Solutions Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more pure substances. In a solution, the solute is dispersed uniformly throughout the solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions How Does a Solution Form? As a solution forms, the solvent pulls solute particles apart and surrounds, or solvates, them. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Energy Changes in Solution Simply put, three processes affect the energetics of solution: –Separation of solute particles, –Separation of solvent particles, –New interactions between solute and solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Why Do Endothermic Processes Occur? Things do not tend to occur spontaneously (i.e., without outside intervention) unless the energy of the system is lowered. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Student, Beware! Just because a substance disappears when it comes in contact with a solvent, it doesn’t mean the substance dissolved. It may have reacted. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Student, Beware! Dissolution is a physical change—you can get back the original solute by evaporating the solvent. If you can’t get it back, the substance didn’t dissolve, it reacted. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Types of Solutions Saturated –In a saturated solution, the solvent holds as much solute as is possible at that temperature. –Dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with solid solute particles. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Types of Solutions Unsaturated –If a solution is unsaturated, less solute than can dissolve in the solvent at that temperature is dissolved in the solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Types of Solutions Supersaturated –In supersaturated solutions, the solvent holds more solute than is normally possible at that temperature. –These solutions are unstable; crystallization can usually be stimulated by adding a “seed crystal” or scratching the side of the flask. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Factors Affecting Solubility Chemists use the axiom “like dissolves like.” –Polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents. –Nonpolar substances tend to dissolve in nonpolar solvents. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Gases in Solution The solubility of liquids and solids does not change appreciably with pressure. But the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its pressure. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Henry’s Law S g = kP g where S g is the solubility of the gas, k is the Henry’s Law constant for that gas in that solvent, and P g is the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.2 A Henry’s Law Calculation Solution Analyze We are given the partial pressure of CO 2, P CO 2, and the Henry’s law constant, k, and asked to calculate the concentration of CO 2 in the solution. Plan With the information given, we can use Henry’s law, Equation 13.4, to calculate the solubility, S CO 2. Solve S CO 2 = kP CO 2 = (3.4  10  2 mol/L-atm)(4.0 atm) = 0.14 mol/L = 0.14 M Check The units are correct for solubility, and the answer has two significant figures consistent with both the partial pressure of CO 2 and the value of Henry’s constant. Practice Exercise Calculate the concentration of CO 2 in a soft drink after the bottle is opened and equilibrates at 25  C under a CO 2 partial pressure of 3.0  10  4 atm. Answer: 1.0  10  5 M Calculate the concentration of CO 2 in a soft drink that is bottled with a partial pressure of CO 2 of 4.0 atm over the liquid at 25  C. The Henry’s law constant for CO 2 in water at this temperature is 3.4  10  2 mol/L-atm.

Solutions Temperature Generally, the solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvents increases with increasing temperature. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Temperature The opposite is true of gases. –Carbonated soft drinks are more “bubbly” if stored in the refrigerator. –Warm lakes have less O 2 dissolved in them than cool lakes. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Ways of Expressing Concentrations of Solutions © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions moles of A total moles of all components X A = Mole Fraction (X) In some applications, one needs the mole fraction of solvent, not solute— make sure you find the quantity you need! © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions moles of solute liters of solution M = Molarity (M) You will recall this concentration measure from Chapter 4. Since volume is temperature- dependent, molarity can change with temperature. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions moles of solute kilograms of solvent m = Molality (m) Since both moles and mass do not change with temperature, molality (unlike molarity) is not temperature- dependent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.4 Calculation of Molarity Solution Analyze We are asked to calculate a molality. To do this, we must determine the number of moles of solute (glucose) and the number of kilograms of solvent (water). Solve Use the molar mass of glucose, g/mol, to convert grams to moles: Because water has a density of 1.00 g/mL, the mass of the solvent is Finally, use Equation 13.9 to obtain the molality: A solution is made by dissolving 4.35 g glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) in 25.0 mL of water at 25  C. Calculate the molality of glucose in the solution. Water has a density of 1.00 g/mL. Plan We use the molar mass of C 6 H 12 O 6 to convert grams to moles. We use the density of water to convert milliliters to kilograms. The molality equals the number of moles of solute divided by the number of kilograms of solvent (Equation 13.9). (25.0 mL)(1.00 g/mL) = 25.0 g = kg Practice Exercise What is the molality of a solution made by dissolving 36.5 g of naphthalene (C 10 H 8 ) in 425 g of toluene (C 7 H 8 )? Answers: m

