Chapter 14: Solutions Flashcards
Solution
Homogenous mixture of two or more substances
Solvent
Major component in solution
Solute
Minor component in solution
Aqueous Solution
- Water is solvent
Solubility
Amount of substance that will dissolve in given amount of solute
Entropy
- Measure of energy randomization/dispersal in a system - Tendency is for energy to spread out/disperse whenever unrestrained
Intermolecular Forces
- Dispersion: Weak - Dipole-Dipole: Separation of charges lead to electrostatic attraction - Hydrogen bond: Observe what H is bonded to; different in electronegativity - Ion dipole: Electrostatic force between ion and neutral molecule with dipole
Solution Interactions
- Solute-Solvent: Interactions between solvent particles and solute particles - Solvent-Solvent: Interactions between solvent particle and another solvent particle
Interactions and Formation
- Solvent-Solute > Solvent Solvent and Solute-Solute Interactions = Solution Formation - Solvent-Solute = Solvent-Solvent and Solute-Solute = Solution formation - Solvent-Solute < Solvent-Solvent and Solute-Solute = may or may not form
Polar Solvent Examples
- Water, acetone, methanol, ethanol
Non polar solvent examples
- hexane, diethyl ether, toluene, carbon tetrachloride
Hess’s Law
Overall enthalpy change upon solution formation is sum of enthalpy ∆Hsoln = ∆Hsolute + ∆Solvent + ∆Hmix (endothermic) - If ∆Hmix is more than the remaining, heat of solution is negative (exothermic)
Heat of Hydration
- Enthalpy change when 1 mol of gaseous solute ions are dissolve in H2O - Typically negative ∆Hsoln = ∆Hsolute + ∆Hydration - Take absolute value of ∆Hsoln and ∆Hhydration to compare; if solute is more, amount of E to separate solute into constituent ions is less than energy given off when an ion is hydrate (process is exothermic)
Dynamic Equilibrium
- Rates of dissolution and recrystallization become equal
Saturated solution
- Solution in which dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with solid solute (undissolved)
Unsaturated solution
Solution containing less than equilibrium amount of solute
Supersaturated solution
One containing more than equilibrium amount of solute; often unstable and excess solute precipitates out
Effect of temperature on solids in H2O?
- Solubility of most solids in water increases with increasing temperature
Factors affecting solubility of gases in H2O?
- Temperature: Solubility of gases in liquids decrease with increasing temperature - Pressure: Higher the pressure of a gas above a liquid, the more soluble it becomes
Henry’s Law
Sgas = kHpgas
Dilute solution
Contains small quantities of solute relative to amount of solvent
Concentrated solution
Contains large quantities of solute relative to amount of solvent
Molarity
(M) amount of solute (mol) / volume solution (L)
Molality
(m) amount solute (mol) / mass solvent (kg) - Temperature independent
Mole fraction (X)
amount solute (mol) / total amount solute + solvent (mol)
Mole %
amount solute (mol) / total amount solute + solvent (mol) x 100%
Parts by mass
mass solute / mass solution x multiplication factor
Colligative properties
Properties that depend on number of particles dissolve in solution
Vapor Pressure Lowering
VP of liquid = P of gas above the liquid when the two are in dynamic equilibrium
Raoult’s Law
Psolution = XsolventP˚solvent
Two Component Solution
PA = XAP˚A
PB = XbP˚B
Total Pressure = Ptot = PA + PB
Nonideal Solution
- Solute-solvent interactions are either stronger or weaker than solvent-solvent interactions
- If solute-solvent stronger: Solute tends to prevent solvent from vaporizing readily
- Solution is dilute: Effect = small
- Solution is not dilute = effect is significant
Freezing Point Depression
∆Tf = m x Kf
- Tf = change in temp in celsius
- m = molality
- Kf = freezing point depression
Osmosis
- Flow of one solvent from solution of lower solute concentration to one of higher concentration
Semipermeable Membrane
- Membrane that selectively allows some substances to pass through but not others
Osmotic Pressure Equation
π = MRT
- M - molarity
- T - Temperature in Kelvin
- R - Ideal gas constant (0.08206…)
van Hoff Factor
- (i) Ratio of moles of particles in solution to moles of formula units dissolved
i = moles of particles in soln. / moles formula units
van Hoff Factor Equations
∆Tf = im x Kf
∆Tb = im x Kb
π = iMRT
