    Study Notes

    Types of Solutions

    • Saturated Solutions: Contain the maximum solute that can dissolve; no more solute can be added.
    • Unsaturated Solutions: Can still dissolve more solute; located below the solubility curve.
    • Supersaturated Solutions: Unstable solutions with excess solute dissolved; typically have undissolved solute at the bottom; positioned above the solubility curve.

    Solubility Curves

    • The solubility curve visually represents how solubility of a substance varies with temperature.
    • Temperature Effect: Solubility generally increases with increased temperature; decreasing temperature causes dissolved solids to crystallize as solubility decreases.

    Particle Behavior in States of Matter

    • Solid State: Particles are closely packed in an ordered arrangement (lattice); movement is limited to vibrations.
    • Liquid State: Particles are in a random, irregular arrangement and can move past one another, maintaining close proximity.
    • Gas State: Particles are far apart, move randomly and rapidly, and occupy available space, causing pressure.

    Phase Changes and Interconversions

    • Boiling & Evaporation: Transition from liquid to gas; achieved by adding heat to overcome intermolecular forces.
    • Melting & Freezing: Transition between solid and liquid involving temperature change and energy absorption or release.
    • Condensation & Sublimation: Change from gas to liquid or solid, respectively; energy exchange plays a crucial role in these transitions.

    Energy of Particles in Different States

    • Solid: Low energy, particles have fixed positions.
    • Liquid: Moderate energy, allowing particles to flow past each other.
    • Gas: High energy, leading to rapid and random motion.

    Diffusion

    • Definition: The process of particles moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
    • Influenced by particle size, temperature, and concentration gradient.
    • Brownian Motion: Random movement of particles in a fluid, contributing to diffusion.
    • Example: Potassium permanganate diffuses in water, showing gradual color spread due to constant movement of molecules.

    Diffusion Experiment with Gases

    • Reacting Gases: Ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) diffusing in a tube create a white smoke ring of ammonium chloride where they meet.
    • Speed of diffusion correlates with molar mass; lighter gases diffuse faster, forming distinct patterns in diffusion experiments.
