  1. Chapter 8 Solutions, Acids & Bases

  2. Dissolving: Dissociation, Dispersion or Ionization • Substances can dissolve in water by three ways: • 1. dissociation • 2. dispersion • 3. ionization • Dissociation is the process by which an ionic compound separates into ions • Ex: NaCl

  3. Dispersion is the process by which a compound breaks into small pieces that spread throughout the water • Ex: sugar dissolves in water • Ionization is the process by which neutral molecules gain or lose electrons (forming ions) • Ex: hydrogen chloride gas & water react to form hydronium ion (H3O+) and chlorine ion (Cl-)

  4. Physical Properties: Solute & Solvent • A solute is a substance whose particles are dissolved in a solution (often a solid) • A solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves (often a liquid) • Solutes and solvents can take the form of solids, liquids or gases • The solution takes the state of the solvent

  5. Conductivity is the ability of a solution to conduct electricity • Ex: NaCl is a poor conductor until it is placed in water & dissociates

  6. Energy Changes & Solution Formation • During formation of a solution, energy is either released or absorbed • The process is endothermic or exothermic • Forming attractions releases energy (exothermic) • Breaking attractions requires or absorbs energy (endothermic)

  7. Factors that Affect Dissolving Rate • Factors that affect the rate of dissolving include surface area, stirring and temperature • Dissolving takes place at the surface • The greater the surface area, the faster the dissolving • Stirring or shaking makes a substance dissolve faster by increasing the surface area exposed to the solvent

  8. Solubility & Factors Affecting Solubility • Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature • Solutions are classified as saturated, unsaturated or supersaturated • The classification depends on the amount of solute in solution

  9. 3 types of solutions • A saturated solution is one that contains as much solute as the solvent can hold at a given temperature • An unsaturated solution has less than the amount of solute that can be dissolved • A supersaturated solution contains more solute than the solution can normally hold at a given temperature

  10. Acids • An acid is a compound that produces hydronium ions (H3O+) when dissolved in water • Some general properties of acids include sour taste, reactivity with metals, and ability to produce color changes in indicators • An indicator is any substance that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base

  11. Bases • A base is a compound that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water • Some general properties of bases include bitter taste, slippery feel, and ability to produce color changes in indicators

  12. Strength of Acids and Bases • pH of a solution is a measure of its hydronium ion concentration

  13. A pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution • Water is the standard for pH 7 • The pH scale runs from 0 – 14 • The lower the pH, the higher the higher the hydronium ion concentration

  14. The higher the hydronium ion concentration, the more acidic the substance is • A high pH value means a low H3O+ concentration • The lower H3O+ concentration, the more basic or alkaline the solution is
