Advanced Chemistry Notes Solution Notes
Solutions Solutions – homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances • Made up of: • Solvent – substance that does the dissolving • Solute – substance being dissolved • Examples of Solutions • Kool-Aide: water – solvent, sugar – solute • Pop: water – solvent, carbon dioxide – solute
Solutions Types of Solutions • Liquid – Solid solution • Ex: salt water • Liquid – Liquid solution • Ex: hydrochloric acid and water • Miscible – when two liquids mix • Immiscible – when two liquids will not mix • Liquid – Gas solution • Ex: oxygen and water
Solutions Other types of Solutions • Solid – Solid solutions • Brass alloys • Solid - Liquid solutions • Gold dissolves Mercury • Solid – gas solutions • Palladium dissolves hydrogen • Gas – Gas solution • air: O2, N2, Ar
Creating Solutions The dissolving process consists of three steps • Dissociation • Solvation • Diffusion
The Dissolving Process The Dissolving Process(Ex: sugar and water) 1. Dissociation • Attractive forces between solute molecules must be overcome. • Water pulls sugar apart molecule by molecule
The Dissolving Process 2. Solvation • Positive ends of solvent molecule attach to negative ends of solute molecule and vise versa. • Water molecules surround and interact with sugar molecules. • Water molecules remove sugar molecules from the crystal • Dispersion and dipole forces are at work here
The Dissolving Process • When the solvent is water the solvation process is called hydration.
The Dissolving Process 3. Diffusion • Random molecular movement spreads solute through out the solution • Sugar molecules are evenly dispersed throughout the water
Factors Influencing Dissolving • Factors that influence that rate at which a substance dissolves • Temperature • Stirring • Large surface area of solute exposed to solvent • How does this relate to putting sugar in your coffee?
Solvent Selectivity What will and will not dissolve? • G R of T Like dissolves Like • Polar substances dissolves other polar substances • Polar – ionic and polar covalently bonded compounds have dipoles • H2O and HCl
Solvent Selectivity • Non-polar substances dissolve other non-polar substances • Non-polar compounds lack dipoles • CO2 and N2 • Oil and Soap • Exceptions to the rule • Chalk (CaCO3) does not dissolve in water –Why? Both are polar. • Water has to be able to overcome chalks (CaCO3) intermolecular attractive forces to dissolve it – it can’t • Chalk (CaCO3) is to tightly bonded intermolecularly
Solubility • How much solute can a substance hold? • Unsaturated solution – the solvent could dissolve more solute under standard conditions
Solubility • Saturated solution – when solvent can hold no more solute at a given temperature. • When solution is saturated some of the solute remains at the bottom of the glass. Dissolving and precipitating occur at equal rates. This is called Dynamic Equilibrium. • H2O(l) + NaCl(s) == Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Solubility • Supersaturated – solution holds more solute than it would at standard conditions
Solubility Temperature and Solubility • When temperature is increased solubility also increases • Consider the endothermic reaction below (solid dissolved in liquid) KClO3(s) + H2O(l) + heat == K+(aq) + ClO3-(aq) • Heat acts as a reactant (needs heat to dissolve) • Adding heat increases solubility makes more solution
Solubility Temperature and Solubility • When temperature is increased solubility decreases • Consider the exothermic reaction below (liquid dissolves a gas) CO2(g) + H2O(l) == Heat + CO2(aq) • Heat acts as a product (gives off heat) • Adding heat decreases solubility • What holds more carbonation – warm or cold pop?
Solubility Pressure and Solubility • Effects of pressure on the solubility of liquids and solids are minimal. • Effects of pressure on the solubility of gases are drastic. • Henry’s Law – the solubility of gases increases with the partial pressure of gases above the solution. • EX: Pop – when you open a can of pop the result is the carbon dioxide escaping from the solution because the partial pressure of the gases above the pop decreases.
