Unit 10:Solutions

Chemistry

Solution Definitions

solution: a homogeneous mixture

-- e.g., --

alloy: a solid solution of metals

-- e.g.,

solvent: the substance that dissolves the solute

evenly mixed at the particle level salt water

bronze = Cu + Sn;brass = Cu + Zn

e.g., water e.g., salt

soluble: “will dissolve in”

miscible: refers to two liquids that mix evenly in all proportions

-- e.g., food coloring and water

Factors Affecting the Rate of Dissolution

1. temperature

2. particle size

3. mixing

4. nature of solvent or solute

With more mixing,rate

We can’t controlthis factor.

Classes of Solutions

aqueous solution: solvent = water

amalgam:e.g.,

tincture:

e.g.,

organic solution:

solvent = alcohol

dental amalgam

tincture of iodine (for cuts)

solvent = mercury

water = “the universal solvent”

solventcontains ________

Organic solvents includebenzene, toluene, hexane, etc.

carbon

Non-Solution Definitions

insoluble: “will NOT dissolve in”e.g.,

immiscible: refers to two liquids thatwill NOT form a solution

e.g.,

suspension: appears uniform while being stirred, but settles over time

e.g.,

sand and water

water and oil

liquid medications

Molecular Polaritynonpolar molecules:

-- e– are shared equally -- tend to be symmetric e.g.,

e.g.,

polar molecules:-- e– NOT shared equally

“Like dissolves like.”

polar + polar = solution nonpolar + nonpolar = solution

polar + nonpolar = suspension (won’t mix evenly)

Anabolic steroids and HGH arefat-soluble, synthetic hormones.

Using Solubility Principles

Chemicals used by body obey solubility principles.

-- water-soluble vitamins: e.g.,

-- fat-soluble vitamins: e.g.,

vitamin C

vitamins A & D

Dry cleaning employs nonpolar liquids.

Using Solubility Principles (cont.)

-- polar liquids damage wool, silk

-- also, dry clean for stubborn stains(ink, rust, grease)

-- tetrachloroethylene was in longtime use

C=CCl

ClCl

Cl

emulsifying agent (emulsifier):

molecules w/both a polar AND a nonpolar end --

-- allows polar and nonpolar substances to mix

e.g., soap lecithin eggs

Na1+

detergent

soap vs. detergent-- --made from animal

and vegetable fats made from petroleum

-- works better in hardwater

Hard water contains minerals w/ions like Ca2+, Mg2+,and Fe3+ that replace Na1+ at polar end of soapmolecule. Soap is changed into an insolubleprecipitate (i.e., soap scum).

Dilutions of Solutions

Acids (and sometimes bases) are purchased inconcentrated form (“concentrate”) and are easilydiluted to any desiredconcentration.

**Safety Tip:

When diluting, add acid(or base) to water.

How would you mix the above sol’n?

1. Measure out _____ L of conc. H3PO4. 2. In separate container, obtain ____ L of cold H2O.

3. In fume hood, slowly pour H3PO4 into cold H2O.

Cost Analysis with Dilutions

2.5 L of 12 M HCl(i.e., “concentrate”)

Cost: $25.71

0.500 L of0.15 M HCl

Cost: $6.35

How many 0.500 L-samples of 0.15 m HCl can bemade from the bottle of concentrate?

12 M

MC VC = MD VD

(2.5 L) = 0.500 MVD = 200 L

400 samples @ $6.35 ea. = $2,540

Moral:Buy the concentrateand mix it yourself to

any desired concentration.

(Expensive water!)

(VD)

You have 75 mL of conc. HF (28.9 M); you need15.0 L of 0.100 M HF. Do you have enough to dothe experiment?

28.9 M

MC VC = MD VD

(0.075 L) = 0.100 M (15 L)

Yes;we’re OK.

Calc. how much conc. you need…

28.9 M (VC) = 0.100 M (15 L)

VC = 0.052 L = 52 mL needed

electrolytes: solutes that dissociate in sol’n

-- conduct elec. current because of free-moving ions -- e.g.,

-- are crucial for many cellular processes -- obtained in a healthy diet

--

acids,bases,most ionic compounds

For sustained exercise ora bout of the flu, sports drinks ensure adequateelectrolytes.

nonelectrolytes: solutes that DO NOT dissociate

--

-- e.g., any type of sugar

DO NOT conduct elec. current (not enough ions)
