Solution Chemistry
Warm-Up 2/8/17 Solutions are all around us, can you think of what some solutions are? Think about your labs? Did you have to make a solution? What do you think made that a solution? Do you think of anything like that, that might be a solution? Who has contacts? Do you use something to wash or clean them? Are solutions always liquid, can you think of something that might be a solid? Or a gas? Think about what you breath in? is that a solution? Talk to your partner for a couple of minutes
Some Examples What do you think makes these a solution? Gatorade- what does it have it in? Pennies same thing? What about CuSO4? What was in that solution when you made it? How do you think what you did causes a solution? Are all solutions harmful to eat or drink? What commonality do you think all of these things have? Is it what they look like? Their phase? How they are made? What they are made of? How is soda a solution? What makes it carbonated? What does the word carbonated sound like??
Definition Solute Solvent Solutions are homogeneous mixtures that contain two or more substances. Solutions consist of solutes and solvents. Solutes are the dissolved substance in a solution. Solvents are the dissolving medium in a solution. Solute Solutes- in CuSO4 what was the solute? What about for the soda example? Solvent
Solutions Even though most solutions are liquid, solutions do exist as solids, liquids, and gases. Golf clubs- Zn and Al putters Irons- stainless steel- carbon and iron Anyone know what air is made of? Gases: Air Solid Alloys Liquids
Soluble versus Insoluble Some substances readily combine to form solutions, others do not. A substance that dissolves in a solvent is said to be soluble. A substance that will not dissolve in a solvent is said to be insoluble. Salt and Water Soluble Sand and Water Insoluble
Miscible versus immiscible When a liquid dissolves in another liquid it is said to be miscible. Immiscible is when two liquids don’t dissolve. Oil and Water: Immiscible Water and alcohol: Miscible
Concept Check What is the difference between soluble and miscible? How are they similar? Write this down in your notebook.
Solvation Solvation is the process of dissolving. Solute particles are surrounded by solvent particles. Solute particles are separated and pulled into solution.
Concept Check Will KF undergo solvation in water? Why or why not? If it does, describe what will happen.
Warm-Up 2/9/17 Get out half a sheet of paper and write and answer the following question: Will NaF undergo solvation? Why or why not? If yes, explain the process.
The substance dissolved in a solution is the: Mixture C) Solvent Solute D) Solution
What is the processes of dissolving? Mixture C) Solvation Solvent D) Solution
When a liquid dissolves in another, it is said to be Soluble C) insoluble Immiscible D) miscible
Electrolytes A solution is said to be an electrolyte when the solution conducts electricity. This happens when there are charged particles in the solution.
Electrolytes There are three types: Non-electrolyte- when the solution does not conduct electricity Weak electrolyte- when the solution conducts some electrical current (but not a lot) Strong electrolyte- when the solution conducts electricity
Electrolytes (Continued) Strong electrolytes are ionic compounds. Weak or non-electrolytes are covalent compounds. ethanol NaCl Acetic acid
Solubility Unsaturated solution More solute dissolves No more solute dissolves Supersaturated solution Unstable solution and crystals form
Supersaturated Solutions Diet coke and Mentos Heat Packs
Concentrated and Dilute A concentrated solution contains more solute than solvent A dilute solution contains more solvent than solute
Concept Check Explain the difference between a supersaturated solution and an unsaturated solution. Give an example of each.
When a relatively small amount of solute is dissolved in a solution, it is said to be: insoluble C) dilute concentrated D) immiscible
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current: electrolyte C) solvation concentrated D) non-electrolyte
Solubility Trends Solids Solubility of most solids increase with temperature (the higher the temp, the faster the solid dissolves. Solids dissolve quicker with increasing surface area of the solid (the smaller the size, the faster it dissolves) Stirring will help dissolve the solid faster
Solubility Trend (Cont.) Gases Solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature (the colder the temp, the faster the gas dissolves) Solubility of gases increases with pressure (higher the pressure, the more the gas will dissolve)
Math Time! Concentration of a solution has 4 main 1. Molarity (M) M= moles liters 3. Percent composition a) %mass/volume = mass of solute X100 %m/v volume of solution b) % volume/volume = volume of solute X100 %v/v volume of solution measurements: 2. Grams per Liter g/L = grams liters 4. Parts per million ppm= mass of solute X106 mass of solution
Problems on Molarity If you have 2 moles of glucose in 8 liters of solution, find the molarity of the solution. Equation: M=moles liters 2 moles = 0.25 M 8 liters
Problems on Molarity A salt solution has a volume of 250 mL and contains 0.70 moles of NaCl. What is the molarity?
Problems on Molarity A saline solution contains 0.90 grams of NaCl per 100 mL of solution. What is the molarity?
