This lecture covers the properties of solutions, focusing on Raoult's Law and Henry's Law. Raoult's Law describes the behavior of ideal solutions, where the partial pressure of a component is proportional to its mole fraction. On the other hand, Henry's Law relates the solubility of gases in liquids to their partial pressures. The lecture explains how deviations from Raoult's Law can occur, leading to positive or negative deviations based on the interactions between solvent and solute molecules. Practical applications of Henry's Law, such as estimating gas solubility in liquids, are also discussed, including scenarios like diving and champagne production.
