CH 12 - Solutions Flashcards
What is a thirsty solution?
a solution that draws more water to itself.
Sea water draws water from the body leading to dehydration.
Solution
a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances or components.
Solvent
the majority component in a solution
Solute
the minority component in a solution
In most solutions the particles of the solute interact with the particles of the solvent through ________.
IMFs
Substances tend to __________.
combine into uniform mixtures unless it is highly unfavorable energetically.
Aqueous Solution
water is the solvent and a solid, liquid, or gas is the solute.
Aqueous Solution examples
- Salt(solid) in seawater
- ethyl alcohol(liquid) in alcohol
- CO2(gas) in club soda
solid, liquid, and gas in water
3 types of common solutions
- Gaseous Solutions(gas with gas)
* Air - Liquid Solutions(liquid solvent with solid, liquid, or gas solute)
- seawater, vodka, club soda
- Solid Solutions(solid with solid)
- brass(copper and zinc) and other alloys
Solubility
the amount of the substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
What does solubility govern?
the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.
Is grease soluble in water?
Solubility is nearly 0 so no grease will not dissolve in water.
The formation of a solution ____________ the potential energy of its constituent particles.
does not necessarily lower
- most other interactions do(cations and anions want lower PE!)
The tendency for ideal gases to mix does not _______ PE but is related to ______,
lower
entropy
Entropy
a measure of the energy randomization or energy dispersal in a system.
Entropy:
What happens when Neon and Argon mix from two separated containers into one?
even though the two gases have low PE they mix and spread out, along with their kinetic energy, over the larger volume.
The mixture has greater energy dispersal, or greater Entropy, than the separated components.
Why do two ideal gases mix?
The pervasive tendency for energy to spread out, or disperse, whenever it is not restrained from doing so is the reason.
Entropy NOT PE in effect here.
- You heat an iron rod on one side but the entire rod becomes evenly hot
Does energy spontaneously concentrate?
No.
It will spontaneously spread out and disperse.
What is the fundamental criterion that ultimately determines the spontaneity of any process?
The dispersal of energy(entropy)
The formation or prevention of solutions is affected by _______.
IMF interaction
Solvent-Solute interactions > solvent-solvent and solute-solute interactions
solution forms
Solvent-Solute interactions = solvent-solvent and solute-solute interactions
Solution Forms
Solvent-Solute interactions < solvent-solvent and solute-solute interactions
may or may not form depending on how large the relative disparity is.
Yes a solution can form even if an energetically uphill battle.
Too large and no solution.
Solvent-solute interactions
the interactions between a solvent particle and a solute particle
Solvent-solvent interactions
the interactions between a solvent particle and another solvent particle
Solute-Solute interactions
the interactions between a solute particle and another solute particle
Miscible
the ability of two substances to mix without separating
Miscibility is governed by _______.
the IMFs between the solute-solvent, solute-solute, and solvent-solvent interactions
Miscibility:
solute-solvent, solute-solute, and solvent-solvent interactions are the same same type of IMFs(polar with polar etc) then ______.
they are the same magnitude and the substances are soluble in all proportions.
Miscibility:
solute-solvent, solute-solute, and solvent-solvent interactions are more strong with their own type then ______.
they may still be soluble even if energetically uphill assuming the difference isnt too large.
- H2O H bonds are too strong to be overcome by weak hexane IMFs and no solution would be formed.
Common Laboratory Solvents:
Polar
o H2O(water) o CH3COCH3(Acetone) o CH3OH(methanol) o CH3CH2OH(ethanol)
Common Laboratory Solvents:
Nonpolar
o C6H14(Hexane) o CH3CH2OCH2CH3(diethyl ether) has a small dipole moment and can be considered intermediate between polar and nonpolar o C7H8(Toluene) o CCl4(carbon tetrachloride)
3 steps in the formation of a solution
- Separating the solute into its constituent particles
- separating the solvent particles from each other to make room for the solute particles
- mixing the solute particles with the solvent particles
3 steps in the formation of a solution:
- Separating the solute into its constituent particles
Endothermic(deltaH is +)
energy is required to overcome the forces that hold the solute particles together
3 steps in the formation of a solution:
- separating the solvent particles from each other to make room for the solute particles
Endothermic(deltaH is +)
energy is required to overcome the IMFs among the solvent particles
3 steps in the formation of a solution:
- mixing the solute particles with the solvent particles
Exothermic(deltaH is -)
Energy is released as the solute particles interact(through IMFs) with the solvent particles.
Hess law and the enthalpy of solution (deltaHsoln)
the sum of the changes in enthalpy from each step of the formation of a solution.
deltaHsoln = deltaHsolute(endothermic +) + deltaHsolvent(endothermic +) + deltaHmix(exothermic -)
The overall reaction can be endo or exothermic based on the magnitudes of the individual terms
Hess law and the enthalpy of solution (deltaHsoln):
3 outcomes to a solution formation
- If the sum of the endothermic terms is approximately equal in magnitude to the exothermic term then deltaHsoln = 0
- solution formed
- Endothermic < exothermic magnitude then deltaHsoln = -
- solution formed
- Endothermic>exothermic magnitude then deltaHsoln = +
- solution may or may not form
Hess law and the enthalpy of solution (deltaHsoln):
3 outcomes to a solution formation:
o If the sum of the endothermic terms is approximately equal in magnitude to the exothermic term then deltaHsoln = 0
Entropy drives the mixing of a solution however overall energy remains nearly constand
Hess law and the enthalpy of solution (deltaHsoln):
3 outcomes to a solution formation:
o Endothermic < exothermic magnitude then deltaHsoln = -
Tendency towards lower energy and greater entropy drive formation of a solution
Hess law and the enthalpy of solution (deltaHsoln):
3 outcomes to a solution formation:
o Endothermic>exothermic magnitude then deltaHsoln = +
As long as deltaHsoln is not too large then the tendency to greater entropy drives the formation of a solution. deltaHsoln too large then no solution forms
Heat of Hydration(deltaHhydration)
in an aqueous solution, the deltaHsolvent and deltaHmix can be combined into a single term.
- the enthalpy change that occurs when 1 mol of the gaseous solute ions is dissolved in water
Heat of Hydration(deltaHhydration) is ________.
always largely negative(exothermic) for ionic compounds because the ion-dipole interactions between a dissolved ion and the surrounding water molecules are much stronger than the hbonds of water.
with Heat of Hydration
deltaHsoln =
deltaHsolute(+) + (deltaHsolvent + deltaHmix[combined term = deltaHhydration exothermic and -])
For ionic compounds the deltaHsolute is the __________.
negative of the solutes lattice energy

o The amount of energy required to separate the solute into its constituent ions is less than the energy given off from the hydration of ions
o deltaHsoln = exothermic and negative
feels warm to the touch
\deltaHsolute\ > \DeltaHhydration\
o The amount of energy required to separate the solute into its constituent ions is greater than the energy given off from the hydration of ions
o If a solution forms at all then deltaHsoln = endothermic and +
