    Study Notes

    Solutions

    • A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solvent and one or more solutes.
    • The solute is the component present in the smaller amount, while the solvent is the component present in the larger amount.
    • The solvent can exist in any of the three states of matter: solid, liquid, or gas.
    • The concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute per unit of solution.
    • Solutions can be classified as dilute, concentrated, or saturated based on the amount of solute present.

    Dilute Solutions

    • Dilute solutions contain a low concentration of solute compared to solvent.
    • Examples include cleaning products and disinfectants.

    Concentrated Solutions

    • Concentrated solutions have a higher concentration of solute than dilute solutions.
    • The solute can be more readily separated from the solvent, via evaporation for example.

    Saturated Solutions

    • Saturated solutions have dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible at a given temperature.
    • Further solute addition will not dissolve and will precipitate out or settle at the bottom when the temperature or agitation is changed.

    Unsaturated Solutions

    • Unsaturated solutions can dissolve additional solute.
    • Solutions can also be described as super-saturated solutions when additional solute is dissolved above the normal limit of the solvent at a given temperature.

    Solubility

    • Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
    • It is a property specific to each compound and depends on a specific temperature.
    • Temperature significantly affects solubility. Increasing the temperature usually increases the solubility of a solute.

    Units of Concentration

    • Qualitative analysis involves classifying a solution as dilute, concentrated, or saturated.
    • Quantitative analysis involves understanding various concentration units and their applications.

    Percentage Mass/Mass

    • This method expresses concentration by relating the mass of the solute to the total mass of the solution.
    • The equation for calculating the percentage mass/mass is:
      • (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) * 100%

    Concentration of Everyday Products

    • Understanding the concentration of substances in common use products allows for informed consumption decisions.
    • Many commercial products are solutions used for various purposes, such as treating illnesses, cleaning, or as food or drinks.
    • Knowing their concentration allows safe and efficient consumption.
    • Examples:
      • Hydrogen peroxide (33% to 37%)
      • Pharmacy Alcohol (70% ethanol)
      • Aspirin (500 mg/tablet)

    The History of Chemistry

    • Early civilizations had great interest in understanding how matter is formed and changes.
    • The discovery of the first materials used by ancient civilizations, like stones and metals, marks the different ages of the primitive era.
      • Stone Age (8000 BCE)
      • Bronze Age (4000 BCE)
      • Iron Age (1200 BCE)
    • Egyptians were known for their embalming methods and the preparation of dyes, pigments, and infusions.
    • Greek philosophers were keen observers of the universe and its materials, with theories on the composition of matter.
      • Thales of Miletus (624-546 BCE) proposed a fundamental element from which all substances are formed.
      • Heráclito de Éfeso (540-480 a.n.e.) emphasized fire as the element of change.
      • Anaximenes de Mileto (590-528 a.n.e.) thought air was the principle of all things.
      • Empédocles de Agrigento (484-424 a.n.e.) proposed earth as the main element.
      • Aristotle (384-322 a.n.e.) accepted previous ideas but proposed specific properties for elements (heat, coldness, moisture, dryness) and that the sky was made of a fifth element, “ether.”
    • Leucipo (499-400 a.n.e.) and Democritus (460-370 a.n.c.) were concerned with the divisibility of matter.
      • Democritus proposed that matter was composed of atoms of different sizes and shapes, giving them different properties. This idea is known as atomism.
    • Alexander the Great (356-323 a.n.c.) established the Library of Alexandria in Egypt, where various disciplines were studied.
    • The Arabs combined these learnings with Egyptian and oriental knowledge, leading to the practice of alchemy.

    Alchemy

    • Alchemists used unknown methods to transform substances, often seen as magic or sorcery.
    • Their practice dates back to the 4th century BC.
    • Alchemists accepted the Greek idea of four elements: air, earth, fire, and water.
    • They sought a substance called the Philosopher's Stone, believed to transform metals into gold and extend life.
    • Their knowledge included preparing compounds, forming crystals, distillation, separating components of substances, and designing laboratory instruments.

    The Rise of Modern Chemistry

    • By the 19th century, scientific methodology replaced alchemy with controlled experiments and observations.
    • Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was instrumental in developing chemistry as an experimental science. He studied air, proposed the corpuscular theory of matter, and advanced understanding of combustion.
    • Boyle defined elements as substances that couldn't be broken down further and compounds as combinations of elements, changing the understanding of chemical reactions.

    Chemistry's Modern Role

    • Modern chemistry plays a vital role in modern technology.
      • It enables transportation and communication by contributing to the fabrication of synthetic materials.
      • It addresses human needs by producing essential items like medicines, fabrics, and building materials.
      • It generates energy by being key in creating power sources.
