-
What is a solution?
What are the components?
- a homogeneous mixture
- solute: substance dissolved (have less of)
- solvent: substance that dissolves (have more of)
-
True or False:
When water is involved, it's usually always the solute.
False: solvent
-
True or False: Gases can be solutions.
True
-
Properties of solutions
- solute in solvent
- variable composition
- clear
- homogeneous
- do not settle
- can separate by physical means
- pass through filter paper
-
True or False:
Clear is colorless.
False: not colorless (think windex)
-
What are physical means of separation?
evaporation, chromatography
-
Other possibilities have to deal with __.
particle size
-
Suspension
particles are in a solution; they settle; not homogeneous unless mixed
-
What is solvation?
the process in which an ion or a molecule is surrounded by solvent molecules arranged in a specific manner; surrounding the molecule by water solution; get water to interact with ions in the structure
-
What is endothermic? Exothermic?
- endo: +DeltaH
- exo: -DeltaH
-
To make a solution, what must occur?
we need to break interactions between solvent, solute, and form interactions where the solute and solvent are attracted to each other
-
What is good for DeltaS
positive because you increase entropy
-
Spontaneous and Nonspontaneous (in terms of Gibbs)
-
What would a - deltaH feel like?
hot; energy released
-
What is the deltaH for solvent-solute interactiosn?
negative; unfavorable
-
solvent-solvent interactions
energy is absorbed (positive deltaH) o overcome intermolecular forces between solvent molecules
-
Solute-solute interactions
energy is absorbed (positive deltaH) to overcome intermolecular forces holding solute particles together in a crystal
-
Solvent-solute interactions
energy is released (negative deltaH) when solvent molecules cluster around solute particles and solvate them
-
Explain an exothermic deltaH solution.
- the solute-solvent interactions are stronger than the solute-solute or solvent-solvent.
- Favorable
-
Explain an endothermic deltaH soltuion.
the solute-solvent interactions are weaker than the solute solute or solvent-solvent. Unfavorable
-
Concentrated or Dilute
- relative terms
- dilute is usually half of concentrated, but it depends on the substance
-
Saturated
- contains the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given solvent
- usually depends on the temp
- - as you heat liquids up, solutes will dissolve more (some do this)
-
unsaturated
contains less solute than a solvent has the capacity to dissolve
-
Supersaturated
contains more solute than would be present in a saturated solution
-
Crystallization
the process in which dissolved solute comes out of the solution and forms crystals
