Solutions Chapter 13
Solution Process • Solution – homogeneous mixture of solute and solvent • Can be gases, liquids, or solids • Solvent is component present in the largest amount (rest are solutes) • Intermolecular forces are rearranged with solutions of condensed phases. • Ex. NaCl in Water – Water molecules orient themselves on NaCl; H-bonds between waters have to be broken; NaCl dissociates; ion-dipole forces form; interaction is called solvation or hydration
Energy Changes • Three steps involving energy in the formation of a solution • Separation of solute molecules (∆H1) • Separation of solvent molecules (∆H2) • Formation of solute-solvent interactions (∆H3) • Enthalpy change in the solution process • ∆Hsoln = ∆H1 + ∆H2 + ∆H3 • ∆Hsoln can be + or – • Breaking attractive intermolecular forces is always endothermic (+) • Forming attractive intermolecular forces is always exothermic (-)
Energy Changes and Solution Formation • In general, solutions form if ∆Hsoln is negative. • If ∆Hsoln is too endothermic a solution will not form. • “Rule of Thumb” – Like dissolves Like • Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes • Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes • Ex. NaCl in gasoline: Only weak interactions are possible because gasoline is nonpolar; interactions do not compensate for separation of ions; NaCl does not dissolve to any great extent in gasoline.
Solution Formation:Spontaneity and Disorder • Spontaneous process occurs without outside intervention • Energy of system decreases – spontaneous • Tend to be exothermic • Some are endothermic • Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorder of a system. • Solution formation is favored by the increase in entropy that accompanies solution formation (most cases) • A solution can spontaneously mix when Esoln is not significantly decreasing when entropy is increasing.
Solution Formation:Chemical vs. Physical • Solutions can be created physically or chemically. • Ni(s) + 2HCl(aq) NiCl2(aq) + H2(g) • Chemical form has changed (Ni NiCl2) • When water is removed, no Ni is found (only NiCl2 remains) • NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • When water is removed from the solution, NaCl is found.
Solubility • Dissolution – formation of a solution • Crystallization – “destruction” of a solution • If these processes are in equilibrium, the solution is saturated. • Solubility is the amount of solute required to form a saturated solution. • Unsaturated • Supersaturated
Factors affecting Solubility • Nature of the solute and solvent • Intermolecular forces – favorable? • Miscible vs. immiscible • Temperature • Generally, as temperature increases, solubility increases. • Sometimes not the cases – gases are less soluble at higher temperatures • Pressure • Solubility of a Gas is a function of the pressure of the gas over the solution. • Increase pressure, increase solubility • Henry’s Law – Sg = kPg
Concentration • Amount of solute per amount of solvent • Qualitative – dilute vs. concentrated • Quantitative – • Mass percentage • Mole fraction • Molarity • Molality
Colligative Properties • Colligative properties depend on quantity of solute molecules. • (E.g. freezing point depression and melting point elevation.) • Lowering Vapor Pressure • Non-volatile solutes reduce the ability of the surface solvent molecules to escape the liquid. • Therefore, vapor pressure is lowered. • The amount of vapor pressure lowering depends on the amount of solute.
Colligative Properties • Lowering Vapor Pressure • Raoult’s Law: PA is the vapor pressure with solute, PA is the vapor pressure without solute, and A is the mole fraction of A, then • Recall Dalton’s Law:
Colligative Properties • Lowering Vapor Pressure • Ideal solution: one that obeys Raoult’s law. • Raoult’s law breaks down when the solvent-solvent and solute-solute intermolecular forces are greater than solute-solvent intermolecular forces. • Boiling-Point Elevation • Goal: interpret the phase diagram for a solution. • Non-volatile solute lowers the vapor pressure. • Therefore the triple point - critical point curve is lowered
Colligative Properties: Boiling-Point Elevation • At 1 atm (normal boiling point of pure liquid) there is a lower vapor pressure of the solution. Therefore, a higher temperature is required to teach a vapor pressure of 1 atm for the solution (Tb). • Molal boiling-point-elevation constant, Kb, expresses how much Tb changes with molality, m:
Colligative Properties:Freezing Point Depression • At 1 atm (normal boiling point of pure liquid) there is no depression by definition • When a solution freezes, almost pure solvent is formed first. • Therefore, the sublimation curve for the pure solvent is the same as for the solution. • Therefore, the triple point occurs at a lower temperature because of the lower vapor pressure for the solution.
