n ∑ i= 2 64 L x [ Π − k ] P = Π − , 1 i where the total pressure is a linear function of the concentrations of impurities in the liquid. The second term will be greater than or less than zero according as the impurities are more or less volatile than the solvent. The boiling temperature of a solution with a given concentration is not that of the pure substance at the same pressure. 1 In Fig. 6.2 showing a mixture of two components, the vaporization curve of pure substance A is ACA and that of pure substance B is BCB. The critical point of the mixture is somewhere on the dashed curve CACB, depending upon the concentrations of the two components. If it is at C, the vaporization of the mixture takes place on the solid curve. Referring to Fig. 6.2, at the temperature T the pure substance boils at pressure Π1. The solution boils at the partial pressure p1, less than Π1, since Π 1 − p Π 1 1 Suppose the total pressure above the solution is P. At this pressure A would boil at TA and B at TB. If the solvent A is more volatile than the solute B, the solution begins to boil at T' > TA. In the opposite case (solvent B less volatile than solute A), the closest the boiling temperature of the solution comes to TB is T", obtained at the end of vaporization or the beginning of condensation (dew point). c) The concentration of impurities is different in the two phases and changes during the course of vaporization. We can write: x v i = 2 ∑ i= 2 L x i L i pi xi Π i = = P P (Πi being replaced by ki if xi → 0) , so that x x v L i xi Π i = ⋅ for all i = 2 to n . (6.1) v L 1 x Π 1 1 Suppose again there are two constituents. If 1 is more volatile than 2, i.e. if
Π 1 > Π 2 , then x x v 2 v 1 x < x L 2 L 2 , 65 so that x v 1 > x L 1 , and x Thus the vapour is always richer than the liquid in the more volatile constituent. A useful method to detect impurities is to compare the boiling temperatures for two different fillings of the bulb. If the total quantity of impurities is constant, the pressure for a given temperature will depend upon the level of liquid. The result deduced immediately following Eq. (6.1) may also be used for purifying a substance by withdrawing vapour during boiling. Conversely, if the impurity (constituent 1) is less volatile than the solvent (constituent 2), this procedure will increase the concentration of impurities in the solution. For a given pressure P, we can trace figuratively the evolution of the system in Fig. 6.3a. For simplicity, suppose once more there is only one type of impurity (x2 = 1 - x1 ) . Two cases occur depending upon whether constituent 2 is more or less volatile than constituent 1. Let T1 and T2 be the boiling temperatures of pure substances 1 and 2 at pressure P. Suppose first T1 > T2 (i.e. impurity more volatile than solvent). If we cool a sample of vapour with concentration x2 v = x, a drop of liquid will appear at temperature TA < T1 when the dew point is reached. The impurity concentration in this drop of liquid is x2 L = x' < x, corresponding to point B. The temperature TA obtained is the closest to T1 that can be reached starting from the vapour concentration x2 v . As the temperature continues to decrease, the condensation continues along the curve B → C until all the gas is liquified at point C with temperature TC < TA, and with a concentration x2 L = x. Conversely, with increasing temperature, the point C is attained first; the temperature the closest to T1 is obtained at the end of the vaporization. An analogous reasoning in the case of an impurity less volatile than the solvent shows that the temperature closest to T 1 will be obtained at the beginning of the vaporization (Fig. 6.3b). If there are many types of impurities, some more volatile and others less volatile than the solvent, the reasoning becomes more complicated, and an experimental study is more profitable. The above examples concern ideal solutions that can exist only if the constituents present have very similar properties. This approximation is made for a mixture of isotopes or for sufficiently dilute impurities. It becomes complicated for insoluble impurities that are present only in the vapour phase or for substances that have several stoichiometric forms with change of abundance ratios during vaporization. Moreover, v 2 < x L 2 .

Thus <strong>the</strong> vapour is always richer than <strong>the</strong> liquid in <strong>the</strong> more volatile constituent. A useful<br />
method to detect impurities is to compare <strong>the</strong> boiling <strong>temperature</strong>s <strong>for</strong> two different fillings of<br />
<strong>the</strong> bulb. If <strong>the</strong> total quantity of impurities is constant, <strong>the</strong> pressure <strong>for</strong> a given <strong>temperature</strong><br />
will depend upon <strong>the</strong> level of liquid. The result deduced immediately following Eq. (6.1) may<br />
also be used <strong>for</strong> purifying a substance by withdrawing vapour during boiling. Conversely, if<br />
<strong>the</strong> impurity (constituent 1) is less volatile than <strong>the</strong> solvent (constituent 2), this procedure will<br />
increase <strong>the</strong> concentration of impurities in <strong>the</strong> solution.<br />
For a given pressure P, we can trace figuratively <strong>the</strong> evolution of <strong>the</strong> system in Fig.<br />
6.3a. For simplicity, suppose once more <strong>the</strong>re is only one type of impurity (x2 = 1 - x1 ) . Two<br />
cases occur depending upon whe<strong>the</strong>r constituent 2 is more or less volatile than<br />
constituent 1. Let T1 and T2 be <strong>the</strong> boiling <strong>temperature</strong>s of pure substances 1 and 2 at<br />
pressure P. Suppose first T1 > T2 (i.e. impurity more volatile than solvent). If we cool a<br />
sample of vapour with concentration x2 v = x, a drop of liquid will appear at <strong>temperature</strong><br />
TA < T1 when <strong>the</strong> dew point is reached. The impurity concentration in this drop of liquid is<br />
x2 L = x' < x, corresponding to point B. The <strong>temperature</strong> TA obtained is <strong>the</strong> closest to T1 that<br />
can be reached starting from <strong>the</strong> vapour concentration x2 v . As <strong>the</strong> <strong>temperature</strong> continues to<br />
decrease, <strong>the</strong> condensation continues along <strong>the</strong> curve B → C until all <strong>the</strong> gas is liquified at<br />
point C with <strong>temperature</strong> TC < TA, and with a concentration x2 L = x.<br />

<strong>the</strong> closest to T1 is obtained at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> vaporization.<br />
An analogous reasoning in <strong>the</strong> case of an impurity less volatile than <strong>the</strong> solvent shows that<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>temperature</strong> closest to T 1 will be obtained at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> vaporization (Fig.<br />
6.3b).<br />
