GENERAL CHEMISTRY - High Temp, Low Solubility of gas in


G. SOLUTIONS liquid
- homogeneous mixture
- Components: QUALITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF SOL’NS
1. Solute: present in smaller qty Concentration
2.Solvent: present in larger qty; - Amt of solute dissolved in a solvent
dissolving medium or in a sol’n
-Whenever H2O acts as a solvent, we call - Ways of expressing concentration
the sol’n AQUEOUS SOL’NS 1. Qualitative
a. Dilute Sol’n – relatively small
NaCl(s) à NaCl(aq) amt of solute is dissolved
b. Concentrated Sol’n –
SOLUBILITY and SOLUBILITY RULES relatively large amt of solute
Intermolecular intrxns involved in the is dissolved
sol’n process: c. Degree of Saturation
i. Unsaturated Sol’n
Solute-Solute < Solvent-Solute > - < than max amt of
Solvent-Solvent solute in a given
solvent
Solvent-Solute intrxns are either ii. Saturated Sol’n
comparable to or greater than the - max amt of solute in
Solute-Solute, and Solvent-Solvent to a given solvent
result into a solution iii. Supersaturated Sol’n
- > than max amt of
“Like dissolves Like” solute in a given
polar and ionic solute à polar solvent solvent
nonpolar solute à nonpolar solvent - unstable
because of their similarity of IMFA

SOLUBILITY
- Max amt of solute that can be
dissolved in a solvent at certain temp
- Soluble, slightly soluble, insoluble

FACTORS AFFFECTING SOLUBILITY


1. Nature of solute and solvent
- Polarity of solvents
- Solute-Solvent intrxns
2. Pressure effects
- Solubility of gas in liquid
- High Pressure = High Solubility of gas
in liquid
- Henry’s Law: Sg =kPg
3. Temperature effects
- Solubility of solid in liquid
- High Temp, High Solubility of solid in
liquid
- Solubility of gas in liquid
2. Percent by volume (%v/v)
2. Quantitative
Units of Concentration
1. Percent by mass (%m/m)
Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass of Sol’n
= Mass solute + Mass solvent
3. Parts-per-million (ppm)

4. Parts-per-billion (ppb)
UNITS OF CONCENTRATION 2. MOLALITY = mol/kg
1. MOLARITY (M) = mol/L
3. NORMALITY (N) = eq/L
n = eq/mol
4. MOLE FRACTION (X)
