This lecture covers the concept of vapor-liquid equilibria in solutions, focusing on the Raoult's Law and the effect of nonvolatile solutes on vapor pressure. It also discusses ideal and non-ideal solutions, distillation processes, and the impact of temperature on boiling points. The instructor explains how to calculate the composition of vapor above a liquid mixture and the concentration of solutes in a distillation column. Practical applications of freezing point depression and elevation of boiling point are also explored.
