Study Notes
Mixtures and Pure Substances
- Mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances
- Homogenous mixtures have uniform composition, components are indistinguishable
- Heterogeneous mixtures have non-uniform composition, components can be distinguished
- Pure substances contain only one type of constituent
Types of Homogenous Mixtures
- Solutions: homogenous mixtures of solute(dissolved) and solvent(doing the dissolving) that do not scatter light
- Colloids: homogenous mixtures that scatter light (Tyndall effect). Particles are larger than in solutions.
- Suspensions: mixtures in which the dispersed particles settle out over time (heterogeneous mixtures) and scatter light
Solubility
- Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a given solvent
- Unsaturated solutions: can dissolve more solute at a given temperature
- Saturated solutions: cannot dissolve more solute at a given temperature
- Supersaturated solutions: contain more solute than can be dissolved at a given temperature; unstable
Solvation
- Solvation is the process of dissolving a solute in a solvent
- Solubility depends on the nature of the solute and solvent and the intermolecular forces between them
Factors Affecting Solubility
- Stirring/shaking increases the rate of solvation by moving dissolved particles away from contact surfaces
- Increasing surface area increases the rate of solvation by creating more collision surfaces
- Temperature increases the rate of solvation
Concentration
- Concentration measures the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution
- Dilutions decrease concentration by adding more solvent
- Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution (M = moles of solute / Liters of solution)
Calculating Molarity
- Use the formula M = moles of solute / Liters of solution
- Include values with units
- Report the answer with correct significant digits
Solubility Curves
- Solubility curves show the relationship between solubility and temperature
- Two types of problems
- Mass of water is 100 grams; read directly from the graph
- Different mass or volume of solvent; read from graph and then use calculations
