Chapter 15.2Homogeneous Aqueous Systems Chapter 15.3Heterogeneous Aqueous Systems
Learning Objectives • Understand the “s” words and how they are different from each other (solution, solvent, solute) • Understand the process of solvation of ions • “Like dissolves like” and the difference between polar and non-polar molecules when it comes to solvation. • Electrolyte versus non-electrolyte • Solutions vs. colloids vs. suspensions
Solution (aq) – water that contains dissolved substancesSolvent – The dissolving medium of the solution (water in this chapter)Solute – The solid that gets dissolvedSolvent plus solute = solution
When a substance becomes solvated by water, we say it is soluble in water • Chemists use the axiom “like dissolves like”: • Polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents. • Nonpolar substances tend to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Mixing nonpolar molecule with water Molecular dynamics of drug binding to target
All ionic compounds are electrolytes because they break apart into ions when added to water
The next part of the textbook is about hydrates … we will skip for the upcoming TWIZ We did do a lab where we heated a hydrate CuSO4 . 5H2O and determined how much water was released in moles.
The JELL-O mystery … what the heck is it? It is a type of homogeneous aqueous system known as a colloid. JELL-O is a kind of strange substance which is a colloid. JELL-Ois made from water with flavorings, sweetener, and gelatin mixed in. Gelatin is made from a protein called collagen which is the main protein in cartilage, the flexible material that forms your outer ear and nose. When JELL-Ois added to hot water, the long collagen molecules separate from each other and mix throughout the water. But when this mixture is cooled, the collagen molecules link up with each other in a different way, forming a 3-dimensional network. Water molecules get trapped in the network and help give JELL-Oits more wiggly characteristics. (adapted from ACS website) More info about colloids
Tyndall Effect • Colloidal suspensions can scatter rays of light • This phenomenon is known as the Tyndall effect
