Solution Chemistry Notes
2
Definition of a “Solution”
A solution is a homogeneous (uniform) mixture of a solute and a solvent. Everyday solutions: CO2, sugar dissolved in water Salt dissolved in water
3
Relationships Solute: present in smaller amount
Solvent: present in larger amount
4
Solution = Solute + Solvent
Important Note: Unless otherwise specified, assume that the solvent for all solutions discussed in this course is WATER.
5
Importance of Solutions
In nature, it is rare to find pure solids, liquids or gases; most substances are mixtures
6
Using Solutions to Speed Up Chemical Reactions
Most elements and most compounds of interest are solids at RT; however the rxn rate between solids is very slow due to low surface area which limits contacts between reacting particles In the lab, most chemical reactions are carried out by dissolving solids in liquid solvents to increase the # of collisions and hence the rxn rates

Concept of Concentration as Ratio
Concentration = Moles of Solute Volume of Solution 400 mL 200 mL 100 mL 1 drop in mL = = __ drops in mL __ drops in mL

Concept of Concentration as Ratio
Concentration = Moles of Solute Volume of Solution 400 mL 200 mL 100 mL 1 drop in mL = = 2 drops in mL __ drops in mL

Molarity Definition Molarity (M) = moles of solute Liter of solution
1 M NaCl solution: 1 Mole (58.5 g) of NaCl dissolved in a total aqueous solution volume of 1 Liter. 58.5 g

What is the Molarity of each solution if represents 1 mole
What is the Molarity of each solution if represents 1 mole? (Recall 1 L = 1000 mL) Molarity = Moles of Solute 1 Liter of Solution 1000 mL 1000 mL 1000 mL 1 M = = ? M ? M

What is the Molarity of each solution if represents 1 mole? (Recall 1 L = 1000 mL) Molarity = Moles of Solute 1Liter of Solution 1000 mL 1000 mL 1000 mL 1 M = = 2 M 4 M
14
Example Problem: What is the concentration of the following solution?
Answer: 1 Molar (1 M) – there is 1 mole in a liter of solution 1 Mole 1 Liter
15
Although the definition of Molarity is the moles of solute in 1 liter of solution, as long as the ratio of moles to volume is unchanged any volume of solution at the same concentration can be prepared.
