Aqueous Solutions Solution: Homogeneous mixture; solid liquid, or gas Soluble: Capable of being dissolved Solute: Substance that is dissolved, present in lesser amounts Solvent: Dissolving medium; present in greater amounts

Types of Mixtures Solutions: particles < 1nm; cannot be seen; no scattering of light (salt water) Suspensions: particles > 100 nm; settle to the bottom (sand & water) Colloids: particles nm; suspended throughout the medium; exhibit Tyndall effect Tyndall Effect: Scattering of light so that the beam of light can be seen like headlights in fog; seen in colloids

Hydration Hydrates: ionic compounds with water molecules in their structure specific ratios of water to compound heating can drive off the water and leave the anhydrous salt CuSO 4 5H 2 O (copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate

Hydrates Effloresce: If a hydrate has a vapor pressure greater than water vapor, than it will lose its water of hydration Hygroscopic: Hydrated salts that have a low vapor pressure remove water from moist air to form higher hydrates Used as drying agents or desiccants Silica gel Deliquescent: remove sufficient water from the air to dissolve completely and form solutions

Types of Solutes Electrolytes: Conduct an electric current when dissolved All Ionic Compounds Polar Molecules when dissolved in water (ionized) Weak Electrolyte: fraction of the solute exist as ions Strong Electrolyte: almost all of the solute exist as separate ions Nonelectrolytes: Do not conduct an electric current when dissolved Covalent compounds Polar Molecules in a pure state

Dissociation Sodium Chloride: NaCl (s)  Na +1 (aq) + Cl -1 (aq) Magnesium nitrate: Mg(NO 3 ) 2(s)  Mg +2 (aq) + 2NO 3 -1 (aq) Dissociation is the “breaking apart” of ions as an ionic compound dissolves in water.

Factors Affecting Rate of Dissolution Surface Area: Greater surface area (smaller particle size) = faster dissolution Agitation: stirring = faster dissolution Heating: generally means faster dissolution

Like Dissolves Like The polarity of water molecules plays an important role in the formation of solutions of ionic compounds and other polar compounds in water. The positive ends of the water molecules attract negative ions (dipoles) and the negative ends of water molecules attract positive ions (dipoles), pulling them from the surface of the crystal.

Miscible/Immiscible Nonpolar molecules do not attract ions of crystalline solids strongly enough to overcome forces holding them together and therefore cannot dissolve polar or ionic compounds. Miscible : Two liquids mix; soluble in one another (Ex: Ethanol & Water) Immiscible: Do not mix; insoluble in one another (Ex: Oil & Water)

Relative Concentration Concentration: a measure of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent Unsaturated: Less than the theoretical amount of solute is dissolved; there is room to dissolve more Saturated: The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a certain temperature has been reached Supersaturated: More than the theoretical amount of solute is dissolved in solvent at a given temperature

Solubility/Recrystallization Solubility: A measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature Dilute Solution: The amount of solute dissolved is small in relation to the amount of solvent present. Concentrated Solution: The amount of solute dissolved is large in relation to the amount of solute present. At the same time substances are breaking apart, there are also particles attracted to each other and remaining together – RECRYSTALLIZATION Solution Equilibrium: Rate of dissolution = Rate of recrystallization

Saturation Curve °C g / 100 mL SupersaturatedSaturated Unsaturated Changing the temperature of a solvent can have an effect on solubility!!

Gas Solubility Henry’s Law: S 1 /P 1 = S 2 / P 2 The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid. Open a can of pop!! Carbon dioxide is forced into solution of flavored water at 5-10 atm. Effervescence: The FIZZING that happens when you open the pop; the release of gas from a solution

Colligative Properties Depend only on the number of particles dissolved in a given mass of solvent Vapor Pressure Lowering Boiling Point Elevation Freezing Point Depression

Vapor Pressure Lowering A nonvolatile solute has a lower vapor pressure than a pure solvent As solutes are added the equilibrium is disrupted and solvent particles form shells around the solute particles. This reduces the number of free solvent particles able to escape the liquid. Equilibrium is eventually re- established at a lower vapor pressure Decrease in VP is proportional to the number of particles the solute makes in solution Solute that disassociate in large #s have a greater effect of VP

Boiling Point Elevation The difference in temperature between the boiling point of a solution & that of a pure solvent Boiling points of solutions are higher than that of pure solvents The presence of solutes increase BP Additional KE is required for particles to overcome the attractive forces that keep them in liquid Boiling Point elevation (ΔT b ): directly proportional to the molal concentration ΔT b α m ΔT b = K b x m

Freezing Point Depression The Difference in temperature between the freezing point of a solution and that of the pure solvent More KE must be withdrawn from a solution than from a pure solution to solidify Freezing Point Depression (Δ T f ): directly proportional to the molal concentration Δ T f = K f x m
