Solutions and Solubility
9. Non-Electrolyte: a solution that does not conduct electricity and thus is not ionized.
TEMPERATURE VOLUME OF SOLUTION MASS OF EMPTY BEAKER MASS OF BEAKER, PLUS SOLID
1(a). You can find the graph for solubility (g/ml) VS. Temperature below.
1(b). The generalization that one can perceive from the effect that temperature has on solubility
is quite clear: as temperatures rise, an increase in solubility will result; however, an increase in
temperature may decrease solubility.
Where “M” is the molarity, “moles” is the number of mols, and L is the volume in litres.
Things to Remember:
• Molarity is expressed in units of mols/L, or M.
• You will sometimes have to use “KHD[ ]dcm” when dealing with molarity.
• When dealing with molarity problems, you will only use grams when it is asking for the mass
of the chemical formula, so you may need to convert from mols to grams, or vice-versa.
0.0877 mols
Molarity = = 1.3 mols/L
0.07 L
V1 V2
M1 M2
M = concentration V = volume
Since the amount of solute remains constant on both solutions, they both contain the same
number of mols.
M1 = moles/V1 M2 = moles/V2
moles = M1V1 moles = M2V2
This above equation is known as the dilution formula and it is very useful when doing labs.
Things to Remember:
• I = initial and F = final
• M1 and V1 are of the original solution, while M2 and V2 are the new products of dilution.
• You will sometimes have to use “KHD[ ]dcm” when dealing with Dilutions, as you must use
only “L” and not “mL”.
M1 = 3.0 M (initial)
V1 = 25 mL (initial)
M2 = ? 1.15 M (final)
V2 = 65.0 mL (final)
(3.0 M)(0.025 L)
M2 = = 1.15 M
(0.065 L)
