Solution- homogenous mixture that may be solid, liquid, or gas. • Composition of the solvent and solute determine whether the substance will dissolve. Hide the loot in the vent!
Solvation- the process of surrounding solute particles with solvent particles to form a solution • “Like dissolves like”
Think… • You drop a sugar cube into a glass of water. It sinks to the bottom. What are some things you can do to make the sugar dissolve faster?
Factors that affect the rate of solvation: • Stirring/Agitating- increases the rate of solubility. It does not affect the amount that will dissolve. • Temperature- higher temperatures have more kinetic energy, so they can dissolve particles much faster. • Particle Size- smaller sizes dissolve faster (ex: sugar cube vs. granulated sugar)
Solubility • Solubility- the amount of solute that dissolves in a quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure. • Saturated solution- contains the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent. • Unsaturated solution- contains less solute than a saturated solution. • Precipitate- insoluble solid that emerges from a solution • Miscible- two liquids dissolve each other in all proportions. • Immiscible- insoluble in one another.
Some Types of Solutions Examples?
Factors Affecting Solubility • Temperature and Pressure • Pressure only affects gases • Solubility increases as gas pressure increases (pop) • Solubility increases as temperature of solvent increases. • Saturated vs. Unsaturated • Supersaturated- contains more solute than it can theoretically hold.
Think back to solvation… What happens if there is no more room for water to hug the ions?
