dissolving solvent solute solution saturated solubility
A solution • A solution is a mixture of a solvent and a solute. • The liquid is the solvent. • The solid, liquid or gas dissolved in that liquid is the solute. solute solvent
Concentration concentrated dilute - small amount of solute in the solvent - large amount of solute in the same amount of solvent
Concentration saturated - large amount of solute in the same amount of solvent, with some solute unable to dissolve
Because of the properties of the individual atoms there is an uneven distribution of the electrons within the molecule, they tend to cluster towards the oxygen atom δ - The molecule is POLAR δ + δ + A water molecule, H2O
The polar water molecules cluster around the solute, thereby allowing it to dissolve If the solute is a positive ion, eg Na+
The two things that decide the concentration of a solution are: • The number of particles of solute • The amount of solvent it is dissolved in. • Numbers of particles are measured in moles. • Amounts of solution are measured by the volume used.
Volumes • Concentrations are measured per litre of solvent. • One litre of a solvent is 1000cm3. • Another unit for a litre is dm3 (‘decimetre cubed’.) A decimetre is 10cm. 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm = 1000cm3 10 cm 10 cm 10 cm
Volumes • Concentrations are measured per litre of solvent. • One litre of a solvent is 1000cm3. • Another unit for a litre is dm3 (‘decimetre cubed’.) When working out a concentration you must always convert the volume into dm3. e.g. 200 cm3 = 200 = 0.2dm3 1000
Concentration Concentration = number of moles ÷ volume c n v n c v x • Concentrations are measured in moles per decimetre cubed (mol/dm3.) • Moles per decimetre cubed (mol/dm3.) is sometimes written as M.
Questions What is the concentration of: 58.5g NaCl in 2000cm3 water? 5.85g NaCl in 2000cm3 water? 5.85g NaCl in 500cm3 water? 34g NH3 in 200cm3 water? Atomic masses Na = 23 Cl = 35,5 N = 14 H = 1 • Answers • 0.5M (1 mole ÷ 2 dm3) • 0.05M (0.1 mole ÷ 2 dm3) • 0.2M (0.1 mole ÷ 0.5 dm3) • 10M (2 mole ÷ 0.2 dm3)
How much have I used? Imagine this represents one dm3 of a 2M solution (2 moles in 1000cm3 of water.).
In a reaction I only need to use 250cm3 of this. How many moles is that?
I have used 250/1000 cm3 of the solution. • This is ¼ of the total. • I would expect to get ¼ of the number of particles of solute in that. • There were 2 moles in the original 1000cm3. • ¼ of 2 moles = 0.5 moles.
How much have I used? Moles used = volume used in cm3 x concentration 1000 • Questions • HCl is hydrochloric acid. • How many moles of HCl are in: • 200 cm3 of 1M HCl? • 250 cm3 of 4M HCl? • 600 cm3 of 2M HCl? • 400 cm3 of 0.5M HCl? • 2500cm3 of 0.1M HCl?
