Solution • A solution is a homogeneous mixture • that has the same composition, color, density and taste throughout. • ie. they appear as ONE substance Examples: • tap water • Vinegar
Solution Cont… • Solutions can also be gaseous, like the air you breathe, or even solid, like brass and sterling silver.
Making solutions: solutes and solvents • When you mix two substances and they form a solution, you say that one substance dissolves in the other substance.
Solutions have 2 parts: Solute • The substance that dissolves (found in less amounts) Solvent • The substance in which the solute dissolves (found in the greatest amounts)
Dissolving... • To mix completely: • the solute dissolves into the solvent.
There are three ways to speed up the dissolving process • 1. Stirring • 2. Increase surface area • 3. Increase temperature
There are three ways to speed up the dissolving process • Stirring –brings more solvent in contact with solute. • Example: fruit drink with drink crystals. • Stir the mixture to increase the rate of dissolving.
Demo • Lets see if stirring will increase the dissolving rate of the solute.
There are three ways to speed up the dissolving process • Increase surface area –breaking up a solid making it into a powder, provides more surface area.
Demo • Lets see if increasing the surface area will increase the dissolving rate of the solute.
There are three ways to speed up the dissolving process • Increase temperature- Increasing temperature speeds up particles causing them to bump each other and come in contact with the solvent.
Different states of solutes and solvents • Solvents can be either: • Solid, Liquid, Gas • Solutes can be either: • Solid, Liquid, Gas
Soluble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khgOTDvG-4A • If the particles of the solute are more attracted to the particles of the solvent. • Dissolving occurs. • The solute is said to be soluble in that solvent. (ie. Solution)
Insoluble • If the particles of the solute are more attracted to their own particles than the solvent particles. • Dissolving does NOT occur. • The solute is said to be insoluble in that solvent. (ie. Mechanical)
Soluble or Insoluble? soluble insoluble
Concentration and solubility • Compare the two cups of tea… • Concentrated solution • Darker tea • Large mass of dissolved solute for a certain quantity of solvent. • Dilute solution • Lighter tea • Small mass of dissolved solute for a certain quantity of solvent
Concentration is… • The percentage by volume of solute in solvent. • Concentrated- large amount of solute in solvent. • Dilute- small amount of solute in solvent.
A limit to concentration Notice the lump of undissolved solid that is left on the spoon • Make a salt solution: • Add a spoonful… dissolved! • Add a second spoonful… dissolved! • Add a third, fourth and more… It becomes more concentrated! • Eventually you reach a point where salt will NOT dissolve any more.
Saturated vs. Unsaturated Saturated • Will form when no more solute will dissolve at a certain temperature Unsaturated • More solute is able to dissolve at a certain temperature
Which is dilute and which is more concentrated for each example? • Example 1: • Orange juice from concentrate: ___________ • Weak Kool-Aid: ____________________ • Example 2: • A solution with a concentration: 20g/100mL _______ • A solution with a concentration: 25g/25mL_________ • Example 3: • A solution with a concentration: 20/80mL__________ • A solution with a concentration: 20/100mL ________
Time to think… • Concentrated solutions can be: • Adding more solute and keeping the amount of solvent the same. • Keeping the amount of solute the same and reducing the amount of solvent. • Example • boiling off the water while making jam • a solution could be considered “concentrated” and still be unsaturated.
