Study Notes
Terminology
- A solute dissolves in a solvent to create a solution
- Solutes and solvents can be gases, liquids, or solids
- A solute is the substance that is being dissolved in a solvent
- A solvent dissolves the solute
- Water is the most frequently used solvent
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture where a solute dissolves in a solvent, separating into individual atoms, ions, or molecules
- Solutions are transparent, even if they possess color
Miscible and Immiscible Liquids
- Miscible liquids dissolve in each other to form a solution
- Fractional distillation separates miscible liquids based on differing boiling points
- Distillation is a method to separate a pure liquid from a liquid or solid mixture, is effective when liquids have different boiling points
- Immiscible liquids do not dissolve in each other
- Separating funnels are used because immiscible liquids have different densities
- When two immiscible liquids are placed in separatory funnel visible there are two layers, the denser solvent settles as the bottom layer
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures
- A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
- Homogeneous mixtures have the same uniform appearance and composition throughout and maintain one phase
- Heterogeneous mixtures contain visibly different substances or phases and appear not uniform to the eye
Soluble and Insoluble
- Soluble substances can be dissolved in a given solvent
- Insoluble substances cannot be dissolved in a given solvent
Types of Solutions
- An unsaturated solution contains less solute than is present in a saturated solution at a specific temperature
- A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute for a given solvent at a specific temperature, the dissolved solute is at saturation point
- A supersaturated solution contains more solute than what would be present in a saturated solution at a specific temperature, the dissolved solute is above saturated point, and solute gathers at the bottom, forming crystals/precipitate
Solubility Curve
- The solubility curve show that a solution can be made saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated by changing the temperature
- Any point on the line represents a saturated solution, where the solvent is holding the maximum amount of solute
- A point below the line indicates the solvent contains less than the maximum amount of solute, the solution being unsaturated
- Any point above indicates a supersaturated solution, being very unstable where the amount in excess can precipitate or crystallize
Concentration of Solutions
- To calculate solution concentration use g/cm-³, g/dm³, mol dm³, %w/w, %w/v, or %v/v
Molarity
- Molarity measures the amount of solute per volume of solution
- Measured for solutions
- Unit = mol/L or mol/dm³ or M
Mass Concentration
- Measures mass of solute versus solution volume
- Unit is g/dm³ or g/cm³
Percentage Concentration
- Volume percent measures the volume of solute versus the volume of solution
- Mass percent measures the mass of solute versus the mass of solution
- Mass/volume percent measures the mass of solute versus the volume of solution
Dilution
- Dilution involves adding solvent to decrease solute concentration
Preparing Solutions
- Preparation involves standard solution, dilution, mass concentration, and percent concentration
