9. What are some characteristics of acids and bases?
Suppose you dissolve a
teaspoon of salt in a glass of
water. Is it possible to recover
the salt from the water?
Explain.

10. Section 1: Understanding Solutions
Standard 8.5.d Students know physical processes including freezing and boiling, in which a material changes form with no chemical reaction.

11. Section 1: Understanding Solutions
What are the characteristics of a solution?
A solution has the same properties throughout. It contains solute particles (molecules or ions) that are too small to see.
Solutions:
Contain a solvent, which dissolves the other substances
Contain at least 1 solute, which is dissolved by the solvent
Dissolving one substance into another is a physical change.
The substances retain their original properties.

12. Section 1: Understanding Solutions
What are the characteristics of a colloid?
A colloid contains larger particles than a solution. The particles are still too small to be seen easily, but are large enough to scatter a light beam.
Examples:
milk
fog
mayonnaise
whipped cream

13. Section 1: Understanding Solutions
What are the characteristics of a suspension?
A suspension does not have the same properties throughout. It contains visible particles that are larger than the particles in solutions or colloids.

14. Particles in a Solution
When a solution forms, particles of the solvent surround and separate the particles of the solute.

15. Effects of Solutes on Solvents
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent. Solute particles make it harder for water molecules to form crystals. Water molecules need more energy to boil when a solute is present.
Liquid water solution
Solid (frozen) water

Answer: C – lower than the freezing point of either substance alone.

18. Section 2: Concentration and Solubility
Standard 8.5.d Students know physical processes including freezing and boiling, in which a material changes form with no chemical reaction.

19. Concentration How is concentration measured?
To measure concentration, you compare the amount of solute to the total amount of solution.
A concentrated solution has a lot of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent.
A dilute solution has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent.
Concentration can be measured as the percent of solute in solution by volume or mass.

20. Calculating a Concentration
To calculate the concentration of a solution, compare the amount of solute to the amount of solution and multiply by 100 percent.
For example, if a solution contains 10 grams of solute dissolved in 100 grams of solution, then its concentration can be reported as 10 percent.

21. Calculating a Concentration

A solution contains 12 grams of solute dissolved in 36 grams of solution. What is the concentration of the solution?

22. Calculating a Concentration

24. Solubility
Solubility is a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
If you can continue to dissolve more solute, you still have an unsaturated solution.
If no more solute will dissolve, you have a saturated solution.

25. Factors Affecting Solubility
What factors affect the solubility of a substance?
Factors that affect the solubility of a substance include pressure, the type of solvent, and temperature.
An increase in pressure increases the solubility of gases.
Ionic and polar compounds usually dissolve in polar solvents – “like dissolves like”
The solubility of most solids increases as temperature increases.
Gases become less soluble in a liquid when the temperature of the liquid goes up.

29. Temperature and Solubility
Calculating:
About how much more soluble is KNO3 at 40ºC than at 20ºC?
KNO3 is about twice as soluble at 40ºC as it is at 20ºC.

30. Temperature and Solubility

Does solubility increase at the same rate with every 20ºC increase in temperature? Explain.
No; the curve shows that solubility increases more with each 20ºC increase in temperature.
