    Study Notes

    Characteristics of Solutions

    • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
    • Each substance in a solution retains its own chemical identity.
    • Components of a solution include:
      • Solvent: The component present in the greatest amount.
      • Solute: The component present in a lesser amount. The substance being dissolved in the solution.

    Solubility

    • Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent under a given set of conditions.
    • Temperature affects solubility:
      • Most solids become more soluble in water with increasing temperature.
      • Gas solubility in water decreases with increasing temperature.
    • Pressure affects solubility:
      • Pressure has little effect on the solubility of solids and liquids
      • Pressure has a major effect on the solubility of gases
    • Henry's Law: The amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. As gas pressure increases, solubility increases

    Types of Solutions

    • Unsaturated solutions: Contain less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve under the existing conditions.
    • Saturated solutions: Contain the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve under the existing conditions.
    • Supersaturated solutions: Contain more dissolved solute than is present in a saturated solution under the existing conditions. These are unstable.

    Concentration Units

    • Percent concentration of a solution
      • Percentage by mass (m/m): (mass of solute/mass of solution) *100%
      • Percentage by volume (v/v): (volume of solute/volume of solution) *100%
      • Percentage by mass/volume (m/v): (mass of solute/volume of solution) *100%
    • Molarity: Moles of solute per liter of solution (M).
    • Molality: Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (m)

    Dilution

    • Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent.
    • C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ (Molarity equation for dilution)

    Osmosis

    • Osmosis is the movement of solvent (usually water) from a region of high solvent concentration to a region of low solvent concentration across a semipermeable membrane until equilibrium is reached.

    • A semipermeable membrane allows certain types of molecules to pass through it but prevents the passage of other types of molecules.

    • Osmotic Pressure: The pressure that must be applied to prevent the net flow of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a solution of lower solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration.

    Osmolarity

    • Osmolarity: is the product of a solution's molarity and the number of particles produced per formula unit. A measure of the total concentration of solute particles in a solution. This concentration is proportional to the osmotic pressure. (Osmolarity= Molarity X i, where i is the number of particles produced for each solute molecule).

    Tonicity

    • Tonicity refers to the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water.

      • Hypotonic solution: A solution with a lower concentration of solutes than inside the cell results in the cell gaining water.
      • Hypertonic solution: A solution with a higher concentration of solutes than inside the cell resulting in the cell losing water.
      • Isotonic solution: A solution with an equal concentration of solutes as inside the cell. Results in no net flow of water.
