Study Notes
Physical Pharmacy (II) - Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more pure substances, with uniform composition.
- Solutions can be true solutions, colloidal solutions, or coarse dispersions.
- A true solution is a homogeneous molecular dispersion (one phase).
- The composition of a true solution can vary widely.
Phases
- A phase is a homogeneous part of a system separated by definite boundaries.
- Colloidal dispersions have particle sizes between true solutions and coarse dispersions (roughly 10 Å to 5000 Å).
- Coarse dispersions have larger particle sizes (greater than 0.1 µm or 10⁻⁵ cm).
Binary Solutions
- A binary solution is composed of two substances: a solvent (usually present in greater amount) and a solute.
- When a solid dissolves in a liquid, the liquid is typically considered the solvent.
- Water is often taken as the solvent in mixtures.
- Determining solute and solvent in some liquid mixtures can be difficult (e.g., alcohol and water).
Types of Solutions
- Heterogeneous: Two-phase system. Example: Silver Proteinate in water.
- Homogeneous: Single-phase system, like solutions of acacia in water or sodium carboxymethylcellulose in water. These may also be true solutions.
Properties of Solutions
- Colligative Properties: Depend on the number of particles in solution. Examples are osmotic pressure, vapor pressure lowering, freezing point depression, and boiling point elevation.
- Additive Properties: Depend on the sum of the properties of the constituents. Examples include molecular weight and the total mass of components.
- Constitutive Properties: Depend on the arrangement of atoms within molecules. Examples include refraction of light, electrical properties, surface characteristics, and solubility.
Ideal and Real Solutions
- Ideal Solutions: Formed by mixing substances with similar properties. No heat is evolved or absorbed during mixing. Example: Mixing 100 mL methanol with 100 mL ethanol results in a 200 mL mixture with no heat change. The properties of the constituents change only by dilution.
- Real Solutions (Non-ideal): Do not always adhere to Raoult's Law and interactions between constituents are more complex. Example: 100 mL sulfuric acid + 100 mL water does not equal 200 mL.
Solution Concentration
- Dilute Solution: Contains a small amount of solute per unit volume.
- Concentrated Solution: Contains a relatively large amount of solute per unit volume. Various expressions exist for solution concentrations.
Concentration Expressions
- Mass percent (w/w): Mass of solute per 100 g of solution
- Percent weight by volume (w/v): Mass of solute per 100 parts (volume) of solution (when solvent volume isn't exactly known).
- Volume by volume (v/v): Volume of solute per 100 parts (volume) of solution (volumes are often assumed as equal).
Other Concentration Expressions
- Molarity (M): Number of moles of solute per liter of solution
- Molality (m): Number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
- Normality (N): Gram equivalent weights of solute in 1 liter of solution
- Mole Fraction: Expresses the moles of a component relative to the total moles of the solution.
