Study Notes
Types of Solutions
- Unsaturation: a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.
- Saturation: a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute at a constant temperature and pressure.
- Supersaturation: an unstable solution where the concentration of the solute is greater than when the solution is saturated.
Factors Affecting Solubility
- The nature of solute and solvent
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Surface area
- Stirring
Concentration of Solutions
- Refers to the amount or quantity of solute present in a specified amount of solvent
- Methods of expressing concentration: percent by mass (%), molality (m), mole fraction (x), and parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb), and parts per trillion (ppt)
Percent by Mass (%)
- Computed by dividing the mass of the solute by the mass of the solution
- Example: 30% sugar solution in water means 30 grams of sugar is dissolved in 70 grams of water to create 100 grams of solution
Molality (m)
- Similar to molarity except that the number of moles of solute is divided by 1 kg of solvent rather than 1 L of solution
- Unit of molality is M, read as molal
Mole Fraction (x)
- Defined as the amount of the component of the solution expressed in moles per mole of solution
- The sum of the mole fractions of each component of the solution is always equal to 1
Properties of Solutions (Part II)
- Haber Process: an industrial process for producing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen using an iron catalyst at high temperature and pressure
Titration (Titrimetry)
- A method of expressing concentration in terms of volume used when the substances that form the solution are in states whose quantities can be more accurately measured in terms of volume
Molar Mass
- A mole is the SI unit of number of particles and can be used as an expression of the molecular weight of a substance
- The formula weight of an element is expressed as grams/mole
- The molar mass of a compound can be calculated by adding the molar mass of the individual elements
Molarity
- Defined as the number of moles of solute in one liter of solution
- Denoted as M and has the unit of mol/L
- Read as molar

Description
Test your knowledge on molality and mole fraction concepts, which are important in understanding solution concentrations and properties like vapor pressure. Learn about how molality differs from molarity and when it is recommended to use molality over molarity for calculations involving temperature-dependent volumes. Get familiar with the unit 'molal' and how to calculate mole fractions in solutions.
