Solutions Part I: The Solution Process
Solutions: • Solute: • Solvent
The solution process • To dissolve a solute in a solvent, the intermolecular attractions between solute and solute must be strong enough to compete with solvent-solvent and solute-solute attractions.
Dissolving an ionic solid in water • The ion-dipole attractions between the salt and the solvent must be strong enough to overcome the lattice energy
“Steps” of the solution process • Step 1
“Steps” of the solution process • Step 1 • Step 2
“Steps” of the solution process • Step 1 • Step 2 • Step 3
Why do processes occur? • Achieve a lower energy state • Exothermic processes lead to lower enthalpy
Why do processes occur? • More randomness • Greater “entropy” • Can more than compensate for increasing enthalpy
Did it dissolve, or did it react? • Just because a substance “disappears” into a solvent doesn’t mean that the substance dissolved!
Dissolving vs. reaction • Dissolving • Physical change • Can recover the original substance by evaporating the solvent
Dissolving vs. reaction • Dissolving • Physical change • Can recover the original substance by evaporating the solvent • Chemical change • New substances form

“Like dissolves like” • Non-polar substances tend to dissolve in non-polar solvents
“Like dissolves like” • Non-polar substances tend to dissolve in non-polar solvents • Polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents.
“Like dissolves like” • It comes down to having similar intermolecular attractions.
Gases in solution • Solubility depends on intermolecular attractions
Gases in solution • Solubility depends on intermolecular attractions • London forces • As molar mass increases, dispersion forces are stronger
Henry’s Law • The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly dependent on the gas pressure
Henry’s Law • The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly dependent on the gas pressure • Pressure really doesn’t affect solubility of solids and liquids
Henry’s Law • Sg = kPg
Solubility and temperature • Usually, solubility of ionic solids increases with temperature
Gas solubility and temperature • Solubility of gases typically decreases with increasing temperature
