Study Notes
Solutions Overview
- A solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in a single physical state.
- A solution is not heterogeneous, as its particles are evenly distributed.
Components of Solutions
- The substance that dissolves is called the solute.
- The substance that does the dissolving is known as the solvent.
Types of Solutions
- Solutions can be classified into three categories: solid, liquid, and gaseous.
- Types of solid solutions include gas dissolved in liquid, liquid dissolved in solid, and solid dissolved in solid.
Examples of Solutions
- Gas dissolved in a solid: charcoal filter.
- Liquid dissolved in a solid: dental filling.
- Solid dissolved in a solid: metal alloy.
- Soda is a gas dissolved in a liquid.
- Antifreeze is a liquid dissolved in a liquid.
- Salt water is a solid dissolved in a liquid.
Properties of Gaseous Solutions
- All mixtures of gases are considered solutions, as components diffuse uniformly in their container.
- The properties of gaseous solutions depend on the individual properties of each gas component.
Liquid Solutions
- Three types of liquid solutions include:
- Gas dissolved in a liquid.
- Liquid dissolved in a liquid.
- Solid dissolved in a liquid.
Miscibility and Solvation
- Two liquids that mix in any proportions are labeled miscible.
- Two liquids that do not mix are termed immiscible.
- Water is called the universal solvent due to its ability to form solutions with many substances.
- An electrolyte is a substance that dissolves in water and conducts electricity.
- The interaction between solute and solvent is referred to as solvation; in water, it’s called hydration.
Factors Affecting Solvation
- The rate of solvation for a solid solute is influenced by:
- Surface area.
- Stirring.
- Temperature.
- A greater surface area results in a faster dissolution of the solute.
- Increasing temperature speeds up solute dissolution.
Solubility Concepts
- Solubility is defined as the amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent under specified conditions.
- A saturated solution contains the maximum solute amount that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
- A supersaturated solution holds more solute than it can theoretically dissolve at a certain temperature and can be used to grow crystals.
Concentration of Solutions
- Factors influencing solubility include the nature of both solute and solvent, temperature, and pressure.
- A dilute solution contains a small quantity of solute, while a concentrated solution has a large amount.
- Molarity, molality, and mole fraction are measures of concentration.
- Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1000 g of solvent.
