Chapter 13 - Solutions Flashcards
Ion-dipole
Must be strong enough to compete with ionic and hydrogen/d-d/LDF forces
Solution
Homogenous mixtures of two or more pure substances
How does a solution form
Solvent pulls solute particles apart and surrounds them
Three processes that affect energetics of solution
Separation of solute particles
Separation of solvent particles
New interactions between solvent and solute
Heat is absorbed in dissolution of NH4NO3 in water because
Increasing entropy leafs to lower energy of system
Saturated solution
Solvent holds as much solvent as possible. Dissolves solute is in dynamic equilibrium with solid solute particles
Unsaturated solution
Less solute than can dissolve in the solvent is dissolved
Supersaturated solution
Solvent holds more solute than normally possible (unstable)
Factors that affect solubility
Polar dissolves polar
Forces soluble by like forces
Gases in solution
Solubility of gas in water increases with mass
Larger molecules have stronger dispersion forces
Solubility of gas in liquid is directly proportional to its pressure
Henry’s law
Sg=kPa
Temperature
Solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvent increase with temperature.
Opposite for gas
Five ways of expressing concentration
Mass percentage Parts per million Mole fraction Molarity Molality
Colligative properties
Changes depend only on number of solute particles present
Ex: vapor pressure, boiling pt elevation, freezing pt depression, and osmotic pressure
Vapor pressure
Vapor pressure of a solution is lower than that of pure solvent b/c of solute solvent intermolecular attraction
