concentration approaches zero. Raoult's law is instead valid if the physical properties of the components are identical. The more similar the components are, the more their behavior approaches that described by Raoult's law. For example, if the two components differ only in isotopic content, then Raoult's law is essentially exact. Comparing measured vapor pressures to predicted values from Raoult's law provides information about the true relative strength of intermolecular forces. If the vapor pressure is less than predicted (a negative deviation), fewer molecules of each component than expected have left the solution in the presence of the other component, indicating that the forces between unlike molecules are stronger. The converse is true for positive deviations. For a solution of two liquids, A and B, Raoult's law predicts that if no other gases are present, then the total vapor pressure above the solution is equal to the weighted sum of the "pure" vapor pressures of the two components, and . Thus the total pressure above the solution of A and B would be : Since the sum of the mole fractions is equal to one, :. This is a linear function of the mole fraction , as shown in the graph. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raoult's law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
