Solutions
Definition: Solutions are homogeneous mixtures composed of two or more different chemical substances.
A solution may consist of different phases of substances, including:- A solid and a liquid
A gas and a liquid
A gas with another gas
Components of a Solution:- Majority Component: Solvent
Minority Component: Solute
Solubility: When one substance (solute) dissolves in another (solvent), it is said to be soluble.
Formation of Solutions: Solutions form due to intermolecular forces, where solute particles interact with solvent particles through these forces.
Concentration Measurements
Concentration Definition: A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture composed of a solute dissolved in a solvent.
Concentration Measurements:- Mass Percent:
Parts Per Million (ppm):
Parts Per Billion (ppb):
Molarity:
Mole Fraction:
Mass Ratio:
Molality (m):
Concentration Units
Molarity (M): Amount of solute (in mol) per volume of solution (in L).
Molality (m): Moles of solute per mass of solvent (in kg).
Mole Fraction (X): Amount of solute (in mol) over the total moles of solute and solvent.
Percent by Mass (%): Ratio of mass of solute to the total mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage.
Parts Per Million by Mass (ppm): Mass of solute per total mass of solution scaled by .
Parts Per Billion by Mass (ppb): Mass of solute per total mass of solution scaled by .
Parts by Volume: Similar to mass but in terms of volume, using similar scaling factors for ppm and ppb.

Effect of Intermolecular Forces on Solution Formation
Energy Changes: Involves differences in attractive forces between particles.- To mix, must overcome:
All solute-solute attractive forces
Some solvent-solvent attractive forces
Both processes are endothermic.
Solubility
Definition: Maximum amount (in grams or moles) that can be dissolved in a given solvent at a specific temperature.
Factors Affecting Solubility:- Solute type
Solvent type
Temperature
Pressure (for gases)
Example Solubility Values by Polarity: - MgSO₄: 71g / 100g H₂O at 20°C
CS₂: 0.22g / 100g H₂O at 20°C
Temperature Dependence:- Solids typically more soluble at higher temperatures (with exceptions).
Gases generally more soluble at lower temperatures and higher pressures (e.g., soda).
"Like Dissolves Like" principle.
Temperature Dependence of Solubility of Solids in Water
Saturation Concentration: Depends on temperature and pressure.
Trends:- Generally, solubility increases with temperature for solids.
Solubility curves can represent saturated (on the line), unsaturated (below the line), and supersaturated (above the line) solutions.
Enthalpy of Solution
ΔHsoln: Could be endothermic or exothermic.- Usually exothermic for gases and endothermic for solids.
Three energy components in dissolving solids:1. Disruption of solute particle interactions.
Disruption of solvent particle interactions.
Favorable creation of solute-solvent interactions.
The enthalpy of solution can be calculated as:
Solution Process
Separating the solute into constituent particles.
Separating the solvent particles to make room for the solute.
Mixing solute with solvent.
The overall enthalpy change can be represented as:
Henry
’s Law
Law Statement: The concentration (solubility) of a dissolved gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.
Formula:
where k = specific constant for gas/liquid interaction.Concept Question: If a closed bottle of soda has a pressure of 1.5 atm of CO₂ and is increased to 2.0 atm with N₂, will CO₂ concentration increase?
Example Calculation: What is [CO₂] in water under 5.00 atm with k for CO₂ = 0.031 mol/L·atm at 25°C?
Practical Examples of Henry
’s Law
Example: Calculate the grams of CO₂ dissolved in a 1.00 L bottle under 2.40 atm at 25°C:- Calculation:
resulting in 3.55 g of CO₂.
Raoult
’s Law and Vapor Pressure
Concept: Vapor pressure is a colligative property, meaning it depends on the concentration of solute, not its identity.
Formula:
The identity of particles does not matter, but the number of particles present is critical.
Example Calculation: - Calculate the vapor pressure of a glucose solution prepared with 250 g of glucose in 500 g of H₂O at 25°C.
Use .
Boiling Point Elevation and Freezing Point Depression
Impacts on Phase Diagrams:- The addition of solute lowers vapor pressure, raising boiling point and lowering freezing point, expanding the liquid region in the phase diagram.
Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure
Definition of Osmosis: The flow of solvent from a lower concentration solution to a higher concentration solution through a semipermeable membrane.
Importance of Semipermeable Membranes: Allow solvent passage while restricting solute flow.
Osmotic Pressure: Measured pressure needed to prevent flow and is proportional to solute concentration.
Formula:
where R = 0.08206 (atm·L)/(mol·K).
Osmotic Pressure Calculation Example
Given: 0.133 g protein in 2.2 mL solution and osmotic pressure = 23.5 torr at 25°C.
Use the equation to find molar mass of the protein:
where volume V is expressed in liters.
