SOLUTIONSA solution is a homogeneous mixture; particles are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.• Proportions may vary• Uniform ratio throughout the mixtureA liquid solution is clear. The particles are not visible, do not settle, and can not be filtered.A solution differs from a suspension in that the particles of a suspension are visible, can be filtered, and settle. A solution differs from a colloid in that the particles of a colloid exhibit Tyndall effect., yet do not settle. (TYNDALL effect: the scattering of light by particles such as headlights in fog, flashlight through Jello or dilute milk)A solution will not exhibit the Tyndall effect.

One substance dissolved in another◦Solute: the substance being dissolved◦Solvent: the substance that dissolves

the solute Sugar is the SOLUTE (smaller quantity) Water is the SOLVENT (larger quantity)

Types of SolutionsGas (solvent is gas)

◦ Gas into Gas: air◦ Liquid into Gas: humidity◦ Solid into Gas: air pollution

Liquid (solvent is liquid)◦ Gas into Liquid: pop◦ Liquid into Liquid: vinegar◦ Solid into Liquid: sweet tea

Solid (solvent is solid)◦ Gas into Solid: absorbent charcoal◦ Liquid into Solid: dental fillings◦ Solid into Solid: alloys of metal

The Dissolving ProcessTwo factors affect the dissolving

process: dissolution◦The constant motion of the particles

(There’s that good old kinetic molecular theory again!)

◦The polarity of the solute and solvent (Recall that polarity is when a compound has partial charges because of uneven distribution of charges)

Steps of the Dissolving Process1. Moving solvent particles cluster

around solute molecules or particles at the surface of the solid.

2. Solvent molecules pull solute off of the solid surface and into solution.

3. Moving solvent particles continue to spread solute evenly throughout the solution,

The process repeats itself as fresh layers of the solute are exposed.

1. Solvent particles cluster around solute particles at the surface.

2. Solvent particles pull solute particles away from surface, into solution.

3. Moving solute particles continue to spread solute evenly through solution.

MOLECULAR

1. Solvent particles cluster around solute particles at the surface.

2. Solvent particles pull solute particles away from surface, into solution.

3. Moving solute particles continue to spread solute evenly through solution.

IONIC

IONIC COMPOUNDSWhen an ionic substance dissolves in

water, the forces of the solvent pulling on the ions is stronger than the forces holding the ions together.

The ions separate. This is called DISSOCIATION

Because charged ions are present in an ionic solution, ionic solutions conduct electricity and are called ELECTROLYTES.

EXAMPLE: NaCl

MOLECULAR COMPOUNDSCertain polar substances form

ions when they dissolve in water. This process is called IONIZATION.

Because ions are formed, the solution conducts electricity.

These substance are also ELECTROLYTES.

EXAMPLE: HCl, HC2H3O2

MOLECULAR COMPOUNDSOther polar substances do not

ionize in water.Because ions are not formed, the

solution does not conduct electricity.

These substances that do not ionize in water and do not conduct electricity are called NON-ELECTROLYTES.

EXAMPLE: sugar

ELECTROLYTES: substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water

Ionic substances that separate into ions (dissociate) or polar molecular substances that form ions (ionization) when dissolved conduct electricity and are called ELECTROLYTES.

ReviewA substance whose water

solutions do not conduct electricity is a non-electrolyte.◦Many covalent compounds

A substance that separates into ions (dissociates) or forms ions (ionizes) in a water solution conducts electricity and is called an electrolyte◦All ionic and some covalent

FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE RATE OF DISSOLUTION

Think BIGRecall the Pop and Mentos experiment!

The pop “explodes” because the dissolved gas rapidly leaves the solution because the

candy gives it surfaces to collect on (nucleation sites).

ART and SCIENCE

SolubilityThere are limits to the amount of

solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature

There are some general terms:◦Unsaturated◦Saturated◦Super-saturated

Unsaturateda solution that can dissolve more

of a given solute at a certain temperature◦A crystal of solute added to an

unsaturated solution will dissolve When you add a second spoon of sugar

to your cup of tea, it dissolves. The tea was an unsaturated solution.

Saturateda solution that has dissolved all of the

solute that it can at a certain temperature◦ A crystal of solute added to a saturated

solution will drop to the bottom, un-dissolved. When you add three spoons of sugar to your tea,

some sugar drops to the bottom, undissolved. It is a saturated solution.

DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM exists: ◦ changing but balanced.◦ Some solid dissolves, but as some

dissolves, some re-crystallizes

Super-saturatedan unstable solution that contains

more solute than a saturated solution at a certain temperature◦ A crystal of solute added to a super-

saturated solution will cause crystallization. So will any disruption of the unstable solution.

◦ Make a saturated solution at an elevated temperature and cool it slowly. At the lower temperature, the solute will remain dissolved in an unstable situation. If disrupted, the solute crystallizes. Hot-packs and rock candy

MolarityM = mol solute/liter of solution

Chemists use this because it lets us work concentration into stoichiometry problems

SEE EXAMPLE PROBLEMS

Molalitym = mol solute/kg of solvent

Chemists sometimes use this because volume of liquids changes with temperature. Soon, we will be studying the effect of concentration as temperature changes.

SEE EXAMPLE PROBLEMS

Dilutions: a concentrated solution is diluted by adding more solvent to get the desired concentration. M1V1 = M2V2

Moles before dilution = Moles after

dilution◦M = molarity = mol/L◦V = volume = L◦M x V = mol/L x L = # mol of solute

Dilutions: a concentrated solution is diluted by adding more solvent to get the desired concentration.

The # of moles before dilution is equal to the # of moles after dilution. The same # of moles is present in more solvent. The concentration (M, molarity) changes, the volume (V) changes, but not the # of moles of solute (M x V). ◦ Volume units may vary from L, but must be consistent

within problem.So, M1V1 = M2V2
