Chapter 8- Solutions Flashcards
Solution
A homogenous mixture that consists of one or more solutes uniformly dispersed at the molecular or ionic level through a medium known as the solvent
Present in larger amount
Solvent
Present in smaller amount
Solute
What is a mole?
The amount of substance calculated by molecular weight in grams
Molality (m)
Moles of solute/ kg solvent
Molarity (M)
Moles solute/ L solution
Mole fraction (x)
Moles 1/ moles 1 + moles 2 +…
Weight percent
(Grams solute/ g solution) x 100%
Parts per million (ppm)
Grams solute/ 10^6 g solution
Or
Mg solute/ L solution
Parts per billion (ppb)
Grams solute/10^9 g solution
Or
micrograms solute/ L solution
Solubility
Amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent
Saturated
A solution that contains the maximum amount of a solute, as defined by it’s solubility
Supersaturated
A solution contains more solute than allowed by the solubility
Miscible
Two solutions are miscible if they are soluble in each other in all proportions
Polar solutes more soluble in?
Polar solvents
Like dissolves like
🔼H°solution
The enthalpy (measure of energy in thermodynamic system) change that accompanies dissolution of 1 mole of substance
Sum of lattice energy and salvation energy
Lattice energy
The energy released when molecules or ions settle into crystalline lattice
Exothermic
Solvation energy
(Hydration)
The energy released when an ion (or molecules) settles into a sphere of solvent molecules
Exothermic
As partial pressure increases in gases, solubility…
Increases
Effects of temperature on solubility
Gaseous solute: temp increases, solubility decreases
(Warm soda, carbon dioxide less soluble and comes bubbling out)
Liquid & solid: temp increases, solubility increases
Raoult’s Law
Vapor pressure of a solution
P(solution) = X(solvent) x P°(solvent)
As vapor pressure goes down, boiling point…
Goes up
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through semipermeable membrane from a solution of low solute concentration to high solute concentration
Osmolarity
The concentration of osmotically active particles in a solution
= # of particles in solution (g) x concentration (C mol/L)
Osmotic pressure increases when solute concentration…
Increases
Oncotic pressure
Osmotic pressure created by plasma proteins (albumin) [25mmHg]
Pushes fluid inside the capillaries
Effects of solutions on cell volume
Isotonic (0.9% NS)- no change
Hypertonic (3% NS)- cell shrinks
Hypotonic (0.45% NS)- cell swells
Osmotic pressure
Results from potential drive for the concentration of water to equalize
A 1.0M solution of glucose exerts an osmotic pressure of 22.4atm at 25°C
Tyndall effect
Scattering of light by colloidal particles
Ex) blood, milk, jelly
