What is a Solution?

Solution homogeneous mixture Solvent substance present in largest amount Solutes other substances in the solution Aqueous solution solution with water as the solvent

Various Types of Solutions

Solubility of Ionic Substances

Ionic substances breakup into individual cations and anions.

Solubility of Ionic Substances

Polar water molecules interact with the positive and negative ions of a salt.

Solubility of Polar Substances

Ethanol is soluble in water because of the polar OH bond.

Solubility of Polar Substances

Why is solid sugar soluble in water?

Substances Insoluble in Water

Nonpolar oil does not interact with polar water. Water-water hydrogen bonds keep the water from mixing with the nonpolar molecules.

How Substances Dissolve

A hole must be made in the water structure for each solute particle. The lost water-water interactions must be replaced by water-solute interactions. like dissolves like

Concept Check Which of the following solutes will generally not dissolve in the specified solvent? Choose the best answer. (Assume all of the compounds are in the liquid state.) a) b) c) d) CCl4 mixed with water (H2O) NH3 mixed with water (H2O) CH3OH mixed with water (H2O) N2 mixed with methane (CH4)

11

The solubility of a solute is limited. Saturated solution contains as much solute as will dissolve at that temperature. Unsaturated solution has not reached the limit of solute that will dissolve.

12

Supersaturated solution occurs when a solution is saturated at an elevated temperature and then allowed to cool but all of the solid remains dissolved. Contains more dissolved solid than a saturated solution at that temperature. Unstable adding a crystal causes precipitation.

13

Solutions are mixtures. Amounts of substances can vary in different solutions. Specify the amounts of solvent and solutes. Qualitative measures of concentration concentrated relatively large amount of solute dilute relatively small amount of solute

mass of solute Mass percent = 100% mass of solution grams of solute Mass percent = 100% grams of solute + grams of solvent

Exercise

[5.5 g / (5.5 g + 78.2 g)] 100 = 6.6% glucose

16

Molarity (M) = moles of solute per volume of solution in liters:

moles of solute M = Molarity = liters of solution 3 M HCl = 6 moles of HCl 2 liters of solution

17

Exercise

You have 1.00 mol of sugar in 125.0 mL of solution. Calculate the concentration in units of molarity. 8.00 M
1.00 mol / (125.0 / 1000) = 8.00 M

18

Exercise

A 500.0-g sample of potassium phosphate is dissolved in enough water to make 1.50 L of solution. What is the molarity of the solution? 1.57 M
500.0 g is equivalent to 2.355 mol K3PO4 (500.0 g / 212.27 g/mol). The molarity is therefore 1.57 M (2.355 mol/1.50 L).
19

Exercise

Exercise

Consider separate solutions of NaOH and KCl made by dissolving 100.0 g of each solute in 250.0 mL of solution. Calculate the concentration of each solution in units of molarity. 10.0 M NaOH
[100.0 g NaOH / 39.998 g/mol] / [250.0 / 1000] = 10.0 M NaOH

5.37 M KCl
[100.0 g KCl / 74.55 g/mol] / [250.0 / 1000] = 5.37 M KCl

21

Concept Check
You have two HCl solutions, labeled Solution A and Solution B. Solution A has a greater concentration than Solution B. Which of the following statements are true?

a)
b)

c)

d)

If you have equal volumes of both solutions, Solution B must contain more moles of HCl. If you have equal moles of HCl in both solutions, Solution B must have a greater volume. To obtain equal concentrations of both solutions, you must add a certain amount of water to Solution B. Adding more moles of HCl to both solutions will make them less concentrated.

25

Notice

The solution with the greatest number of ions is not necessarily the one in which: the volume of the solution is the largest. the formula unit has the greatest number of ions.

To Make a Standard Solution Weigh out a sample of solute. Transfer to a volumetric flask. Add enough solvent to mark on flask.

28

The process of adding water to a concentrated or stock solution to achieve the molarity desired for a particular solution. Dilution with water does not alter the numbers of moles of solute present. Moles of solute before dilution = moles of solute after dilution M1V1 = M2V2
