    This project was preformed to supply Libretext Authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects.  Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.

     

    Video Topics

    When a solute is dissolved in a solvent the BP is elevated and the FP is lowered.
    This effect comes from dilution.
    dTf = iKfm
    dTb = iKbm
    dT is the change in BP or FP or (Tsolution - Tsolvent)
    K is a constant C/m
    Kb should be positive and Kf should be negative.
    m is the molality of the solute