Colligative Properties:Freezing Point Depression • The melting-point (freezing-point) curve is a vertical line from the triple point. • The solution freezes at a lower temperature (Tf) than the pure solvent. • Decrease in freezing point (Tf) is directly proportional to molality (Kfis the molal freezing-point-depression constant):
Osmosis • Semipermeable membrane: permits passage of some components of a solution. • Example: cell membranes and cellophane. • Osmosis: the movement of a solvent from low solute concentration to high solute concentration. • There is movement in both directions across a semipermeable membrane. • As solvent moves across the membrane, the fluid levels in the arms becomes uneven.
Osmosis • Eventually the pressure difference between the arms stops osmosis.
Osmosis • Osmotic pressure, , is the pressure required to stop osmosis: • Isotonic solutions: two solutions with the same separated by a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis • Hypotonic solutions have a lower than a more concentrated solution. • Hypertonic solutions have a higher than a more dilute solution. • Osmosis is spontaneous.
Ex. Red blood cells are surrounded by semipermeable membranes. • Crenation: • red blood cells placed in hypertonic solution (relative to intracellular solution); • there is a lower solute concentration in the cell than the surrounding tissue; • osmosis occurs and water passes through the membrane out of the cell. • The cell shrivels up.

Ex. Red blood cells are surrounded by semipermeable membranes. • Hemolysis: • red blood cells placed in a hypotonic solution; • there is a higher solute concentration in the cell; • osmosis occurs and water moves into the cell. • The cell bursts. • To prevent crenation or hemolysis, IV (intravenous) solutions must be isotonic.
Colloids • Colloids are suspensions in which the suspended particles are larger than molecules but too small to drop out of the suspension due to gravity. • Particle size: 10 to 2000 Å. • Tyndall effect: ability of a Colloid to scatter light. The beam of light can be seen through the colloid.
Types of Colloids • aerosol (gas + liquid or solid, e.g. fog and smoke), • foam (liquid + gas, e.g. whipped cream), • emulsion (liquid + liquid, e.g. milk), • sol (liquid + solid, e.g. paint), • solid foam (solid + gas, e.g. marshmallow), • solid emulsion (solid + liquid, e.g. butter), • solid sol (solid + solid, e.g. ruby glass).
Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Colloids • Focus on colloids in water. • “Water loving” colloids: hydrophilic. • “Water hating” colloids: hydrophobic. • Molecules arrange themselves so that hydrophobic portions are oriented towards each other.
Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Colloids • Typical hydrophilic groups are polar (containing C-O, O-H, N-H bonds) or charged. • Hydrophobic colloids need to be stabilized in water. • Adsorption: when something sticks to a surface we say that it is adsorbed. • If ions are adsorbed onto the surface of a colloid, the colloids appears hydrophilic and is stabilized in water.
Removal of Colloid Particles • Colloid particles are too small to be separated by physical means (e.g. filtration). • Colloid particles are coagulated (enlarged) until they can be removed by filtration. • Methods of coagulation: • heating (colloid particles move and are attracted to each other when they collide); • adding an electrolyte (neutralize the surface charges on the colloid particles).
Dialysis: Removal of Colloids • Semipermeable membrane is used to separate ions from colloidal particles. • Blood passes through a membrane immersed in a washing solution. • Washing solution is isotonic with ions that must be retained. • Washing solution does not contain waste products. • Washing solution removes (dialyzes) wastes and the “good” ions remain.
