Phase Diagram of Water
• Note the high critical temperature
and critical pressure:
– These are due to the strong van der
Waals forces between water
molecules.
• The slope of the solid–liquid
line is negative.
– This means that increasing the
pressure above 1 atm will raise
the boiling point (as expected)
and lower the melting point.
– Lower the melting point?
Phase Diagram of Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide cannot exist in the liquid state at pressures
below 5.11 atm; CO2 sublimes at normal pressures.
Phase Diagram of Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide cannot exist in the liquid state at pressures
below 5.11 atm; CO2 sublimes at normal pressures.
At 1 atm, solid CO2 does not melt at any temperature.
Instead, it sublimes to form CO2 vapor. Why might it be
useful as a refrigerant?

If you want to send something frozen across the country,
you can pack it in dry ice. It will be frozen when it reaches
its destination, and there will be no messy liquid left over
like you would have with normal ice.
The slope of the curve between solid and liquid is positive for
CO2 as well as almost all other substances. Why does water
differ?
Freeze-drying
Normal (right) and freeze-dried (left) spaghetti
•
Completely remove water from some material, such as food, while leaving the basic structure
and composition of the material intact
•
Two reasons
–
–
•
Keeps food from spoiling for a long period of time
Significantly reduces the total weight of the food
How?

Freeze the material
Lower the pressure (<0.006 atm)
Increase the temperature slightly

Physical Properties
of Solutions
Chapter 13
A solution is a homogenous mixture of 2 or
more substances
The solute is(are) the substance(s) present in the
smaller amount(s)
The solvent is the substance present in the larger
amount
13.1
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a
solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific
temperature.
An unsaturated solution contains less solute than the
solvent has the capacity to dissolve at a specific
temperature.
A supersaturated solution contains more solute than is
present in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.
Sodium acetate crystals rapidly form when a seed crystal is
added to a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate.
13.1
Solutions
The intermolecular
forces between solute
and solvent particles
must be strong enough
to compete with those
between solute particles
and those between
solvent particles.
How Does a Solution Form?
As a solution forms, the solvent pulls solute
particles apart and surrounds, or solvates,
them. If the solvent is water, then the process
is called hydration.
How Does a Solution Form
If an ionic salt is
soluble in water, it is
because the iondipole interactions
are strong enough
to overcome the
lattice energy of the
salt crystal.
Energy Changes in Solution
• Simply, three processes
affect the energetics of the
process:
 Separation of solute
particles
 Separation of solvent
particles
 New interactions between
solute and solvent
Energy Changes in Solution
The enthalpy
change of the
overall process
depends on H for
each of these steps.
Three types of interactions in the solution process:
• solvent-solvent interaction
• solute-solute interaction
• solvent-solute interaction
Hsoln = H1 + H2 + H3

“like dissolves like”
Two substances with similar intermolecular forces are likely
to be soluble in each other.
•
non-polar molecules are soluble in non-polar solvents
CCl4 in C6H6
•
polar molecules are soluble in polar solvents
C2H5OH in H2O
•
ionic compounds are more soluble in polar solvents
NaCl in H2O or NH3 (l)

Concentration Units
The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute
present in a given quantity of solvent or solution.
Percent by Mass

% by mass =

Strategy:
Find mass of solvent
Know mass of solute + mass of solvent = mass of solution
If mass of solution and mass of solute known, can calculate mass of solvent
Can calculate mass of solute from moles of solute
Can calculate mass of solution from density and volume of the solution

5.86 moles of solute per 1 L of solution:

mass of solvent = mass of solution – mass of solute
