    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.
