What is a Chemical Solution?



  • Homogeneous Mixture (Two or more substances mixed in a uniform composition)

  • Any phase can be a solution



Two components of a chemical Solution

Soulute-Dissolves in the soltion

Solvent-Dissolves



Factors that affect the solubility

  • Temperature (solubility does not always increase with temperature) (Gasses are more soluble when it is colder/most dissolved oxygen)

  • Pressure(affects gasses mainly)

  • Polarity



Factors affecting the rate of solution

Stir it to increase the rate of the solute coming in contact with the solvent

Types of chemical solutions

  1. Aqueous Solutions

-Dissolved in water

  1. Non-aqueous Solutions

-Solutions where solvents other than water are used like alcohol or benzene

  1. Saturated solutions

-Solutions containing the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature

  1. Unsaturated Solutions

-Solutions containing less solute than the maximum can dissolve

  1. Supersaturated Solutions

-Solutions containing more solute than the maximum that can dissolve at a given temperature, typically unstable (Big fam vacation sneaking in friends bc hotels are full 100 max but now there’s about 120 here it is not safe especially during a fire because the hotel is holding a higher capacity of people than it holds - skiing into more into your water than it can hold)



Colloids and Suspensions

Colloids

Mixtures that have particles dispersed throughout and the particles are a bit bigger (can reflect light or the Tyndall effect (Cups lasers go through or jello it is not a solution it is a colloid because it reflects light same with milk) Do not have particles settle

Suspensions

When particles are really big makes …. ( when going to a lake and scooping a big bucket of water it would be murky and the particles would settle and sit for days it will settle out)

Solutions

Tiny particle size

Alloys

Solit solution made from two or more metals (all types of different solutions of metals)



Electrolytes (Plain old Salt)

  1. Conductivity

When put in water it will conduct electricity

  1. Ionization

  2. Examples

Salts, acids, and bases are common examples of substances that undergo ionization in water, allowing them to dissociate into ions and carry an electric current.
