The Solution
Process
Chemistry
Mrs. Coyle
Solution
A homogeneous mixture.
Stainless Steel (Fe, Cr, Ni)
 One phase.

Solute, Solvent
• Solute—the substance being dissolved.
• Example: When you dissolve CuCl2 in
water, CuCl2 is the solute.
• Solvent- the substance that dissolves the
solute.
• Example: water
Aqueous Solution
• A solution that has water as the solvent.
• Possible substances that can dissolve in
water:

Ionic compounds
 Polar covalent compounds
Solvation

The surrounding of solute particles by
solvent particles.
Dissociation of Ionic Compounds

the process by which an ionic compound
separates into its ions as it dissolves.

Yes
Polar ethanol molecule is dissolved by
the polar water molecule. Ethanol
remains intact.
Will sugar dissolve in water?
Will petroleum dissolve in water?
Oil on water- 2 phases
Will ionic compounds conduct
electric current when dissolved in
water?

Yes

Why?
Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes

Electrolytes: conduct an electric current
when in the molten state or in aqueous
solution. Ionic compounds

Non-electrolytes do not conduct a current.
Usually molecular compounds
Is sugar C6H12O6 electrolyte?
Do all electrolytes conduct
electricity to the same degree?

Weak electrolytes: partially ionize in water
and conduct electricity in solution poorly
(ex. Ammonia)

Strong electrolytes: fully ionize in water
and conduct electricity in solution
strongly(ex. NaCl).
Hydrate:

A crystalline compound in which the
ions are attached to one or more
water molecules.
Example:
 CuSO4•5H2O
 copper(II)
sulfate pentahydrate
Prefixes for naming Hydrates
 mono-
1
 di2
 tri3
 tetra- 4
 penta- 5
 hexa-
6
 hepta- 7
 octa- 8
 nona- 9
 deca- 10

Problem



Calculate the percent by mass of water in
washing soda (Na2CO3 . 10 H2O)
% mass of H2O = MM water x100 %
MM Hydrate
Answer: 62.9%
Efflorescent Hydrates
Hydrates that have high vapor pressures
compared to water.
 When the vapor pressure of the
surrounding is lower than the vapor
pressure of the hydrate, the hydrate will
lose its water; it effloresces.

Hygroscopic Hydrates and
Dessicants
Hydrates that have a low vapor pressure
compared to water.
 These hydrates can absorb water from the
air.
 These can be used as dessicants (ex.
CaSO4).

Deliquescent

Materials that absorb so much water that
they will become wet (form solutions). Ex.
NaOH.
Part II Heterogeneous Aqueous
Systems
Colloids and Suspensions

Heterogeneous Mixtures
Suspension
 A mixture
whose particles are
temporarily suspended in a
medium, but eventually settle
down.
 Particle size>100nm
 Ex: dust in air.
Colloid
A
mixture whose particles (of size ~1 to
~100nm) are dispersed through a
continuous medium. (The word colloid
means “glue-like”)
 Heterogeneous
because there are
distinct phases.
 Tyndall
Effect: Scattering of light.

Types of Colloids
 Aerosol:
liquid or solid in dispersed in
gases (fog, smoke).
 Foam: gas in liquid (whipped cream).
 Emulsion: both substances are liquids
(mayonnaise).
 Sol: solid in liquid (jelly)
