Solutions

1. Solutions

2. Solutions • A solution is a homogeneous mixture. • A solution is composed of a solute dissolved in a solvent. • Solutions exist in all three physical states:

3. Gases in Solution • Temperature effects the solubility of gases. • The higher the temperature, the lower the solubility of a gas in solution. • An example is carbon dioxide in soda: • Less CO2 escapes when you open a cold soda than when you open the soda warm

4. Polar Molecules • When two liquids make a solution, the solute is the lesser quantity, and the solvent is the greater quantity. • Recall, that a net dipole is present in a polar molecule. • Water is a polar molecule.

5. Polar & Nonpolar Solvents • A liquid composed of polar molecules is a polar solvent. Water and ethanol are polar solvents. • A liquid composed of nonpolar molecules is a nonpolar solvent. Hexane is a nonpolar solvent.

6. Like Dissolves Like • Polar solvents dissolve in one another. • Nonpolar solvents dissolve in one another. • This it the like dissolves like rule. • Methanol dissolves in water but hexane does not dissolve in water. • Hexane dissolves in toluene, but water does not dissolve in toluene.

7. Miscible & Immiscible • Two liquids that completely dissolve in each other are miscible liquids. • Two liquids that are not miscible in each other are immiscible liquids. • Polar water and nonpolar oil are immiscible liquids and do not mix to form a solution.

8. Solids in Solution • When a solid substance dissolves in a liquid, the solute particles are attracted to the solvent particles. • When a solution forms, the solute particles are more strongly attracted to the solvent particles than other solute particles. • We can also predict whether a solid will dissolve in a liquid by applying the like dissolves like rule.

9. Like Dissolves Like for Solids • Ionic compounds, like sodium chloride, are soluble in polar solvents and insoluble in nonpolar solvents. • Polar compounds, like table sugar (C12H22O11), are soluble in polar solvents and insoluble in nonpolar solvents. • Nonpolar compounds, like naphthalene (C10H8), are soluble in nonpolar solvents and insoluble in polar solvents.

10. The Dissolving Process • When a soluble crystal is placed into a solvent, it begins to dissolve. • When a sugar crystal is placed in water, the water molecules attack the crystal and begin pulling part of it away and into solution. • The sugar molecules are held within a cluster of water molecules called a solvent cage.

11. Dissolving of Ionic Compounds • When a sodium chloride crystal is place in water, the water molecules attack the edge of the crystal. • In an ionic compound, the water molecules pull individual ions off of the crystal. • The anions are surrounded by the positively charged hydrogens on water. • The cations are surrounded by the negatively charged oxygen on water.

12. Rate of Dissolving • There are three ways we can speed up the rate of dissolving for a solid compound. • Heating the solution: • This increases the kinetic energy of the solvent and the solute is attacked faster by the solvent molecules. • Stirring the solution: • This increases the interaction between solvent and solute molecules. • Grinding the solid solute: • There is more surface area for the solvent to attack.

13. Solubility and Temperature • The solubility of a compound is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in 100 g of water at a given temperature. • In general, a compound becomes more soluble as the temperature increases.

14. Saturated Solutions • A solution containing exactly the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature is a saturated solution. • A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute is an unsaturated solution. • Under certain conditions, it is possible to exceed the maximum solubility of a compound. A solution with greater than the maximum amount of solute is a supersaturated solution.

15. Supersaturated Solutions • At 55C, the solubility of NaC2H3O2 is 100 g per 100 g water. • If a saturated solution at 55C is cooled to 20C, the solution is supersaturated. • Supersaturated solutions are unstable. The excess solute can readily be precipitated.

16. Supersaturation • A single crystal of sodium acetate added to a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate in water causes the excess solute to rapidly crystallize from the solution.

17. Concentration of Solutions • The concentration of a solution tells us how much solute is dissolved in a given quantity of solution. • We often hear imprecise terms such as a “dilute solution” or a “concentrated solution”. • There are two precise ways to express the concentration of a solution: • mass/mass percent • molarity

18. mass of solute g solute × 100% = m/m % mass of solution × 100% = m/m % g solute + g solvent Mass Percent Concentration • Mass percent concentration compares the mass of solute to the mass of solvent. • The mass/mass percent (m/m %) concentration is the mass of solute dissolved in 100 g of solution.

19. 5.50 g NaCl × 100% = m/m % 5.00 g NaCl + 97.0 g H2O 5.00 g NaCl × 100% = 4.90 % 102 g solution Calculating Mass/Mass Percent • A student prepares a solution from 5.00 g NaCl dissolved in 97.0 g of water. What is the concentration in m/m %?

21. 100 g solution 25.0 g sucrose × = 500 g solution 5.00 g sucrose Mass Percent Calculation • What mass of a 5.00 m/m% solution of sucrose contains 25.0 grams of sucrose? • We want grams solution, we have grams sucrose.

22. moles of solute = M liters of solution Molar Concentration • The molar concentration, or molarity (M), is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, is expressed as moles/liter. • Molarity is the most commonly used unit of concentration.

23. 1 mol NaOH 18.0 g NaOH × = 4.50 M NaOH 40.00 g NaOH 0.100 L solution Calculating Molarity • What is the molarity of a solution containing 18.0 g of NaOH in 0.100 L of solution? • We also need to convert grams NaOH to moles NaOH (MM = 40.00 g/mol).

24. 1 L solution 4.50 mol NaOH 1 L solution 4.50 mol NaOH 1000 mL solution 4.50 mol NaOH 1000 mL solution 4.50 mol NaOH Molarity Unit Factors • We can write several unit factors based on the concentration 4.50 M NaOH:

25. 0.100 mol K2Cr2O7 294.2 g K2Cr2O7 × 250.0 mL solution × 1000 mL solution 1 mol K2Cr2O7 Molar Concentration Problem • How many grams of K2Cr2O7 are in 250.0 mL of 0.100 M K2Cr2O7? • We want mass K2Cr2O7, we have mL solution. = 7.36 g K2Cr2O7

26. 1 mol HCl 1000 mL solution 7.30 g HCl × × 36.46 g HCl 12.0 mol HCl Molar Concentration Problem • What volume of 12.0 M HCl contains 7.30 g of HCl solute (MM = 36.46 g/mol)? • We want volume, we have grams HCl. = 16.7 mL solution

27. Dilution of a Solution • Rather than prepare a solution by dissolving a solid in water, we can prepare a solution by diluting a more concentrated solution. • When performing a dilution, the amount of solute does not change, only the amount of solvent. • The equation we use is: M1 × V1 = M2 × V2 • M1 and V1 are the initial molarity and volume and M2 and V2 are the new molarity and volume

28. (0.10 M) × (5.00 L) V1 = = 0.083 L 6.0 M Dilution Problem • What volume of 6.0 M NaOH needs to be diluted to prepare 5.00 L if 0.10 M NaOH? • We want final volume and we have our final volume and concentration. M1 × V1 = M2 × V2 (6.0 M) × V1 = (0.10 M) × (5.00 L)

29. balanced equation solution concentration molar mass Solution Stoichiometry • In Chapter 10, we performed mole calculations involving chemical equations, stoichiometry problems. • We can also apply stoichiometry calculations to solutions. molarity known  moles known  moles unknown  mass unknown
