Study Notes
Properties of Liquids
- The strength of intermolecular forces (IMFs) determines the physical properties of liquids.
- IMFs can include: hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and van der Waals forces.
- The extent of the molecule over which IMFs can act is important, as larger molecules with more points of contact will have stronger overall IMFs.
Miscibility and Immiscibility
- Liquids can be miscible (form a solution) or immiscible (separate layers).
- Miscibility occurs when solute-solvent interactions are similar in strength to solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions.
- Immiscibility occurs when the solvent excludes the solute.
Dissolving Solids
- The rule "like dissolves like" applies to solid solutes as well.
- Polar molecular solids are soluble in polar solvents, while nonpolar molecular solids are soluble in nonpolar solvents.
- Network solids, such as diamond and silica, are essentially insoluble in any solvent.
Dissolving Salts
- When salts dissolve, ions become hydrated (surrounded by water molecules).
- The energetics of dissolution involve the breaking of ionic bonds and the formation of ion-dipole interactions.
- Entropy changes can also influence the solubility of salts.
Concentration Units
- Mass Percent: the mass of solute per total mass of the solution.
- Mole Fraction: the moles of solute per total moles of the solution.
- Molarity: the moles of solute per liter of solution.
- Molality: the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
- Parts per Million (ppm): the milligrams of solute per kilogram of solution.
Supersaturated Solutions
- Supersaturated solutions contain more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature.
- They are unstable and can release the excess solute in the form of precipitation or gas.
- Examples include soda pop, which releases carbon dioxide gas over time, and Lake Nyos, Cameroon, which tragically released a large amount of CO2 gas.
Factors Affecting Solubility
- Temperature: Solubility generally increases with temperature for solids and decreases with temperature for gases.
- Pressure: Pressure significantly impacts the solubility of gases, with solubility increasing with pressure.
- Nature of the solute and solvent: Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
- Intermolecular forces: Solutes with stronger IMFs require greater energy to dissolve.
Applications
- The concentration of solutions is important in many applications, such as car batteries, where the electrolyte's concentration affects its properties.
- Understanding solubility and supersaturation is essential in various fields, including food science, chemical engineering, and environmental studies.
