Solubility • The extent to which a substance is soluble in a solvent. • Examples (solubility in water at 25°C): • Cholesterol 0.002 mg/mL • Caffeine 22 mg/mL • Citric acid 620 mg/mL WWU -- Chemistry
Solubility -- Definitions • Solute: The substance that is being dissolved • Solvent: The medium in which the solute is being dissolved. • NOTE: In a solution, the solvent molecules greatly outnumber the solute molecules. WWU -- Chemistry
If a liquid organic compound is dissolved in a solvent… • Miscible: solute and solvent mix homogeneously in all proportions • Immiscible: solute and solvent do not mix; they form two separate liquid phases WWU -- Chemistry
Part A: Solubility in a Series of Solvents WWU -- Chemistry
Some hints on doing the solubility lab: • You can do the various parts of the experiment in • any order you wish! This eliminates lineups by the • Balances. Part A is especially time consuming! • Be sure to approximate the amounts of solids you • are using in Part A. You don’t need to be exact • on the weights. WWU -- Chemistry
You will study the solubility behavior of benzophenone, malonic acid, and biphenyl in: Water, methanol, hexane How does the polarity of the solute influence the solubility in each of these solvents? What factors are at play, here? WWU -- Chemistry
Make a guess as to the solubility of malonic acid in water. Notice that the acid has two very polar carboxyl groups in the compound. Would you expect this compound to be soluble in the non-polar hexane solvent? WWU -- Chemistry
How consider the solubility of biphenyl in water. Make a guess as to the whether it will be soluble in water. What about the solubility in hexane? WWU -- Chemistry
Solubility Rule “Like Dissolves Like” WWU -- Chemistry
Why Does The Rule Work? • If a substance is to dissolve in a solvent, the intermolecular attractions between solute molecules and solvent molecules must be similar in strength as the solute-solute and solvent-solvent intermolecular attractions. WWU -- Chemistry
Types of Intermolecular Attractions • Dipole-dipole attractions • Hydrogen-bonding • Van der Waal (London) forces WWU -- Chemistry
Solutes: Solvents Water Hexane Part B. Solubility of Different Alcohols WWU -- Chemistry
All three of these alcohols have a polar hydroxyl group. However, the rest of the molecule has a non-polar hydrocarbon chain. WWU -- Chemistry
How does the length of the carbon chain influence the solubility of the test alcohol in water? How does the length of the carbon chain influence the solubility of the test alcohol in hexane? What accounts for any differences? WWU -- Chemistry
Part C. Miscible or Immiscible Pairs • Here we examine pairs of compounds to determine whether or not they are miscible (soluble). • How do differences in polarity affect solubility? • How do intermolecular attractions influence the solubility of a solute in a particular solvent? WWU -- Chemistry
Part D. Solubility of Organic Acids and Bases • Solutes: WWU -- Chemistry
What is the important component in 1.0 M NaOH? What is the important component in 1.0 M HCl? What principle explains the solubility of a substance in aqueous acid or aqueous base? WWU -- Chemistry
Many covalent organic molecules are not very soluble in water even if they are somewhat polar! Benzoic acid is an example. When benzoic acid is reacted with sodium hydroxide, it is converted to an ionic substance (sodium salt), The ionic substance is now much more soluble in water! Ionic substances are very polar! WWU -- Chemistry
When benzoic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, what happens to the covalent molecule? WWU -- Chemistry
Benzoic acid is converted to an ionic compound! Ionic compounds are soluble in water! WWU -- Chemistry
Compounds with amino groups are basic. They will become ionic when reacted with an acid because the lone pair on the nitrogen atom becomes bonded to a proton which creates an ionic substance. WWU -- Chemistry
So, what would you expect for the behavior of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate in acid solution and basic solution? WWU -- Chemistry
Remember This… • Ionic compounds are usually very soluble in water. Consider Na+ Cl- • Higher molecular weight compounds with covalent bonds are usually insoluble in water • If the covalent compound can be converted to ions, it will dissolve in aqueous solution! WWU -- Chemistry

Experiment 3: Crystallization • Reading Assignment: • Experiment 3 (pp. 21-32) • Technique 6 (pp. 589-597) • Technique 7 (pp. 598-616) • Technique 8 (pp. 616-627) • Technique 9 (pp. 627-637) • Technique 11 (pp. 647-668) WWU -- Chemistry
Experiment 3 • Note that this is a two-day experiment • Plan on using your time as follows, or as your instructor suggests: • First day: Part A and part B • Second day: Part C WWU -- Chemistry
Experiment 3 • NOTE CAREFULLY: • Although the textbook does not say to submit your samples with your laboratory report, the laboratory report sheet does! • Be sure to submit your purified samples of sulfanilamide and fluorene in separate labeled vials. WWU -- Chemistry
Experiment 3 • If you do not obtain 150 mg of sulfanilamide crystals for Part A or 45 mg of crystals for Part B, expect to repeat the procedure until you get it right. • The key is to figure out how to get crystals to form using the minimum amount of solvent. WWU -- Chemistry
Experiment 3 • There is a pre-lab exercise that is due to your instructor before beginning this experiment. The 4th edition of the textbook doesn't have the data for sulfanilamide (although you could guesstimate from the graph on page 648, figure 11.2). Use the following data, instead: • 0 deg -- solubility 14 mg/mL • 20 deg -- solubility 24 mg/mL • 40 deg -- solubility 46 mg/mL • 60 deg -- solubility 88 mg/mL • 78 deg -- solubility 210 mg/mL WWU -- Chemistry
Consult your section’s syllabus for the due date for post-laboratory report. Remember to submit the samples with your laboratory report! WWU -- Chemistry

Saturated: The solution contains the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at that temperature. No more solute can be dissolved. Unsaturated: The solution contains less than the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at that temperature. More solute can be dissolved. Supersaturated: The solution contains more solute than the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at that temperature. A supersaturated solution is unstable; a precipitate (or crystals) is likely to form if the solution is disturbed. Solubility – Types of Solutions WWU -- Chemistry
Crystal Formation • A dissolved material will separate from the solution as it is cooled. • If the crystal growth is slow and selective, that is crystallization • If the crystal growth process is rapid and nonselective, that is precipitation. • In crystal growth, molecules arranged themselves into a highly specific structure called a crystal lattice. WWU -- Chemistry
Crystal Formation • A successful crystallization depends on a large difference between the solubility of a material in a hot solvent and its solubility in the same solvent when it is cold. • A material can be purified by crystallization when both the desired product and the impurity have similar solubilities, but only when the impurity represents a small fraction of the total solid. WWU -- Chemistry
Solubility versus Temperature WWU -- Chemistry
Solubility of Sulfanilamide in 95% ethanol-water WWU -- Chemistry
What Are The Characteristics of a Good Crystallization Solvent? • There should be a large difference in solubility between hot and cold solvent • The boiling point of the solvent should be well below the melting point of the solute. • The solvent must not react with the solute • The solvent should have a low boiling point (makes removal of the solvent easy) • The solvent should be non-toxic • The solvent should be innocuous • The solvent should not be expensive WWU -- Chemistry
