Solutions The Solution Process
Objectives • Describe the factors that affect solubility and the rate at which the solute dissolves. • Distinguish between saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions.
Factors Affecting the Rate of Dissolution • Surface area • Stirring • temperature
Solubility Solution equilibrium – state in which dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates Saturated solution – a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute Unsaturated solution – a solution that contains less solute than the maximum that can be dissolved under the existing conditions. Supersaturated solution – a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions.
Solubility Values Solubility – amount of a solute that forms a saturated solution in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature • Pressure must be specified for gases Examples: solubility in 100 g of H2O at 20oC NaCl: 35.9 g O2: 0.00537 g at 1 atm
Objectives • Describe the factors that affect solubility. • Describe the interactions that contribute to the heat of solution.
Solute-Solvent Interactions “Like dissolves Like”
Ionic Compounds in Aqueous Solutions Hydration – process in which water molecules are attracted to ions in solution.
Liquid Solutes and Solvents Immiscible – when liquid solutes and solvents are not soluble in each other Miscible – when liquids dissolve freely in one another.
Effects of Pressure Gas + solvent ↔ solution
Henry’s Law • The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid
Heat of Solution • The net amount of energy released or absorbed when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent. -can be exothermic or endothermic
Heat of Solution The heat of solution is the sum of the following energy changes. • Solute particles must be separated. Energy is required (lattice energy) • Solvent particles must be separated. Energy is required (intermolecular forces) • Solute particles are attracted to solvent particles (solvation) Energy is released.
