    Study Notes

    Energy Changes in Solution Formation

    • The dissolving of a solute in a solvent involves an energy change, often causing a temperature change.
    • The heat of solution (enthalpy of solution, ΔHsoln) describes the energy change when one mole of solute dissolves in a solvent.
    • Enthalpy (H) equals heat (Q) if pressure remains constant.
    • Solution processes can be endothermic or exothermic.

    Endothermic vs. Exothermic Processes

    • Exothermic: Energy flows out of the solution, increasing the surrounding temperature.
    • Endothermic: Energy flows into the solution, decreasing the surrounding temperature.
    • The heat of solution's nature (endo- or exothermic) depends on the relative strengths of lattice energy (breaking apart ions) and heat of solvation (forming new bonds).

    Bond Breaking and Formation

    • Breaking bonds requires energy (endothermic), absorbing heat.
    • Forming bonds releases energy (exothermic), releasing heat.
    • Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic depends on the difference between the energy needed to break bonds and the energy released when forming new bonds.

    Temperature and Solubility

    • Solubility decreases with increasing temperature if the heat of solution is negative (exothermic). This is because an increase in temperature favors the reverse reaction, the returning of the solute to a non-dissolved phase
    • Solubility increases with increasing temperature if the heat of solution is positive (endothermic). This is because an increase in temperature favors the forward reaction, the dissolving of the solute.

    Le Chatelier's Principle

    • Le Chatelier's Principle states that a system in equilibrium will shift to counteract changes in temperature, pressure, or concentration.
    • Increasing heat in an endothermic reaction would shift equilibrium toward products.
    • Increasing heat in an exothermic reaction would shift equilibrium toward reactants.
