Solutions and Solubility - week 7 Flashcards
Solution definition
solute dissolved in a solvent
Suspension definition
solution where the solute cannot be dissolved in the solvent
Colloidal solution definition
particles exist in solution somewhere between a true solution and a true suspension
Solvent
substance into which a solute is dissolved
True solution
occurs when solute is completely dissolved in the solvent (amount dissolved is dependent on temperature)
The greater the temperature of the solvent ____
the greater the amount of solid solute dissolved
When dissolving is endothermic then ___
increase solubility with increasing temperature
When dissolving is exothermic then ___
decrease solubility with increasing temperature
Does changes in our body temperature have an effect on solubility of solids in our body?
changes to body temperature are small and will have minimal effect on solubility
Concerning gases, the greater the temperature of the solvent the ___
less gas that will be dissolved in the solvent (liquid)
If patient’s temperature increases what happens to the anesthetic?
less anesthetic dissolved so more difficult to anesthetize
If patient’s temperature decreases what happens to the anesthetic?
more anesthetic dissolved so easier to anesthetize
How does gas escape from the solution with an increased temperature?
increased temperature –> more KE of the gas molecules –> breaks IMF between gas and solvent –> gas escapes
Saturated solution
state of a solution in which more solute cannot be added without some of the solute precipitating out of the solution (Point of equilibrium between the gas and liquid phase)
Solution strength- % solution
grams of solute/100mL solvent = % solution
example. .9% NaCl = .9 grams/ 100mL
Solution strength - molar solution
moles of solute per 1 liter of solvent
example. NaCl= 23+35 = 58 grams/mole
58grams NaCl/ 1 L of solvent = 1 Molar solution
diffusion
process whereby a substance spreads through the space available to it by random molecular motion (high to low concentration)
molecular movement is a product of ___
a pressure gradient
Henry’s Law
amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure applied to the gas as it overlies the liquid
Graham’s Law
movement of gas from one compartment to another thru a porous membrane
diffusion coefficient
(D) = Solubility of Gas/ square root MW
calculating relative rate of diffusion of 2 gases as they dissolve in a liquid
diffusion rate of gas 1/diffusion rate of gas 2 = sol gas 1/ sol gas 2 x square root of MW gas 2/MW gas 1
