Solutions I. The Nature of Solutions
A. Definitions • Solution - homogeneous mixture • Soluble – the ability to be dissolved Solute - substance being dissolved Solvent - present in greater amount
B. Solvation • Solvation – the process of dissolving solute particles are surrounded by solvent particles First... solute particles are separated and pulled into solution Then...
Label the solute & solvent in each of the following: (a) 14-karat gold - solute: Ag, solvent: Au (b) Water vapor in air - solute: H2O, solvent: air mixture (c) Carbonated water - solute: CO2 , solvent: water (d) Hot tea - solute: tea bag, solvent: water
In addition to solutions, there are also suspensions and colloids.
In summary: • Asolutionis always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. The solution is homogeneous and does not settle out. A solution cannot be filtered but can be separated using the process of distillation.
A suspension is cloudy and heterogeneous. The particles are larger than 10,000 Angstroms which allows them to be filtered. If a suspension is allowed to stand the particles will separate out.
A colloid is intermediate between a solution and a suspension. While a suspension will separate out a colloid will not. Colloids can be distinguished from solutions using the Tyndall effect. Light passing through a colloidal dispersion, such as smoky or foggy air, will be reflected by the larger particles and the light beam will be visible.
The Solution Process There are 3 factors that can affect the rate of dissolution: • Increasing the surface area of the solute • Agitating a solution • Heating a solvent
Solution Equilibrium is the physical state in which the dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates. • This point is difficult to predict precisely because it depends on: • Nature of solute • Nature of solvent • The temperature
C. Solubility • Solubility • maximum grams of solute that will dissolve in 100 g of solvent at a given temperature • varies with temp • based on a saturated solution
UNSATURATED SOLUTION more solute dissolves SATURATED SOLUTION no more solute dissolves SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION becomes unstable, crystals form C. Solubility concentration
C. Solubility • Solubility Curve • shows the dependence of solubility on temperature
NONPOLAR NONPOLAR POLAR POLAR B. Solvation “Like Dissolves Like”
B. Solvation • Soap/Detergent • polar “head” with long nonpolar “tail” • dissolves nonpolar grease in polar water
Why are ionic compounds generally not soluble in nonpolar solvents? • The nonpolar solvent molecules do NOT attract the ions of the crystal strongly enough. • The strong ionic bond CANNOT be broken!
Immiscible vs. Miscible LIquids • Immiscible – liquid solutes & solvents that are NOT soluble in each other (oil & water) • Miscible – liquids that dissolve freely in one another
Effect of pressure & temperature on solubility • Changes in pressure have very little effect in liquid & solid solubility BUT – increases in pressure increase gas solubilities of liquids !!! WHY? - Remember gases are made up of mostly empty space, meaning that they can be compressed - The solute, then, can literally be “compressed” into the solvent.
HENRY’S LAW • The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid • Examples: • The “bends” • Soda – EFFERVESCENCE
C. Solubility • Solids are more soluble at... • high temperatures. • Gases are more soluble at... • low temperatures & • high pressures (Henry’s Law).
Formations of solutions are accompanied by energy changes. • The formation of a solid-liquid solution can either absorb heat (ENDOTHERMIC) or release heat (EXOTHERMIC). • The heat of solution is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent.

Solutions II. Concentration
Concentration • The amount of solute in a solution. • Describing Concentration • % by mass - medicated creams • % by volume - rubbing alcohol • ppm, ppb - water contaminants • molarity - used by chemists • molality - used by chemists
Percent Concentration • Percent by mass and volume is a ratio of the solute amount to the solution amount, expressed as a percent.
mass of solvent only 1 kg water = 1 L water Molality
substance being dissolved total combined volume Molarity • Concentration of a solution.
Molarity 2M HCl What does this mean?
500 mL of 1.54M NaCl 500 mLwater 500 mL volumetric flask 500 mL mark 45.0 gNaCl Preparing Solutions • 1.54m NaCl in 0.500 kg of water • mass 45.0 g of NaCl • add water until total volume is 500 mL • mass 45.0 g of NaCl • add 0.500 kg of water
Dilution • Preparation of a desired solution by adding water to a concentrate. • Moles of solute remain the same.
Solutions III. Colligative Properties
A. Definition • Colligative Property • property that depends on the concentration of solute particles, not their identity
Why is vapor pressure affected? • Vapor pressure is the tendency for molecules to escape from a liquid. • If a NON-VOLATILE solute is added, it will lower the tendency of solution to change into a gas.
B. Types • Freezing Point Depression (tf) • f.p. of a solution is lower than f.p. of the pure solvent • Boiling Point Elevation (tb) • b.p. of a solution is higher than b.p. of the pure solvent
B. Types Freezing Point Depression
B. Types Boiling Point Elevation Solute particles weaken IMF in the solvent.
B. Types • Applications • salting icy roads • antifreeze • cars (-64°C to 136°C) • fish & insects
Solutes are classified according to if they yield IONS or MOLECULES in solution. • Electrolyte: a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electrical current • Formed from any soluble IONIC compound • Nonelectrolyte: a substance that creates a solution that does NOT conduct electricity
- + - - + + acetic acid salt sugar B. Solvation Non- Electrolyte Weak Electrolyte Strong Electrolyte solute exists as ions and molecules solute exists as ions only solute exists as molecules only DISSOCIATION IONIZATION
DISSOCIATION – the separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves
C. Calculations t: change in temperature (°C) k: constant based on the solvent (°C·kg/mol) m: molality (m) n: # of particles t = k · m · n
C. Calculations • # of Particles • Nonelectrolytes (covalent) • remain intact when dissolved • 1 particle • Electrolytes (ionic) • dissociate into ions when dissolved • 2 or more particles
