Study Notes
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of one or more solutes and a solvent.
- A solute is the substance being dissolved.
- A solvent is the dissolving agent, usually the most abundant substance.
Classification of Compounds
-
Organic Compounds: Compounds primarily consisting of carbon, excluding carbonates, cyanides, carbides, and oxides. Often derived from living organisms. Tend to be soluble in organic solvents and usually flammable. Structures are complex, often in chains or rings.
-
Inorganic Compounds: Compounds that do not primarily consist of carbon. Includes oxides, bases, acids, and salts. Often derived from minerals or non-living sources. Typically soluble in water (especially ionic compounds) and are not flammable. Structures are simple and often crystalline.
Acids, Bases, and Salts
- Acids: Substances that taste sour, turn blue litmus paper red, and corrode metals, producing H2 gas.
- Bases: Substances that taste bitter, turn red litmus paper blue, and have a slippery feel.
- Salts: Formed when acids and bases react, neutralizing each other and producing a salt along with water.
Acid and Base Definitions
-
Arrhenius Definition: An acid produces H+ ions in aqueous solution; a base produces OH- ions. Free H+ ions don't exist alone in solution, they combine with water to form H3O+ ions. This theory assumes all bases contain OH-.
-
Brønsted-Lowry Definition: An acid is a proton donor, and a base is a proton acceptor. The product that gains an H+ is the conjugate acid of the base. The product that loses an H+ is the conjugate base of the acid.
-
Lewis Definition: A broader definition. An acid is an electron pair acceptor; a base is an electron pair donor.
Electrolytes
- Electrolytes are substances that, when dissolved in water or other solvents, produce ions allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
- Electrolytes are essential in both chemistry and biology for activities like conducting electrical signals and maintaining homeostasis.
- Strong Electrolytes: Dissociate completely in solution, producing a high concentration of ions. Examples include strong acids (HCI, H2SO4), strong bases (NaOH, KOH), and most salts (NaCl, KNO3).
- Weak Electrolytes: Partially dissociate in solution, producing fewer ions. Examples include weak acids (CH3COOH), and weak bases (NH3).
- Non-Electrolytes: Do not produce ions in solution; therefore, they do not conduct electricity. Examples include sugars (glucose, sucrose) and alcohols (ethanol).
Nature of Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of a solute and solvent.
- The concentration of solute in a solution dictates how much solute dissolves.
- What dissolves depends on characteristics of both solute and solvent.
Properties of a True Solution
- A homogeneous mixture of two or more components.
- A solute is molecular or ionic in size (less than 1 nm).
- Generally colorless or transparent.
- The solute will not separate out of the solution.
- The solute can be separated from the solvent by physical methods.
Solubility
- Solubility describes the amount of a substance that can dissolve in a specific amount of solvent at a particular temperature.
- Miscible liquids dissolve in each other.
- Immiscible liquids do not dissolve in each other.
- Ionic compound solubility rules predict whether substances will dissolve.
Factors Related to Solubility
- "Like dissolves like": Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents; nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
- Temperature changes affect solubility of solids and gases differently.
- Pressure affects the solubility of gases.
- The rate of dissolving solids depends on the particle size, temperature, agitation, and concentration of the solution.
Saturated, Unsaturated, and Supersaturated Solutions
- Saturated solution: Contains the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a particular temperature. It is in equilibrium with undissolved solute.
- Unsaturated solution: Contains less solute than the maximum amount that can dissolve.
- Supersaturated solution: Contains more solute than the maximum amount that can dissolve under normal conditions. The excess solute will precipitate out if conditions change (like temperature).
Concentration of Solutions
- Qualitative: Dilute or concentrated solutions are described by how much solute is dissolved.
- Quantitative: Various units are used to measure the specific concentration of a solution, such as mass percent, mass/volume percent, volume percent, molarity, and molality.
Solution Stoichiometry
- Calculations to find specific amounts of reactants and products in solutions involving chemical reactions.
Dilution of Solutions
- Adding a solvent to a concentrated solution makes it less concentrated (more dilute).
- Moles of solute remain constant in a dilution.
- V₁M₁ = V₂M₂ A key equation.
Colligative Properties of Solutions
- Solution properties which depend only on the number of solute particles, not the type of solute.
- Some colligative properties include vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.
Osmotic Pressure
- Pressure required to stop osmosis (the net movement of solvent from a lower to a higher concentration).
- Osmotic pressure is a colligative property.
- The formula relates osmotic pressure to molarity, the ideal gas constant, and temperature: π = iMRT
