Study Notes
Solutions - Key Concepts
- Types of Solutions:
- Liquid in solid: A solid solvent with a liquid solute, e.g., mercury in sodium (amalgam).
- Interstitial solid solution: Occurs when two solids with significantly different molecule sizes mix.
- Concentration Terms:
- Semimolar: A solution with a molarity of M/2.
- Decimolar: A solution with a molarity of M/10.
- Mole Fraction: A dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of a component's moles to the total moles in the solution, e.g., 0.5 mole fraction of water in a solution with equal moles of water and ethanol.
- Solubility Trends:
- Gases in liquids: Solubility decreases as temperature increases due to increased gas kinetic energy and shifting of equilibrium towards the gaseous state.
- Ideal Solutions:
- Conditions: Follow Raoult's law, homogenous mixtures, no volumetric or thermal effects.
- Example: Mixture of chlorobenzene and bromobenzene due to equal interaction between molecules.
- Non-ideal Examples: Mixture of chloroform and acetone.
- Concentration of Trace Amounts:
- Parts per million (ppm): Used for expressing the concentration of solutes present in trace amounts.
- Henry's Law:
- KH (Henry's constant): Lower KH value signifies higher solubility of gas in a liquid.
- Solubility: O2 has a lower KH value than N2, therefore it is more soluble in water at the same partial pressure.
- Molarity vs. Molality:
- Equivalence: In extremely dilute solutions, molarity and molality are nearly identical.
- Colligative Properties:
- Vapor Pressure: Elevation in vapor pressure occurs when a solute like HgI2 forms a complex with KI, decreasing the number of solute particles.
- Boiling Point: Solutions showing negative deviation from Raoult's law have a lower vapor pressure and therefore a higher boiling point.
- Freezing Point: CaCl2 is used to de-ice roads as it depresses the freezing point of water, preventing ice formation.
- Antifreeze: Ethylene glycol, used in car radiators, lowers the freezing point of water, preventing damage in cold climates.
- Abnormal Molecular Weights: Colligative properties can give abnormal molecular weights due to association or dissociation of solute molecules, as explained by the van't Hoff factor.
- Freezing Point Depression: The depression in freezing point for 0.01m NaCl is nearly double that of 0.01m glucose because NaCl dissociates into two ions while glucose doesn't.
- Van't Hoff Factor (i):
- Association: i is less than 1 (e.g., dimerization of carboxylic acids)
- Dissociation: i is greater than 1 (e.g., electrolytes like NaCl)
- Osmotic Pressure:
- Isotonic Solutions: Solutions with equal osmotic pressure have equal concentrations.
- Molecular Mass of Urea: Calculating the molecular mass of urea in an isotonic solution with sucrose.
- Calculation of Molality, Freezing Point, and Percentage Association:
- Comprehensive explanation and examples of how to calculate molality, freezing point, and the percentage of association for solutions.
- Maximum Allowable Level of Nitrates in Drinking Water:
- The maximum allowable level of nitrate ions is 45 mg/L, equivalent to 45 ppm.
