L.11 Solubility Flashcards
What is a Solution?
Solutions are homogenous mixtures composed of two or more substances
Four combinations of solutions
- Gasses into Liquids (carbonating soda)
- Liquids into Liquids (Ethanol in water)
- Solids into Solids (Metal alloys)
- Gases into Gases (“Mixtures” not solutions)
Definition of SOLVATION, also known as DISSOLUTION.
Solvent particles surround solute particles via electrostatic interactions in a process called solvation or dissolution.
What is HYDRATION?
When H2O is the SOLVENT in a Solution.
What are Intramolecular & intermolecular & forces?
Intramolecular forces
are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule.
Intermolecular forces
are forces that exist between molecules.
Relative strength of the intramolecular forces ( 4 Forces)
Intramolecular force Basis of formation Relative strength
Metallic bond Metal cations to delocalized electrons 1. strongest
Ionic bond Cations to anions 2
Polar covalent bond Partially charged cation to partially charged anion. 3
Nonpolar covalent bond Nuclei to shared electrons 4, weakest
Relative Strenght of the Intermolecular Forces ( 3 Forces)
Intermolecular force Occurs between Relative strength
Dipole-dipole Partially oppositely charged ions. Strong
Hydrogen bonding. H atom and O, N/ or F atom Strongest of dipole-dipole attractions
London dispersion Temporary or induced dipoles Weakest
Happening between Solutes & Solvents
Explain what happens when dissolution is,
- Exothermic
- Endothermic
- No change
Exothermic; New interactions are Stronger. Favored at LOW Temp
Endothermic; New interactions are Weaker. Favored at High Temp
(Heat must be added “ Sugar + Hot Tea”)
No Change; New interactions = Old interactions
(enthalpy change close to 0, IDEAL SOLUTIONS)
The spontaneity if a dissolution depends on?
Enthalpy & Entropy
At constant Temperature and pressure, Entropy always increases upon dissolution.
Spontaneous RXNS = Decrease in Free Energy
(spontaneous messy room = no energy needed)
NON-Spontaneous RXNS = Increase in Free Energy
(non-spontaneous messy room = energy needed)
What is the definition of Solubility?
Molar Solubility?
Saturated Solutions?
Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given solvent at a given temperature;
Molar Solubility - The amount of a compound that dissolves to make a saturated solution at equilibrium.
Above 0.1 M = Soluble
Below 0.1 M = Sparingly Soluble
Dilute Solutions
Concentrated Solutions
Saturated Solutions = In Equilibrium NO CHANGE IN FREE ENERGY
Aqueous Solutions 7 Rules.

ALL WATER SOLUBLE
What are Complex Ions or Coordination Compounds?
These are composed of metallic ions bonded to various neutral compounds and anions, referred to as ligands.
CATION —- At least one electron pair donor, “Lewis Base” (LIGANDS)
Bonded by a coordinate covalent bond
- Coenzymes (vitamins)
- CoFactors EX: Cobalamin (B12) Co+ - bind other ligands or assist w/ electron tranfer
What is Chelation?
Some Complex Ions central cation can be bonded to the same ligand in multiple places “large organic ligands”.
Chelation therapy is used to sequester toxic metals, (lead, arsenic, mercury and even iron in high doses)
Percent Composition by Mass
For
- Aqueous Solutions & Solid-in-Solid Solution
Mass of SOLUTE / Mass of SOLUTION x 100%
Molality
For
- Boiling Point Elevation & Freezing Point Depression
Moles of Solute per Kilogram of Solvent
m = MOLES of SOLUTE / KILOGRAMS of SOLVENT
