SOLUTIONS
Chapter 15
What are solutions?




Homogeneous mixtures containing two or more
substances called the solute and the solvent
Solute- is the substance that dissolves
Solvent- is the dissolving medium
May exist as a solid, liquid or gas (usually are liquids)




Soluble- A substance that dissolves in a solvent
Insoluble- A substance that does not dissolve in a
solvent (ex. Sand is insoluble in water)
Immiscible- Two liquids that are insoluble in each
other (ex. Oil and water)
Miscible- Two liquids that are soluble in each other
(ex. Vinegar (water + acetic acid) )
Examples of Solutions
Solvation in Aqueous Solutions

Why are some substances soluble in one another
whereas others are not?
 Solvation-
the process of surrounding solute
particles with solvent particles to form a solution
 Solvation
 “Likes
in water is called hydration
dissolve likes”
 This phrase means that polar solvents
dissolve polar solutes and nonpolar
solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
Oil- Non Polar
Water- Polar
Factors that affect the rate of solvation


Solvation occurs only when and where the solute
and solvent particles come in contact with each
other
Commons ways to increase the collisions
 Agitating
the mixture (stirring and shaking)
 Increasing the surface area of the solute (breaking the
solute into smaller pieces)
 Increasing the temperature of the solvent (increases the
kinetic energy)
Solubility

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of solute that
will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified
temperature and pressure
Saturated solution- contains the maximum amount of
dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific
temperature and pressure
 Unsaturated solution- contains less dissolved solute for a
given temperature and pressure than a saturated solution
 Supersaturated Solution- contains more dissolved solute
than a saturated solution at the same temperature (and if
you messed with the solution by shaking it or throwing in one
more crystal, the whole thing would crystallize rapidly!)

Supersaturated Sodium Acetate Solution
Factors that Affect Solubility

Temperature
 Many
substances are more
soluble at high temperatures
than at low temperatures

Pressure
 Solubility
of a gas in a
solvent increases as its
external pressure (the
pressure above the solution)
increases
Henry’s Law


At a given temperature, the solubility (S) of a gas in
a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure (P)
of the gas above the liquid.

pressure. What is the pressure on a 1.0-L sample
that contains 1.5 g of gas?
Solution Concentration


The concentration of a
solution is a measure of how
much is dissolved in a
specific amount of solvent or
solution
Qualitative Vocabulary

Dilute- contains a small amount of
solute
Concentrated- contains a large
amount of solute

Calculating Percent my Mass

What is the percent my mass of NaHCO3 in a
solution containing 20 g NaHCO3 dissolved in
600mL H2O?
Calculating Percent by Volume

What is the percent by volume of ethanol in a
solution that contains 35 mL of ethanol dissolved in
115 mL of water?
Calculating Molarity

What is the molarity of an aqueous solution
containing 40.0g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 1.5 L of
solution?
Preparing Molar Solutions
How many grams of NaOH are in 250mL of a 3.0M NaOH
solution?
Diluting Solutions
M1xV1=M2xV2
• M1 -- the initial concentration of the solution.
• V1 -- the initial volume of the original solution that is going
to be diluted with water.
• M2 -- the final concentration of the solution after it’s
diluted with water.
• V2 -- the total volume of the final solution after it has
been diluted with water.


What volume of a 3.00M KI stock solution would you use to
make 0.300 L of a 1.25M KI solution?
If you dilute 20.0 mL of a 3.5M solution to make 100.0 mL of
solution, what is the molarity of the dilute solution?

of napthalene dissolved in 500.0g of toluene?


An aqueous solution of NaCl has a mole fraction of
0.21. What is the mass of NaCl dissolved in
100.0mL of solution?
Colligative Properties of Solutions


Physical properties of solution that are affected the
number of particles but not the identity of dissolved
solute particles
Colligative Properties include:
 Vapor
Pressure Lowering
 Boiling Point Elevation
 Freezing Point Depression
 Osmotic Pressure
Vapor Pressure Lowering

The greater the number of solute particles in a
solvent, the lower the resulting vapor pressure
Boiling Point Elevation


The temperature difference between a solution’s
boiling point and a pure solvent’s boiling point
Formula: ∆Tb= Kbm
 Kb is
the molal boiling point elevation constant
 m is the molality
 The
value of the boiling point elevation is directly
proportional to the solution’s solute molality- the
greater the number of solute particles in the solution,
the greater the boiling point elevation
Freezing Point Depression


The temperature difference between a solution’s
freezing point and a pure solvent’s freezing point
Formula: ∆Tf= Kfm
 Kf is
the molal boiling point elevation constant
 m is the molality
 Increasing Temperature 

Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure


Osmosis is the diffusion of solvent particles across
a semipermeable membrane from an area of
higher solvent concentration to an area of lower
solvent concentration
Osmotic Pressure- the amount of additional
pressure caused by the water molecules that moved
into solution

Depends upon the number of solute particles in a given
volume of solution
