Study Notes
Solutions and Colloids
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures with a single phase, while colloids are heterogeneous mixtures with distinct phases.
- Solutions contain individual atoms, ions, or small molecules, whereas colloids consist of macromolecules or aggregations of small molecules.
Composition of Cellular Solutions
- Water makes up approximately 70% of cell mass.
- Other solutes in cells include ions (1%), sugars (3%), amino acids (0.4%), lipids (2%), and macromolecules (23%).
- Solubility is influenced by the interaction between solute and solvent, summarized by the expression "like dissolves in like."
Intermolecular Forces
- Various types of intermolecular forces include ion-dipole (40-600 kJ/mol), hydrogen bonding (10-40 kJ/mol), and dispersion forces (0.05-40 kJ/mol).
- Solvent-solvent and solute-solute attractions are replaced by solute-solvent attractions during solution formation, requiring similar intermolecular forces.
Alcohols and Solubility
- Alcohols feature a polar –OH group, which allows them to interact with water and hydrocarbons through different intermolecular forces.
- Solubility of alcohols in water decreases with increased hydrocarbon chain length, while solubility in hexane increases.
Solvation Process
- Solvation, or hydration in water, involves surrounding solute particles with solvent molecules.
- Hydration of ions is exothermic, as it involves strong ion-dipole attractions.
Entropy and Solutions
- Entropy (S) measures a system's energy dispersion and freedom of motion, with gases displaying the highest entropy.
- Solutions generally have higher entropy compared to pure solutes and solvents; entropy increases favor the dissolution process.
Types of Solutions
- A saturated solution contains the maximum dissolved solute possible at a given temperature, while unsaturated solutions can accommodate more solute.
- Supersaturated solutions are unstable and contain excess solute, which crystallizes upon disturbance.
Effect of Temperature and Pressure on Solubility
- Solubility of solids typically increases with temperature; gas solubility decreases as temperature rises.
- Gas solubility increases with pressure, governed by the equation S_gas = k_H × P_gas (Henry's Law).
Example Calculations
- Given a solution with 30.0 g H2O2 and 70.0 g H2O, molality can be calculated, resulting in 12.6 m H2O2.
- Conversions from mass percentage to mole fraction and from mass percentage/density to molarity can be performed to determine the concentration of solutions.
