Solution
• homogeneous mixtures
 composition may vary from one sample to another
 appears to be one substance, though really contains
multiple materials
• most homogeneous materials we encounter are
actually solutions
 e.g., air and sea water
• nature has a tendency toward spontaneous mixing
 generally, uniform mixing is more energetically
favorable

seems to “disappear”
“takes on the state” of the solvent
solvent is the substance solute
dissolves in
does not appear to change state
when both solute and solvent have
the same state, the solvent is the
component present in the highest
percentage
solutions in which the solvent is

Solubility
• when one substance (solute) dissolves in another
•
(solvent) it is said to be soluble
salt is soluble in water
bromine is soluble in methylene chloride
when one substance does not dissolve in another it is
said to be insoluble
oil is insoluble in water
• the solubility of one substance in another
depends on two factors – nature’s tendency
towards mixing, and the types of
intermolecular attractive forces

Spontaneous Mixing
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

Solubility
• there is usually a limit to the solubility of one
substance in another
gases are always soluble in each other
two liquids that are mutually soluble are said to be
miscible
alcohol and water are miscible
oil and water are immiscible
• the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved
•
in a given amount of solvent is called the solubility
the solubility of one substance in another varies with
temperature and pressure

Mixing and the Solution Process
Entropy
• formation of a solution does not necessarily
lower the potential energy of the system
 the difference in attractive forces between atoms of
two separate ideal gases vs. two mixed ideal gases
is negligible
 yet the gases mix spontaneously
• the gases mix because the energy of the
•
•
system is lowered through the release of
entropy
entropy is the measure of energy dispersal
throughout the system
energy has a spontaneous drive to spread out
over as large a volume as it is allowed
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
9
Intermolecular Forces and the Solution Process
Enthalpy of Solution
• energy changes in the formation of most solutions also
•
involve differences in attractive forces between
particles
must overcome solute-solute attractive forces
 endothermic
• must overcome some of the solvent-solvent attractive
forces
 endothermic
• at least some of the energy to do this comes from
making new solute-solvent attractions
 exothermic

Will It Dissolve?
• Chemist’s Rule of Thumb –
Like Dissolves Like
• a chemical will dissolve in a solvent if it has a similar
•
structure to the solvent
when the solvent and solute structures are similar, the
solvent molecules will attract the solute particles at
least as well as the solute particles to each other

Heats of Hydration
• for aqueous ionic solutions, the energy added to
overcome the attractions between water molecules and
the energy released in forming attractions between the
water molecules and ions is combined into a term
called the heat of hydration
 attractive forces in water = H-bonds
 attractive forces between ion and water = ion-dipole
 DHhydration = heat released when 1 mole of gaseous ions
dissolves in water

•
process
initially, when there is no dissolved solute, the only
process possible is dissolution
shortly, solute particles can start to recombine to
reform solute molecules – but the rate of dissolution >>
rate of deposition and the solute continues to dissolve
eventually, the rate of dissolution = the rate of
deposition – the solution is saturated with solute and no
more solute will dissolve

Solubility Limit
• a solution that has the maximum amount of solute
dissolved in it is said to be saturated
 depends on the amount of solvent
 depends on the temperature
 and pressure of gases
• a solution that has less solute than saturation is said to
•
be unsaturated
a solution that has more solute than saturation is said to
be supersaturated
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
26
How Can You Make a Solvent Hold
More Solute Than It Is Able To?
• solutions can be made saturated at non-room conditions
•
•
– then allowed to come to room conditions slowly
for some solutes, instead of coming out of solution
when the conditions change, they get stuck in-between
the solvent molecules and the solution becomes
supersaturated
supersaturated solutions are unstable and lose all the
solute above saturation when disturbed

Temperature Dependence of Solubility
of Solids in Water
• solubility is generally given in grams of solute that will
•
dissolve in 100 g of water
for most solids, the solubility of the solid increases as
the temperature increases
 when DHsolution is endothermic
• solubility curves can be used to predict whether a
solution with a particular amount of solute dissolved in
water is saturated (on the line), unsaturated (below the
line), or supersaturated (above the line)

Using Concentrations as
Conversion Factors
• concentrations show the relationship between
the amount of solute and the amount of solvent
 12%(m/m) sugar(aq) means 12 g sugar  100 g solution
 or 12 kg sugar  100 kg solution; or 12 lbs.  100 lbs. solution
 5.5%(m/v) Ag in Hg means 5.5 g Ag  100 mL solution
 22%(v/v) alcohol(aq) means 22 mL EtOH  100 mL solution
• The concentration can then be used to convert the
amount of solute into the amount of solution, or vice
versa

Raoult’s Law for Volatile Solute
• when both the solvent and the solute can evaporate,
•
both molecules will be found in the vapor phase
the total vapor pressure above the solution will be the
sum of the vapor pressures of the solute and solvent
 for an ideal solution
Ptotal = Psolute + Psolvent

same way the solute decreased the solvent’s

Ideal vs. Nonideal Solution
• in ideal solutions, the made solute-solvent
interactions are equal to the sum of the broken
solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions
ideal solutions follow Raoult’s Law
• effectively, the solute is diluting the solvent
• if the solute-solvent interactions are stronger or
weaker than the broken interactions the solution
is nonideal

65
Vapor Pressure of a
Nonideal Solution
• when the solute-solvent interactions are stronger than
the solute-solute + solvent-solvent, the total vapor
pressure of the solution will be less than predicted by
Raoult’s Law
 because the vapor pressures of the solute and solvent are
lower than ideal
• when the solute-solvent interactions are weaker than
the solute-solute + solvent-solvent, the total vapor
pressure of the solution will be larger than predicted by

Boiling Point Elevation
• the boiling point of a solution is higher than the boiling
point of the pure solvent
 for a nonvolatile solute
• the difference between the boiling point of the solution
•
and boiling point of the pure solvent is directly
proportional to the molal concentration of solute
particles
(BPsolution – BPsolvent) = DTb = m∙Kb
the proportionality constant is called the Boiling Point
Elevation Constant, Kb
 the value of Kb depends on the solvent
 the units of Kb are °C/m

Osmosis
• osmosis is the flow of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from solution of low
concentration to solution of high concentration
• the amount of pressure needed to keep osmotic
flow from taking place is called the osmotic
pressure
• the osmotic pressure, P, is directly proportional
to the molarity of the solute particles
R = 0.08206 (atm∙L)/(mol∙K)
P = MRT

Colligative Properties
• colligative properties are properties whose value
depends only on the number of solute particles, and not
on what they are
 Vapor Pressure Depression, Freezing Point Depression,
Boiling Point Elevation, Osmotic Pressure
• the van’t Hoff factor, i, is the ratio of moles of solute
•
particles to moles of formula units dissolved
measured van’t Hoff factors are often lower than you
might expect due to ion pairing in solution

Colloids
• a colloidal suspension is a heterogeneous
mixture in which one substance is dispersed
through another
most colloids are made of finely divided particles
suspended in a medium
• the difference between colloids and regular
suspensions is generally particle size – colloidal
particles are from 1 to 100 nm in size

79
Properties of Colloids
• the particles in a colloid exhibit Brownian
motion
• colloids exhibit the Tyndall Effect
scattering of light as it passes through a suspension
colloids scatter short wavelength (blue) light more
effectively than long wavelength (red) light
