What is behind the chemistry of solubility?

A

Q

Why is water the universal solvent?

A

-water is the universal solvent because it is capable of dissolving a variety of substances
-its success as a solvent is due to its size, high polar nature (polar bonds), capacity for hydrogen bonding
-a force of attraction between two polar molecules, where an electropositive hydrogen atom from one polar molecule is attracted to an atoms with a high electronegativity (ex. O, N, F) of another polar molecule

Q

Explain the solubility of polar molecules in H20

A

-polar molecules, having areas of slight positive charge and areas of slight negative charge, can attract one another due to electrostatic attraction
-this attraction allows a polar solvent to dissolve a polar solute
ex. water dissolves ammonia

Q

Solubility of ionic compounds in H20

A

-when an ionic compound dissolves in water they separate (dissociate) into individual ions
-this separation is illustrated using a dissociation equation
-the cation will attract the slightly negative regions of the water molecules
-the anion will attract the slightly positive regions of water molecules
(opposites attract)

Q

Insolubility of non-polar molecules in H20

A

-unlike water, non-polar molecules lack positively and negatively charged regions
-thus water molecules have a much greater attraction to one another than non-polar molecules, and as a result do not mix

Q

Solubility of non-polar solutes in non-polar solvents

A

Q

What are the three different classes of solution that can exist based on on the amount of dissolved solute?

A

1) Saturated Solution: a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent, and excess solute may be present, the rate at which solute dissolves is equal to the rate at which solute crystallizes

2) Unsaturated Solution: a solution that contains less the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solute, all the solute molecules are dissolved and there is no crystallization

3) Supersaturated Solution: a solution that contains more dissolved solute than it would if it were saturated, unstable solution (any small agitation may initiate crystallization), achieved by gently heating and careful cooling of solution

Q

Factors affecting solubility: size and charge

A

1) Ionic compounds
-generally the greater the charge on ions the less soluble the ionic compound due to a greater electrostatic attraction holding the ions together
-the larger the size of an ion the greater the solubility since the force of attraction between the cation and anion decreases as radius increases

2) Molecular Compounds
-the more polar bonds in a molecule generally the more soluble in water due to more attractive sites for water
-generally the smaller a molecule the more soluble due to a greater surface area in contact with solvent

Q

Factors affecting solubility: temperature

A

Solid solute: solubility increases as the temperature increases, energy is required to break the bonds between the particles if solute and when temperature is higher the solute particles have more kinetic energy

Liquid solute: solubility is largely unaffected by changes by changes in temperature, bonds between particles in a liquid are not as strong as those between particles in a solid

Gas solute: solubility decreases as temperature increases, when dissolved in liquid the gas loses some energy, as temperature increases the dissolved gas gains anergy and comes out of a solution more easily

Q

Factors affecting solubility: pressure

A

Solid and liquid solute: solubility is largely unaffected by changes in pressure

Gas solute: solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid

-low pressure above the liquid decreases gas solubility

Q

What is electronegativity?

A
  • the relative ability of an atom to attract a shared electron pair
    -generally, metals have lower electronegativity values evidenced by their tendency to lose electrons to achieve stability
    -non-metals have greater electronegativity values evidenced by their tendency to gain electrons to achieve stability
    the type of bond that forms between two atoms can be determined by calculating electronegativity difference

56
Q

Acid base titration
What is the useful function of titration

A

-determining concentration of a solution for which the concentration is not known
-verifying the concentration of an existing labeled solution (quality control)

57
Q

What is the titration procedure

A

-the concentration of the solution of interest is determined by observing its reaction with a solution of known concentration (standard solution)

58
Q

What is equivalence point?

A

-the aim of titration is to find the point at which the number of moles of the standard solution is stoichiometrically equal to the number of moles of the unknown solutions (represents complete reaction)
-this quantitative point is called the equivalence point
-the equivalence point marks when neutralization has occurred (the moles of H+ from the acid have reacted with an equal amount of OH- from the base)

59
Q

What is the endpoint?

A

-provides qualitative evidence that the equivalence point has been achieved
(no visible sign indicates the occurrence of a neutralization reaction so an acid/base indicator is added which changes color in an acidic compares to a basic solution
-the indicator changing color shows that the endpoint has been achieved, signifying neutralization occurring

60
Q

base: magenta
neutral: pale pink

61
Q

What are the differences in endpoint and equivalence point when referring to titration?

A

endpoint:
-observable

-occurs when an acid-base indicator
-reacts with the titrant to produce lasting color change
-depends on the type of indicator used

equivalence point:
-theoretical
-cannot be observed
-occurs when an acid and a base have completely neutralized each other
-depends on the stoichiometry of the neutralization

62
Q

65
Q

What are the three unique properties of water and how are they advantageous to living organisms?

A

high surface tension: pulls water into round droplets and allows small insects to “walk on water”

expansion when cooling from 4 to 0: causes water to freeze from the top down, allowing life to continue below it as ice floats

inability to mix with non-polar compounds: enables organisms to retain water because of a waterproof coating

66
Q

Define potable

A

the term used to describe water that is suitable for drinking, several natural processes purify water as it passes through the water cycle (evaporation results in source of potable water as when water evaporates existing solutes are left behind, and when this evaporated water condenses it is very pure)

67
