Solutions Flashcards
What is molarity?
mol of solute / L of solution (M)
Molality
mol of solute/ kg of solvent (m)
Molality is for what type of properties only?
colligative properties
Colligative Properties
properties that depend only on the number of particles, not the identity
What are the 4 colligative properties?
vapor pressure, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure
What is about the same in dilute solutions?
.1 M is about .1 m
Mass percent
compares the grams of solute to grams of solution
Mole Fraction
compares the moles of solute to moles of solution
What 3 things occur when dissolving a substance?
- the solute expands (IMF are broken) - lattice energy
- the solvent expands (IMF are broken)
- the solute and solvent combine (new IMF are formed)
Enthalpy of the solution
total of enthalpy changes when dissolving
Enthalpy of hydration
changes when already separated solute is added to water
Explain the dissolving process with a nonpolar solute and polar solvent
- non-polar solvent is delta H1: has small IMF (LD) + bonds being broken = small to medium positive enthalpy
- polar solvent is delta H2: has large IMF (H-bonds or dipoles) + bonds being broken = large positive enthalpy
- delta H3: has essentially zero IMF because they don’t mix= small positive enthalpy
- enthalpy of solution: small positive + larger positive + small positive = very larger positive
- No solution forms (immiscible = does not dissolve in any amount. - don’t mix
Explain the dissolving process with a polar solute and non-polar solvent
- polar solute = delta H1 = large IMF + bonds breaking = large positive
- nonpolar solvent = delta H2 = small IMF (LD) + bonds breaking = small positive
- delta H3 = small positive (no IMF)
- enthalpy of solution= large positive + small positive + small positive = larger positive
- no solution forms (immiscible) - don’t mix
What happens with the enthalpy of the solution is large and positive?
NO solution forms (immiscible)
What happens when the enthalpy of the solution is negative?
the solution will form (miscible)
Dissolving process for polar solute + polar solvent
- polar solute = large IMF + bonds breaking = large positive
- polar solvent = large IMF + bonds breaking = large positive
- energy is released when new IMF forms = very large negative
- enthalpy of the solution = probably negative - solution will form
What happens when the enthalpy of the solution is small?
solution will form
Polar solute & polar solvent (small enthalpy)
possible small positive enthalpy of solution- still miscible
nonpolar solute & nonpolar solvent
- solute = small positive (IMF + broken bonds)
- small positive (IMF + bonds broken)
- delta H3 = small positive
- enthalpy of the solution is small & positive because the increase in entropy overcomes any positive enthalpy of the solution
C-H bonds are
non-polar (because of similar electronegativites)
-OH groups make H-bonds that are
polar (H-bonds - strongest)
“ol” at the end of a structural formula means
alcohol
C-O and C-N bonds are
polar (two dissimilar non-metals -two different electronegativities)
-COOH group
- carboxyl group
2. polar
H at the end of -COOH ionizes to make
an acid
How can a large molecule with C-H bonds be considered polar
must have many polar groups (more elcectrons)
fats & oils = large C-H molecules are
nonpolar
What are the 2 types of vitamins
- water-soluble (polar) must be replaced daily (C, B)
2. fat soluble (non-polar) are stored in the body (A, D, E, K)
halides
dissolve best in water (ionic or polar)
