Raoult's law (/ ˈ r ɑː uː l z / law) is a relation of physical chemistry, with implications in thermodynamics.Proposed by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887, [1] [2] it states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component (liquid or solid) multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.
The vapor pressure affects the solute shown by Raoult's Law while the free energy change and chemical potential are shown by Gibbs free energy. Most solutes remain in the liquid phase and do not enter the gas phase, except at very high temperatures. In terms of vapor pressure, a liquid boils when its vapor pressure equals the surrounding pressure.
In thermodynamics, an activity coefficient is a factor used to account for deviation of a mixture of chemical substances from ideal behaviour. [1] In an ideal mixture, the microscopic interactions between each pair of chemical species are the same (or macroscopically equivalent, the enthalpy change of solution and volume variation in mixing is zero) and, as a result, properties of the mixtures ...
When Raoult's law and Dalton's law hold for the mixture, the K factor is defined as the ratio of the vapor pressure to the total pressure of the system: [1]
Raoult's law is applicable only to non-electrolytes (uncharged species); it is most appropriate for non-polar molecules with only weak intermolecular attractions (such as London forces). Systems that have vapor pressures higher than indicated by the above formula are said to have positive deviations.
The simplest definition is that an ideal solution is a solution for which each component obeys Raoult's law = for all compositions. Here p i {\displaystyle p_{i}} is the vapor pressure of component i {\displaystyle i} above the solution, x i {\displaystyle x_{i}} is its mole fraction and p i ∗ {\displaystyle p_{i}^{*}} is the vapor pressure ...

Köhler theory combines the Kelvin effect, which describes the change in vapor pressure due to a curved surface, with Raoult's Law, which relates the vapor pressure to the solute concentration. [1] [2] [3] It was initially published in 1936 by Hilding Köhler, Professor of Meteorology in the Uppsala University.
