    Study Notes

    Solutions

    • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, consisting of a solute and a solvent.
    • Solutes can be gases, liquids, or solids, and are present in a smaller amount than solvents.
    • Solvents are usually found in larger amounts and are the medium in which solutes are dissolved.

    Dissolving and Solubility

    • Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature.
    • Saturated solutions contain dissolved solute at equilibrium; unsaturated solutions allow more solute to dissolve; supersaturated solutions contain more solute than can normally dissolve.
    • "Like dissolves like" principle: polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

    Intermolecular Forces and Solubility

    • Ionic compounds differ in solubility based on hydration energy and lattice energy.
    • Stronger lattice energy typically results in lower solubility, while hydration energy helps dissolve ions by attracting water molecules.
    • Example: NaCl is more soluble in water compared to Ca3(PO4)2.

    Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Solubility

    • Solubility of solids in liquids generally increases with temperature, while gas solubility pressure is inversely related to temperature.
    • Henry's Law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure.

    Colligative Properties

    • Colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles rather than their identity.
    • Common ways to express concentrations include molarity, molality, mass percentage, and mole fraction.

    Molarity and Molality

    • Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution.
    • Molality (m) = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent, differing from molarity mainly due to its dependency on solvent mass rather than volume.

    Vapor Pressure of Solutions

    • The vapor pressure of a solvent above a solution is lower than that of the pure solvent due to solute particle interference.

    Chemical Equilibrium

    • Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, not necessarily the concentrations of reactants and products.
    • The equilibrium constant (Kc) relates concentrations of products and reactants, following the law of mass action.

    Dynamic Equilibrium

    • In dynamic equilibrium, both forward and reverse reactions continue at equal rates, and Kc can be calculated from reaction concentrations.

    Equilibrium Constants and Partial Pressures

    • For gas reactions, Kp relates to Kc using the equation Kp = Kc(RT)Δn, considering the number of gaseous moles on either side of the reaction.

    Le Chatelier's Principle

    • A change in concentration, pressure, or temperature will shift equilibrium to counteract the change, either favoring reactants or products.

    Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations

    • An ICE table helps track initial concentrations, changes, and equilibrium concentrations to solve equilibrium constant expressions effectively.

    Change of Reaction Conditions

    • Adjustments in concentration or pressure can lead to shifts in equilibrium position, impacting product and reactant concentrations based on Le Chatelier's principle.### Effect of Pressure Change
    • Decreasing container volume increases gas concentration and total pressure.
    • Le Chatelier's principle states equilibrium will shift to counteract pressure increases.
    • If pressure is increased by volume decrease, equilibrium shifts to the side with fewer gas molecules.

    Chemical Equilibrium Shift

    • Consider the reaction: CO(g) + 3H(g) ↔ CH4(g) + H2O(g).
    • At equilibrium, after compression, equilibrium shifts to the right, favoring product formation.

    Temperature Effects on Reactions

    • Endothermic reactions absorb heat. Heat is treated as a reactant.
    • Raising temperature in endothermic reactions shifts equilibrium to products; equilibrium constant increases.

    • Raising temperature in exothermic reactions shifts equilibrium to reactants; equilibrium constant decreases.
    • Lowering temperature in exothermic reactions shifts equilibrium to products; equilibrium constant increases.

    Enthalpy (H)

    • Enthalpy involves heat exchange at constant pressure.
    • Defined as H = U + PV; positivity indicates endothermic reactions and negativity indicates exothermic reactions.

    Spontaneity of Reactions

    • Spontaneity assessed by comparing potential energy before and after the reaction.
    • Spontaneous processes are typically irreversible with energy release.
    • Reversible processes oscillate with no net change in free energy.

    Henry’s Law

    • Predicts gas solubility in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure.
    • Equation: C_gas = k_H * P_gas, where k_H is Henry’s law constant.

    Colligative Properties

    • Depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity.
    • Concentration can be expressed using various methods including molarity, mass percentage of solute, molality, and mole fraction.

    Vapor Pressure of Solutions

    • Vapor pressure of a solvent in solution is lower than that of the pure solvent.
    • Solute particles displace some solvent molecules at the surface, reducing vapor pressure.

    Arrow Conventions in Chemical Reactions

    • Single arrow indicates complete conversion of reactants to products.
    • Double arrow signifies a reaction that reaches equilibrium, with both reactants and products present.

    Reaction Dynamics

    • In a reaction, reactants are consumed while products are formed, leading to changing concentrations.
    • Processes that can proceed forward and backward are termed reversible reactions, denoted as Reactants ⇌ Products.

    Example of Reversible Reactions

    • Catalytic methanation: CO(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ CH4(g) + H2O(g)
    • Steam reforming is the reverse: CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 3H2(g)
    • The favorability of products versus reactants depends on the specific conditions of the reaction.
