What is a solution?
Solution – homogeneous mixture Solvent – substance present in largest amount Solutes – other substances in the solution Aqueous solution – solution with water as the
solvent

A. Solubility – Substances Insoluble in Water
Nonpolar oil does not interact with polar water nonpolar substances are hydrophobic.
Water-water hydrogen bonds keep the water from mixing with the nonpolar molecules.

Forming Solutions
A. Solubility – How Substances Dissolve
A “hole” must be made in the water structure for each solute particle.
The lost water-water interactions must be replaced by water-solute interactions.
“like dissolves like” – polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents

Solution Composition: Concentration
• Amounts of substances can vary in different solutions. – Concentration - amount of solute in relation to solvent– Qualitative measures of concentration
• concentrated – relatively large amount of solute
• dilute – relatively small amount of solute

Forming Solutions
The solubility of a solute is limited. Saturated solution – contains as much solute as will dissolve at that temperature
Unsaturated solution – has not reached the limit of solute that will dissolve at that temperature
Solution Composition: How much solute can you dissolve in the solvent?

Interpreting Solubility Curves
Section 15.1
Forming Solutions
Supersaturated solution – occurs when a solution is saturated at an elevated temperature and then allowed to cool but all of the solid remains dissolved
• Contains more dissolved solid than a saturated solution at that temperature
• Unstable – adding a crystal causes precipitation
B. Solution Composition: An Introduction
Section 15.1
Forming Solutions
Making a Supersaturated Solution
At 20oC, a solution containing ~19g Na2SO4 dissolved in it would be
saturated. To dissolve more solute, the temperature has to
be increased.
If we dissolve more solute at a higher
temperature, then cool the solution slowly so the
extra solute stays dissolved in it, the
solution will be supersaturated.

Forming Solutions
Factors Affecting the Rate of Dissolving Increasing the number of collisions between solute and
solvent particles increases the rate (speed) at which a solid dissolves.
Three factors that speed up dissolving:– Increasing Surface area – dissolving occurs at the
surface the greater the surface area exposed to solvent, the faster the dissolving processEx.: A sugar cube will dissolve faster if it is ground to small crystals, increasing the total surface area.
– Stirring – removes newly dissolved particles from the surface of the solid and continuously exposes the surface to fresh solvent.
– Increasing Temperature – higher temperatures cause molecules to move more rapidly; in addition, most solids are more soluble at higher temperatures*.Ex.: More sugar will dissolve in hot water than in cold water.
*For gases dissolved in water, the opposite is true: the solubility of gases in water typically decreases as the temperature increases.
