Study Notes

Solution Properties

Mixtures: Combinations of two or more substances where components retain their individual properties. Mixtures can have variable proportions and are separable by physical processes. Pure substances (compounds and elements) only interconvert via chemical processes.

Types of Mixtures

Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform composition throughout; components are evenly distributed. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures. The composition of a pure substance is fixed, while a homogeneous mixture can vary. For example, a sugar-water solution can have varying sugar concentrations (homogeneous mixture), unlike sugar itself (pure substance).
Heterogeneous Mixtures: Consists of physically distinct parts with different properties; visibly distinct phases. Examples include sand and water, oil and water.

Suspensions, Solutions, and Colloids

Suspensions: Heterogeneous mixtures where solid particles don't dissolve in a liquid. They settle over time. Mud and water, sand and water are examples.
Solutions: Homogeneous mixtures of a solute dissolved in a solvent. Particles are atomic, molecular, or ionic in size. The solvent is usually liquid, but can be gas or solid. Examples include air, soda, seawater, coffee, tea.
Colloids: Heterogeneous mixtures with particles larger than solutions but smaller than suspensions. Particles in colloids are dispersed uniformly but don't settle.

Properties of Solutions

Homogeneous Phase: Solutions have a single, uniform phase with no visible boundaries.
Stability: Components of solutions do not separate or coagulate when left undisturbed.
Particle Size: Particles are so small they pass through filter paper; filtration doesn't separate the solute from the solvent.

Types of Solutions

Gaseous Solutions: Both solute and solvent are gases (e.g., air).
Liquid Solutions: Solids, liquids, or gases can dissolve in a liquid solvent. (e.g., carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, seawater).
Solid Solutions: Solids dissolve in a solid solvent. (e.g., alloys, many ceramics, metal alloys).

Project: Jewelry Gold

Students should visit a goldsmith and report on the process of making jewelry gold.

Coagulation

Coagulation is the process where the dispersed phase of a colloid aggregates and separates from the dispersion medium. Milk curdling is an example.

Solution Formation

"Like Dissolves Like": Substances with similar intermolecular forces dissolve in each other.
- Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents.
- Nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Solution Process Steps: Breaking solute-solute attractions, breaking solvent-solvent attractions, forming solute-solvent attractions.
Intermolecular Forces: Attractive forces between molecules (not within the molecule).
- Dispersion forces (London forces): Weak attractions in all molecules.
- Dipole-dipole forces: Attractions between polar molecules.
- Dipole-induced dipole forces: Attractions between polar and nonpolar molecules.
- Ion-dipole forces: Attractions between ions and polar molecules (important in NaCl dissolving in water).
- Hydrogen bonding: Strong dipole-dipole forces involving hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.
Solubility: The maximum amount of a substance that dissolves in a given volume or concentration of solvent at a specific temperature.

Unsaturated, Saturated, and Supersaturated Solutions

Unsaturated Solution: Contains less solute than its maximum solubility.
Saturated Solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure.
Supersaturated Solution: Contains more solute than its maximum solubility at a given temperature and pressure (unstable).

Factors Affecting Solubility

Temperature:
- Most solids dissolve better at higher temperatures.
- Gases dissolve worse at higher temperatures.
Pressure: Solubility of gases increases as pressure increases.

Solubility as an Equilibrium Process

Dissolution and crystallization rates are equal in a saturated solution.

Heat of Solution

Endothermic: Dissolving absorbs heat from the surroundings.
Exothermic: Dissolving releases heat to the surroundings.
Calculating Heat of Solution: using specific heat capacity, mass, and temperature change.

Effect of Lattice Energy

Lattice energy: Energy required to separate ions from a crystal lattice.
Hydration energy: Energy released when ions are surrounded by water molecules.
Factors affecting lattice energy: ion charge, distance between charges.

Experiment: Heat of Solution

An experiment to measure the heat released or absorbed when a substance dissolves (using a calorimeter and measuring temperature change).
