Study Notes

Solutions

  • Homogeneous mixtures consisting of two or more substances in one phase.
  • Solutions can exist as solids, liquids, or gases.

Solubility Concepts

  • Soluble: Describes a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent.
  • Solvent: The medium that dissolves the solute, commonly water (e.g., water dissolving salt).
  • Solute: The substance that is dissolved in a solution.

Types of Solutions

  • Solid Solution: Mixtures of metals known as alloys (example: steel is an alloy of iron and carbon).
  • Liquid Solution: Examples include saltwater, sugar water, and Kool-Aid.
  • Gas Solution: The atmosphere is a prime example.

Mixtures and Colloids

  • Suspension: Contains large particles that settle out (e.g., muddy water, salad dressing).
  • Colloid: Intermediate-sized particles; includes emulsions and foams.

Electrolytes

  • Electrolyte: A substance that dissolves in water to produce a solution that conducts electricity.
  • Non-electrolyte: A substance that dissolves in water without conducting electricity.

Factors Affecting Solubility

  • Increasing the surface area of the solute enhances the rate of solution.
  • Agitation (stirring) promotes faster dissolution.
  • Heating the solvent generally increases solubility for solids and liquids.

Solution Types and Equilibrium

  • Saturated Solution: Contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute.
  • Unsaturated Solution: Contains less solute than the maximum.
  • Supersaturated Solution: Holds more dissolved solute than a saturated solution.
  • Solution Equilibrium: Occurs when the rates of dissolution and crystallization are equal.

Solubility Measurement

  • Solubility: The extent to which a solute can dissolve at a given temperature.
  • "Like dissolves like": Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes; non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.

Hydration and Hydrates

  • Hydration: The process of dissolving with water as the solvent.
  • Hydrates: Ionic compounds that contain water molecules within their crystal structure.

Miscibility

  • Immiscible: Liquids that do not mix or dissolve in each other (e.g., oil and water).
  • Miscible: Liquids that can mix in any ratio without separation (e.g., water and alcohol).

Effects of Pressure and Temperature

  • Pressure has no effect on solid or liquid solutions, but it increases gas solubility.
  • Increasing temperature typically increases solubility for solids and liquids, while lower temperatures increase gas solubility in liquids.

Key Laws and Phenomena

  • Henry's Law: Solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the gas's partial pressure above the liquid.
  • Effervescence: The rapid escape of gas from a liquid solution.

Solution Properties

  • Solvated: Refers to a solute particle surrounded by solvent molecules.
  • Enthalpy of Solution: The heat absorbed when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent.

Concentration Measures

  • Concentration: Indicates the amount of solute in a solvent or solution.
  • Molarity (M): Number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
  • Molality (m): Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
  • Percent Composition by Mass: Expresses the percentage of solute in a solution by mass.
