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.
