FORMATION OF SOLUTIONS
Formation of Solutions
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or
more substances, consisting of ions or
molecules.
For a solution to form, one substance must
dissolve in another.
Solute and Solvent
Too simplify:
What two things make up a solution?
A solute and a solvent.
What is a solute?
Something that gets dissolved in a solvent.
What is a solvent?
Something that dissolves a solute.
Types of Solutions
Solutions may exist as gases, liquids, or
solids.
The solute is the dissolved substance. In
the case of a solution of a gas or solid in a
liquid, it is the gas or solid. Otherwise, it is
the component of lesser amount.
The solvent is the dissolving medium.
Generally it is the component of greater
amount.

Substances Dissolving in Water
Three Ways:
Dissociation
Dispersion
Ionization
Dissociation
Ionic compounds
metal + nonmetal (Binary and Multivalent)
metal + polyatomic anion
polyatomic cation + anion
When ionic compounds dissolve in water the
anions and cations are separated from each
other; this is called dissociation
We know that ionic compounds dissociate
when they dissolve in water because the
solution conducts electricity
Dispersion of Molecular Compounds
Sugar dissolves in water by dispersion, or
breaking into small pieces that spread
throughout the water.
A substance dissolves in water by breaking up
into smaller pieces. These pieces of the same
substance spread throughout the water. This
process is known as dispersion.
Ionization of Molecular Compounds
The process in which neutral molecules gain
or lose electrons is known as ionization.
Unlike dissociation and dispersion, which are
physical changes, dissolving by ionization is a
chemical change. The solution that results
contains new substances.
Properties of Liquid Solutions
Three physical properties of a solution that
can differ from those of its solute and solvent
are:
Conductivity
Freezing Point
Boiling Point
.
Conductivity
The current is carried by dissolved ions
The ability of an ion to carry current is a
function of:
Ions charge (more charge, more current)
Ions mass or size (larger ions, conduct less)
Freezing Point
Freezing Point Depression
Lowering the freezing point of a solution
as a result of the dissolved solute
The presence of solute particles affects
how the solvent freezes.
Boiling Point
Boiling Point Elevation
Raising the boiling point of a substance by
adding solute
Heat of Solution
During the formation of a solution, energy is either released or
absorbed.
Like chemical reaction, the solution process can be described as
exothermic or endothermic.
Dissolving sodium hydroxide in water is exothermic because it
releases heat. Dissolving ammonium nitrate is endothermic
because it absorbs heat.
In order for a solution to form, both the attractions among
solute particles and the attractions among solvent particles
must be broken.
In an exothermic reaction, the amount of energy required to
break the attractions among the solute particles and among
the solvent particles is less than the energy released as
attractions form between solute and solvent particles.
Heat of Solution
In an exothermic reaction, the amount of energy
required to break the attractions among the
solute particles and among the solvent particles
is less than the energy released as attractions
form between solute and solvent particles.
The formation of attractions releases energy.
The difference between these energies is
known as the heat of solution.
Factors Affecting Rates of Dissolving
Like rates of chemical reactions, rates of
dissolving depend on the frequency and energy
of collisions that occur between very small
particles.
During a chemical reaction, collisions occur
between particles of the reactants.
During the formation of a solution, collisions
occur between particles of the solute and
solvent.
Factors that affect the rate of dissolving include
surface area, stirring, and temperature.
Factors Affecting Rates of Dissolving
Temperature
If we heat particles they will move faster
The solvent will carry the solute particles away
faster
So… Hotter Faster
Factors Affecting Rates of Dissolving
Stirring or Shaking
Stirring or shaking a solution moves the solute
particles around so that they are closer to
water particles
the water particles can then attract them
easily and carry them away!
So…. Dissolve Faster
Factors Affecting Rates of Dissolving
Surface Area
When broken into small particles
the water particles can then attract them
easily and carry them away!
When solute is broken up, there is more
surface area where dissolving can occur
So…smaller surface area faster dissolves