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.5 Calculation of Mole Fraction and Molarity An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid contains 36% HCl by mass. (a) Calculate the mole fraction of HCl in the solution. (b) Calculate the molality of HCl in the solution. Solution Analyze We are asked to calculate the concentration of the solute, HCl, in two related concentration units, given only the percentage by mass of the solute in the solution. Solve (a) To calculate the mole fraction of HCl, we convert the masses of HCl and H 2 O to moles and then use Equation 13.7: Plan In converting concentration units based on the mass or moles of solute and solvent (mass percentage, mole fraction, and molality), it is useful to assume a certain total mass of solution. Let’s assume that there is exactly 100 g of solution. Because the solution is 36% HCl, it contains 36 g of HCl and (100 – 36) g = 64 g of H 2 0. We must convert grams of solute (HCl) to moles to calculate either mole fraction or molality. We must convert grams of solvent (H 2 O) to moles to calculate mole fractions and to kilograms to calculate molality.

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.5 Calculation of Mole Fraction and Molarity Continued (b) To calculate the molality of HCl in the solution, we use Equation We calculated the number of moles of HCl in part (a), and the mass of solvent is 64 g = kg: Practice Exercise A commercial bleach solution contains 3.62 mass % NaOCl in water. Calculate (a) the mole fraction and (b) the molality of NaOCl in the solution. Answer: (a) 9.00  10  3, (b) m

Solutions Colligative Properties Changes in colligative properties depend only on the number of solute particles present, not on the identity of the solute particles. Among colligative properties are –Vapor-pressure lowering –Boiling-point elevation –Freezing-Point elevation –Osmotic pressure © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Vapor Pressure The vapor pressure of a solution is lower than that of the pure solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Raoult’s Law P A = X A P  A where –X A is the mole fraction of compound A, and –P  A is the normal vapor pressure of A at that temperature. Note: This is one of those times when you want to make sure you have the vapor pressure of the solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.7 Calculation of Vapor Pressure of a Solution Glycerin (C 3 H 8 O 3 ) is a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte with a density of 1.26 g/mL at 25  C. Calculate the vapor pressure at 25  C of a solution made by adding 50.0 mL of glycerin to mL of water. The vapor pressure of pure water at 25  C is 23.8 torr (Appendix B), and its density is 1.00 g/mL. Solution Analyze Our goal is to calculate the vapor pressure of a solution, given the volumes of solute and solvent and the density of the solute. Solve To calculate the mole fraction of water in the solution, we must determine the number of moles of C 3 H 8 O 3 and H 2 O: We now use Raoult’s law to calculate the vapor pressure of water for the solution: Plan We can use Raoult’s law (Equation 13.10) to calculate the vapor pressure of a solution. The mole fraction of the solvent in the solution, X solvent, is the ratio of the number of moles of solvent (H 2 O) to total moles of solution (moles C 3 H 8 O 3 + moles H 2 O).

