    Study Notes

    • This document details various aspects of solutions in chemistry.

    Characteristics of Solutions

    • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances where each substance retains its own chemical identity.
    • Components of a solution:
      • Solvent: The component present in the greatest amount.
      • Solute: The component present in a lesser amount relative to the solvent. The substance being dissolved.

    Solubility

    • Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent under specific conditions.
    • Most solids become more soluble in water with increasing temperature.
    • Gas solubility in water decreases with increasing temperature.
    • Pressure has little effect on the solubility of solids and liquids, but a major effect on gas solubility. This is based on Henry's Law, where increased pressure increases gas solubility, and vice-versa.

    Types of Solutions

    • Unsaturated solution: Contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve under the existing conditions. Most common solution type.
    • Saturated solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve under the existing conditions.
    • Supersaturated solution: An unstable solution that temporarily contains more dissolved solute than present in a saturated solution. Excess solute will crystallize out over time, reverting to a saturated solution.

    Solubility Rules

    • Solubility is often related to polarity. "Like dissolves like" meaning substances with similar polarities tend to be more soluble in each other than those with differing polarities. The greater the difference in solute-solvent polarity, the less soluble the solute.

    Concentration Units

    • Concentration describes the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution.
      • Percent concentration (various): These include percent by mass, percent by volume, and mass-volume percent, each calculated differently based on units.
      • Molarity: Moles of solute per liter of solution (M).
      • Molality: Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (m). Molality is independent of temperature.

    Dilution

    • Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent. The equation is:
    • Concentration of stock solution* × volume of stock solution = concentration of diluted solution × volume of diluted solution (CsVs = CdVd)

    Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure

    • Osmosis: The net movement of solvent from a region of high solvent concentration (low solute concentration) to a region of low solvent concentration (high solute concentration) across a semi-permeable membrane.
    • Semipermeable membrane: A membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through, but restricts the passage of others.
    • Osmotic pressure: The pressure required to prevent the net flow of solvent across a semipermeable membrane from a solution with lower solute concentration to a solution with higher solute concentration.

    Osmolarity

    • Osmolarity: The concentration of a solution expressed as the total number of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. It is a very important factor in biological systems, and crucial for comparing osmotic pressures of different solutions.

    Tonicity

    • Tonicity: The ability of a solution to cause water movement into or out of a cell.
      • Hypotonic solution: A solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell. Water will move into the cell, causing it to swell.
      • Hypertonic solution: A solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell. Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
      • Isotonic solution: A solution with an equal solute concentration to the cell. Water moves into and out of the cell at equal rates, maintaining cell shape..
