Study Notes
Classification of Solutions
- Solutions are classified as homogeneous mixtures due to the uniform distribution of particles.
- Solutions consist of very small particles that can be molecules, atoms, or ions.
- Solutions may contain components that were initially in different phases (solid, liquid, gas) but are in a single phase when mixed.
Composition of Gold
- Pure gold is identified as 24 carat, while 14-carat gold is composed of 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals.
- 14-carat gold is classified as an alloy, which is a specific type of solution.
Examples of Solutions
- Air is an example of a gaseous solution, primarily made of oxygen and nitrogen when dry.
- The most common type of solutions encountered are liquid solutions.
Definitions
- Miscible: Liquids that will dissolve in each other, forming a homogeneous mixture.
- Immiscible: Liquids that do not mix or dissolve in each other, forming distinct layers.
Light Behavior in Solutions
- The Tyndall effect explains why light beams from car headlights can be seen in fog, as light scatters through small particles suspended in the air.
Factors Affecting Solubility
- To increase the rate of dissolving a solid in water, the solid's particles can be crushed, increasing surface area for interaction with the solvent.
Solute and Solvent
- In a solution where 15 grams of iodine are dissolved in 1000 mL of alcohol, alcohol is classified as the solvent, and the solution is identified as a homogeneous mixture.
- The solute is the substance that is dissolved, while the solvent is the substance that dissolves other materials.
Solutions vs. Suspensions
- Solutions remain homogeneous and do not separate over time, while suspensions will separate when left undisturbed, and can often be filtered.
- Smoke is an example of a suspension, containing solid particles within a gas (air) that can eventually settle.
Colloids and Emulsions
- Colloids have particle sizes between solutions and suspensions, remaining dispersed but not settling out.
- Emulsions are colloids composed of one liquid mixed in another liquid, typically requiring an emulsifying agent to maintain stability.
Aqueous Solutions
- An aqueous solution refers to a solution where water is the solvent.
Conductivity of Solutions
- Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while non-electrolytes do not conduct electricity when dissolved.
