Study Notes

General Chemistry II - Chapter 2: Solutions and Their Properties

This chapter covers solutions and their properties, including different concentration expressions, stoichiometric calculations for reactions in solution, and the effect of concentration on colligative properties.

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Competency 1: Express solution concentration using various methods: percent by mass, mole fraction, molarity, molality, percent by volume, and parts per million (ppm).
Competency 2: Perform stoichiometric calculations for reactions in solution.
Competency 3: Describe the effect of concentration on colligative properties of solutions.
Competency 4: Differentiate colligative properties of nonelectrolyte and electrolyte solutions.
Competency 5: Calculate boiling point elevation and freezing point depression based on solute concentration.
Competency 6: Calculate molar mass from colligative property data.
Competency 7: Describe laboratory procedures for determining solution concentration.

Section 2.1: Types of Solutions

EQ: What types of solutions are encountered everyday?
A solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
Atoms, ions, or molecules are uniformly distributed in a single phase.
Solutions consist of a solute (substance dissolved) and a solvent (dissolving medium). Typically, the solute is present in a smaller amount.

Types of Solutions (examples)

Gas in gas (e.g., oxygen in nitrogen)
Gas in liquid (e.g., carbon dioxide in water)
Gas in solid (e.g., hydrogen in palladium)
Liquid in liquid (e.g., ethanol in water)
Liquid in solid (e.g., mercury in silver)
Solid in liquid (e.g., salt in water)
Solid in solid (e.g., copper in tin, bronze)

Types of Solutions

Unsaturated Solution: Contains less solute than the solvent's capacity to dissolve more.
Saturated Solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.
Supersaturated Solution: Contains more solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature. This type of solution is unstable. Excess solute can crystallize by adding a 'seed crystal' or by scratching the container.

Section 2.2: Energy of Solution Formation

EQ: How do liquid solutions form?
For substances to form a solution, they generally need similar polarities.
Solution formation takes three steps:
1. Overcoming intermolecular forces in the solvent: Enables space for the solute.
2. Separating the solute into its individual components: Breaking attractions between solute particles.
3. Allowing solute–solvent interactions to form the solution: Developing attractive forces between solute and solvent.

Enthalpy of Solution

The enthalpy change associated with solution formation.
It’s the sum of the enthalpy changes for the three steps.
A positive enthalpy change indicates an endothermic process (absorbing heat). A negative enthalpy change indicates an exothermic process (releasing heat).

Section 2.3: Concentration of Solutions

EQ: Why must solution concentrations be expressed correctly?
Concentration measures the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.
Different solution types can have different concentrations.

Concentration of a Solution (Examples of Units)

Percent by Mass: (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 100
Percent by Volume: (volume of solute / volume of solution) x 100
Percent by Mass-Volume: (mass of solute / volume of solution) x 100
Mole Fraction: Moles of component / Total moles in solution
Molality: Moles of solute / Kilograms of solvent
Molarity: Moles of solute / Liters of solution
Parts Per Million (ppm): (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 10⁶
Parts Per Billion (ppb): (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 10⁹

Sample Problems (examples)

Various calculations are provided using the different concentration units, including calculations to determine different concentrations.
