Mixology: a tool for calculating required masses and volumes for laboratory solutions
1Francis Crick Institute, London, NW1 1AT, UK.
Abstract:
Laboratory work often requires making up solutions with defined concentrations of various components. Mixology is a tool we have created to simplify calculation of the masses and volumes required to obtain particular concentrations. It operates with many kinds of volumetric, mass and concentration units, including conversion between molarity- and mass-based concentrations using molecular masses retrieved from the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) database. Mixology can be accessed at https://mixology.science.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