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.7 Calculation of Vapor Pressure of a Solution Continued Comment The vapor pressure of the solution has been lowered by 23.8 torr – 23.2 torr = 0.6 torr relative to that of pure water. The vapor-pressure lowering can be calculated directly using Equation together with the mole fraction of the solute, C 3 H 8 O 3 : = (0.024)(23.8 torr) = 0.57 torr. Notice that the use of Equation gives one more significant figure than the number obtained by subtracting the vapor pressure of the solution from that of the pure solvent. Practice Exercise The vapor pressure of pure water at 110  C is 1070 torr. A solution of ethylene glycol and water has a vapor Pressure of 1.00 atm at 110  C. Assuming that Raoult’s law is obeyed, what is the mole fraction of ethylene glycol in the solution? Answer: 0.290

Solutions Boiling-Point Elevation The change in boiling point is proportional to the molality of the solution:  T b = K b  m where K b is the molal boiling-point elevation constant, a property of the solvent.  T b is added to the normal boiling point of the solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Freezing-Point Elevation The change in freezing point can be found similarly:  T f = K f  m Here K f is the molal freezing-point depression constant of the solvent.  T f is subtracted from the normal freezing point of the solvent. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Sample Exercise 13.8 Calculating Of Boiling-Point Elevation and Freezing-Point Depression Automotive antifreeze consists of ethylene glycol, CH 2 (OH)CH 2 (OH), a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte. Calculate the boiling point and freezing point of a 25.0 mass % solution of ethylene glycol in water. Solution Analyze We are given that a solution contains 25.0 mass % of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute and asked to calculate the boiling and freezing points of the solution. To do this, we need to calculate the boiling-point elevation and freezing-point depression. Plan To calculate the boiling-point elevation and the freezing-point depression using Equations and 13.13, we must express the concentration of the solution as molality. Let’s assume for convenience that we have 1000 g of solution. Because the solution is 25.0 mass % ethylene glycol, the masses of ethylene glycol and water in the solution are 250 and 750 g, respectively. Using these quantities, we can calculate the molality of the solution, which we use with the molal boiling-point-elevation and freezing-point-depression constants (Table 13.3) to calculate  T b and  T f.We add  T b to the boiling point and subtract  T f from the freezing point of the solvent to obtain the boiling point and freezing point of the solution.

Solutions Continued Solve The molality of the solution is calculated as follows: We can now use Equations and to calculate the changes in the boiling and freezing points:  T b = K b m = (0.51  C/m)(5.37 m) = 2.7  C  T f = K f m = (1.86  C/m)(5.37 m) = 10.0  C Hence, the boiling and freezing points of the solution are Boiling point = (normal bp of solvent) +  T b =  C  C =  C Freezing point = (normal fp of solvent)  Tf = 0.0  C  10.0  C =  10.0  C Comment Notice that the solution is a liquid over a larger temperature range than the pure solvent. Practice Exercise Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing kg of CHCl 3 and 42.0 g of eucalyptol (C 10 H 18 O), a fragrant substance found in the leaves of eucalyptus trees. (See Table 13.3.) Answer:  65.6  C Sample Exercise 13.8 Calculating Of Boiling-Point Elevation and Freezing-Point Depression

Solutions Osmosis Some substances form semipermeable membranes, allowing some smaller particles to pass through, but blocking other larger particles. In biological systems, most semipermeable membranes allow water to pass through, but solutes are not free to do so. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Osmotic Pressure The pressure required to stop osmosis, known as osmotic pressure, , is  = ( ) RT = MRT nVnV where M is the molarity of the solution. If the osmotic pressure is the same on both sides of a membrane (i.e., the concentrations are the same), the solutions are isotonic. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions Sample Exercise Calculating Involving Osmotic Pressure The average osmotic pressure of blood is 7.7 atm at 25  C. What molarity of glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) will be isotonic with blood? Solution Analyze We are asked to calculate the concentration of glucose in water that would be isotonic with blood, given that the osmotic pressure of blood at 25  C is 7.7 atm. Plan Because we are given the osmotic pressure and temperature, we can solve for the concentration, using Equation Solve Comment In clinical situations the concentrations of solutions are generally expressed as mass percentages. The mass percentage of a 0.31 M solution of glucose is 5.3%. The concentration of NaCl that is isotonic with blood is 0.16 M, because NaCl ionizes to form two particles, Na + and Cl  (a M solution of NaCl is M in particles). A 0.16 M solution of NaCl is 0.9 mass % in NaCl. This kind of solution is known as a physiological saline solution.
