Chapter 20 The Dissolving Process Part 1
Solutions • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
Solutes and Solvents • “solute” is what is being dissolved. • “solvent” is what it is dissolved in. • If we make tea and mix sugar into it. The sugar and tea are the solutes. Water is the solvent. The sweet tea is the solution.
Solvation • Solvation is the process of solvent particles attaching with particles of a solute. As solute dissolves in a solvent the solute particles spread out and become surrounded by solvent particles. • If water is the solvent we call this process hydration.
Water • The universal solvent.
Air • Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases. • Air is a solution of gases.
What is the solvent in air? • The solvent is the major component in a solution. • All lesser components are solutes.
Dissociation is a process in which ionic compounds separate or split into ions.
Miscibility • Liquids that are soluble in each other in all proportions are miscible. • Liquids can also be partially miscible or immiscible.
Like Dissolves Like • like dissolves like" is an expression used by chemists to remember how some solvents work. • It refers to "polar" and "nonpolar" solvents and solutes.
Water – CookingOil – Food Coloring. • Water is Polar. • What are the polarities of cooking oil and food coloring? CookingOil is nonpolar. Food Coloringis polar.
Crescent or sickle-shaped red blood cells (RBCs) are present with Sickle cell anemia, and stand out clearly against the normal round RBCs.
Some solute-solvent combinations are: example (solute state-solvent state) • oxygen in nitrogen (gas-gas) = air • carbon dioxide in water (gas-liquid) = soda pop • water vapor in air (liquid-gas) = humidity • alcohol in water (liquid-liquid) = liquor • mercury in silver (liquid-solid) = dental amalgam • sugar in water (solid-liquid) = kool-aid • tin in copper (solid-solid) = bronze alloy • How many other combinations are possible?
