solutions and their behavior ch 8 Flashcards
what is a Solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture that consists of one or more solutes uniformly dispersed at the molecular or ionic level throughout a medium known as the solvent.
Air is a solution of nitrogen, oxygen, and a few other minor gases.
what is a Solvent
Solvent is present in the larger amount.
Solute what is it
Solute is present in smaller amount than the solvent.
example of a solvent and solute
Normal saline is a solution containing sodium chloride and water. The sodium chloride comprises 0.89% of the mixture and water comprises 99.11% of the mixture, NaCl is the solute and water is the solvent.
Molality (m) what is it
, or molal concentration expresses concentration in terms of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
m= moles solute/ kg solvent
Molarity, what is it
or molar concentration is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.
Molality is never equal to molarity.
The difference becomes smaller as solutions become more dilute.
M= moles solute/ L solution
percent means part per what
100
unit of concentration formula or percent by weight to volume
% = g of solute/ 1000 ml of solution
Example: Drug is packaged 5mg/5ml. You want to give 10mg. How many ml will you give?= 10 ml
the percent by weight formula =
% (w/w)= 25 g of glucose/ 500g of solution x 100 = 5%
Solubility is what
Solubility is the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent
Saturated is what
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute, as defined by its solubility.
Supersaturated means
This is not a stable system
A solution contains more solute than allowed by the solubility.
can turn vaporizer to high concentration for a short period to drive in more gas.
Supersaturated example
The excess solute will come out of solution crystallizing as a solid, separating as a liquid, or bubbling out as a gas.
For example, when blood or urine in the kidneys becomes supersaturated with calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate, a kidney stone can form.
If the solute is a gas in liquid solvent, you would see bubbles forming in the solution. Perhaps you’ve seen this phenomenon when you open a bottle of beer or soda pop.
Two liquids are blank if they are soluble in each other in all proportions.
Miscible
Miscible
example
Two liquids are miscible if they are soluble in each other in all proportions. Alcohol and water are miscible with each other. Oil and water, on the other hand, are immiscible with each other.
Solubility Guidelines
Like dissolves like
Polar solutes are more soluble in polar solvents
Nonpolar solutes are more soluble in nonpolar solvents
you dont want your gases to be absorbing into the blood because it would take a long time for pt to wake up. our gases are quick active now.
The solubility of a solute is the amount of what
the solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.
Solubility Guidelines example
That means that polar solutes are more soluble in polar solvents, while nonpolar solutes are more soluble in nonpolar solvents. You can consider most organic compounds to be nonpolar.
The most polar species are, obviously, ionic compounds, followed by species that can form hydrogen bonds, such as water and ethanol (CH3CH2OH). Therefore, you would expect ionic compounds to be soluble in water, but not very soluble in an organic solvent such as ether or hexane.
!!!!On the other hand, you would expect an organic compound, like the vast majority of the pure form of injectable medications, to be relatively insoluble in a water-based medium such as blood.!!!!!
Solubility Example: Lidocaine
Lidocaine is not very soluble in water. Lidocaine belongs to the class of organic compounds called amines, and amine functional groups contain a nitrogen atom.
Lidocaine (a nonpolar, water-insoluble organic compound) reacts with hydrochloric acid to give an ionic salt, which is called lidocaine hydrochloride (the drug). Because lidocaine hydrochloride has an ionic bond, it is readily soluble in water.
can change the compounds of drugs to make them more useful.
