Study Notes

Unit Outcomes

  • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of a solute dissolved in a solvent.
  • Solution formation involves breaking solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions and forming solute-solvent interactions.
  • Solubility depends on temperature and pressure.
  • Concentration is the relative quantity of solute compared to the total solution or solvent.

Types of Mixtures

  • Mixtures combine two or more substances, maintaining their individual properties.
  • Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout (e.g., solutions).
  • Heterogeneous mixtures have physically distinct parts with non-uniform composition (e.g., suspensions).

Solutions, Suspensions, and Colloids

  • Solutions are homogeneous, with solute particles in a size of individual atoms, molecules, or ions.
  • Suspensions are heterogeneous, with solid particles dispersed in a liquid without dissolving.
  • Colloids are heterogeneous with particle sizes between 1 nm and 100 nm, appearing homogenous but visibly scattering light (Tyndall effect).

Types of Solutions

  • Gaseous solutions (gas-gas): The atmosphere is a major example
  • Liquid solutions (liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, or gas-liquid): Carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, and seawater.
  • Solid solutions (solid-solid): Alloys, dental filling

Solubility Rules for Ionic Solids

  • Group 1A salts and ammonium salts are soluble.
  • Salts containing acetate, nitrate, perchlorate are usually soluble.
  • Chlorides, bromides, and iodides are generally soluble, except those containing silver, lead, copper, or mercury.
  • Most hydroxides are slightly soluble; Group 1 hydroxides are soluble.
  • Most sulfates are soluble except those with barium, strontium, lead, calcium, silver, or mercury.
  • Except for Group 1A and ammonium salts, carbonates, sulfides, oxides, and phosphates are generally insoluble in water.

Solution Process

  • Dissolution is a physical process, not a chemical change.
  • "Like dissolves like": Substances with similar intermolecular forces dissolve in each other.
    • Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents.
    • Nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

Intermolecular Forces

  • Intermolecular forces influence solubility.
  • Types of intermolecular forces (weakest to strongest):
    • Dispersion forces
    • Dipole-induced dipole forces
    • Dipole-dipole forces
    • Hydrogen bonds
    • Ion-dipole forces

Solubility as Equilibrium

  • A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature.
  • Unsaturated solutions have dissolved solute below the maximum.
  • Supersaturated solutions contain more solute than possible at a given temperature.

Factors Affecting Solubility

  • Temperature (solids): Generally, increased temperature increases solubility.
  • Temperature (gases): Generally, increased temperature decreases solubility.
  • Pressure (gases): Increased pressure increases solubility (Henry's Law).

Concentration Units

  • Concentration describes the relative amount of solute in a solution.
  • Ways to express solution concentration include mass percentage (%), parts per million (ppm), and parts per billion (ppb).

Heat of Solution

  • Heat of solution is the amount of heat absorbed or released when a solute dissolves.
  • Endothermic dissolution absorbs heat; exothermic dissolution releases heat.
  • Molar heat of solution is the heat absorbed or released when one mole of solute dissolves.
