Study Notes
Objectives of the Unit
- Understand the formation of various types of solutions in the body.
- Learn to express solution concentration using different units.
- State and explain Henry’s law and Raoult’s law.
- Distinguish between ideal and non-ideal solutions.
- Explain how real solutions deviate from Raoult’s law.
- Describe colligative properties of solutions and their correlation with solute molar masses.
- Understand abnormal colligative properties exhibited by certain solutes.
Importance of Solutions
- Body processes predominantly occur in liquid solutions, not pure substances.
- Real-life mixtures consist of two or more pure substances, affecting their physical and chemical properties.
- Examples highlight how properties differ among mixtures: brass, German silver, and bronze.
Types of Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures with uniform composition and properties.
- The component present in the largest amount is termed the solvent; others are solutes.
- Focus primarily on binary solutions, consisting of two components, which may be solid, liquid, or gas.
Classification of Solutions
Gaseous Solutions
- Gas as solute and gas as solvent: mixture of oxygen and nitrogen.
- Liquid as solute and gas as solvent: chloroform mixed with nitrogen.
- Solid as solute and gas as solvent: camphor dissolved in nitrogen.
Liquid Solutions
- Gas as solute and liquid as solvent: oxygen in water.
- Liquid as solute and liquid as solvent: ethanol in water.
- Solid as solute and liquid as solvent: glucose in water.
Solid Solutions
- Gas as solute and solid as solvent: hydrogen in palladium.
- Liquid as solute and solid as solvent: amalgam of mercury and sodium.
- Solid as solute and solid as solvent: copper in gold.
Expressing Concentration
- Concentration can be described qualitatively (dilute or concentrated) but is often confusing in practical scenarios.
- Emphasis on the need for quantitative descriptions to realize exact solution concentrations.
