General Properties of
Solutions
• A solution is a system in which one or
more substances are homogeneously
mixed or dissolved in another substance.
• The solute is the component that is
dissolved or is the least abundant
component of the solution.
• The solvent is the dissolving agent or the
most abundant component in the solution.
3
4
Properties of True Solutions
• The mixture of two or more components–
solute and solvent –is homogeneous and
has a variable composition.
– This means that the ratio of solvent to solute
can be varied.
• The dissolved solute is molecular or ionic
in size.
• It is either colored or colorless and is
usually transparent.
5
• The solute remains uniformly distributed
throughout the solution and will not
settle out with time.
• The solute can generally be separated
from the solvent by purely physical
means such as evaporation.
• The solute particles of a true solution
are molecular or ionic in size.
– The particle size range is 0.1 nm to 1 nm
(10-8 cm to10-7cm).

Solubility
Solubility describes the amount of solute that
will dissolve in a specified amount of solvent.
8
Solubilities of substances vary widely.
9
• Terms that describe the extent of
solubility of a solute in a solvent:
– very soluble
– soluble
– moderately soluble
– slightly soluble
– insoluble
10
• Terms that describe the solubility of
liquids:
– miscible: liquids that are capable of
mixing and forming solutions.
methyl alcohol and water
– immiscible: liquids that are insoluble in
each other.
oil and water

Factors Related to
Solubility
• Factors that affect solubility are
– ion size
– interactions between solute and solvent
– temperature
13
The Nature of the
Solute and Solvent
• The general rule for predicting solubility
is “like dissolves like”.
14
• Polar compounds tend to be more
soluble in polar solvents than
nonpolar solvents.
Solvent
Polarity
– NaCl (sodium chloride) is
• soluble in water
• slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol
• insoluble in ether and benzene

• Nonpolar compounds tend to be more
soluble in nonpolar solvents than in
polar solvents.

– benzene is
• insoluble in water
• soluble in ether.
17
The Effect of
Temperature on Solubility
Most solutes have a limited solubility in
a specific solvent at a fixed temperature.
18
Effect of Temperature on the
Solubility of a Solid in a Liquid
• For most solids dissolved in a liquid,
an increase in temperature results in
increased solubility.
– Some solids increase in solubility only
slightly with increasing temperature.
– Some solids decrease in solubility with
increasing in temperature.

21
Effect of Temperature on the
Solubility of a Gas in Water
• The solubility of a gas in water usually
decreases with temperature.
– Kinetic molecular theory accounts for
this decreased solubility.
– For the gas to dissolve it must form bonds
of some sort with the molecules of the
liquid.
– At higher temperatures the kinetic energy
of the gas molecules is sufficient to break
22
the gas water bond.
large decrease in solubility
with increasing temperature
23
The Effect of
Pressure on Solubility
• Small pressure changes have little
effect on the solubility of
– solids in liquids
– liquids in liquids
• Small pressure changes have a great
effect on the solubility of gases in
liquids.
– The solubility of a gas in a liquid is
directly proportional to the pressure of
24
that gas above the liquid.

25
Saturated, Unsaturated and
Supersaturated Solutions
• At a specific temperature there is a
limit to the amount of solvent that will
dissolve in a given amount of solute.
• When this condition occurs the solution
is said to be saturated.
26
• In a saturated solution two processes are
occurring simultaneously
– The solute is crystallizing out of solution.
– The solid is dissolving into the solution.

30
Rate of
Dissolving Solids
• Particle Size
– A solid can dissolve only at the surface
that is in contact with the solvent.
– Smaller crystals have a larger surface to
volume ratio than large crystals.
– Smaller crystals dissolve faster than
larger crystals.
31
32
14.5
• Temperature
– In most cases, the rate of dissolving of a
solid increases with temperature.
– This occurs because solvent molecules
strike the surface of the solid more
frequently and harder, causing the solid to
dissolve more rapidly.
33
• Concentration of the Solution

As solution

increases, the rate of
dissolving decreases.
The rate of dissolving
is at a maximum when
solute and solvent are
first mixed.
34
• Agitation or stirring.
– When a solid is first put into water, it
comes in contact only with water. The
rate of dissolving is a maximum.
35
• Agitation or stirring.
– When a solid is first put into water, it
comes in contact only with water. The
rate of dissolving is a maximum.
– As the solid dissolves, the amount of
dissolved solute around the solid
increases and the rate of dissolving
decreases.

The concentration of a solution expresses
the amount of solute dissolved in a given
quantity of solvent or solution.
44
Dilute and
Concentrated Solutions
• The terms dilute and concentrated are
qualitative expressions of the amount
of solute present in a solute.
• A dilute solution contains a relatively
small amount of dissolved solute.
• A concentrated solution contains a
relatively large amount of solute.
45
• Concentrated HCl contains 12 mol of
HCl per liter of solution.
• In some laboratories a dilute solution
might be 6 mol of HCl per liter of
solution.
• In another laboratory dilute HCl might
be 4 mol of HCl per liter of solution.

Volumes are not necessarily additive.
• A bottle of rubbing alcohol reads 70%
by volume.
• The alcohol solution could be prepared
by mixing 70 mL of alcohol with water
to make a total volume of 100 mL of
solution.
• 30 m L of water could not be added to
70 mL of alcohol because the volumes
are not necessarily additive.

Colligative Properties

When a nonvolatile solute is added to a
solvent, three physical properties of the
solvent will change:
Boiling point elevation.

Freezing point depression.
Properties
Vapor pressure.

Colligative properties of a solution
depend only on the number of solute
particles in a solution and not on the
nature of those particles.

Each solvent shows a characteristic:

The vapor pressure of a liquid depends
on the ease with which its molecules can
escape from the liquid’s surface.

If 10% of the molecules in a solution are nonvolatile
solute molecules, the vapor pressure of the solution is

Osmosis and
Osmotic Pressure
Osmosis is the diffusion of water, either from a
dilute solution or from pure water, through a
semipermeable membrane into a solution of
higher concentration.

• A 0.90% solution of sodium chloride in
water is known as physiological saline
solution. It is isotonic with blood
plasma.
• Red blood cells do not shrink or swell
in an isotonic solution.

• Red blood cells swell in a hypotonic
solution.
• Red blood cells shrink in a hypertonic
solution.

Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be
exerted to prevent osmosis of solvent particles
through a semipermeable membrane that is
separating two solutions of different solute
concentrations.
Osmotic pressure is a colligative property.

In osmosis,the net transfer of
solvent is always from the less
concentrated to the more
concentrated solution.
