Unit 5: 1

Solutions

A SOLUTION is a mixture

that is homogeneous at the

molecular level.

A solution is a mixture that is so

well mixed that is the same

throughout, even down to the

molecules. Yet these molecules

can still be separated physically.

The solvent is what

dissolves the solute.

Saturated—When a solution cannot

dissolve more solute (it’s full).

Unsaturated—When a solution can

hold more solute (not full yet).

Supersaturated— When a solution has

more solute than it can hold (over full).

The solute will eventually fall out of a

supersaturated solution (settle out).

NON-Solution Mixtures

Colloids—a mixture that has

larger particles, like milk, may-

onnaise, egg whites. The parti-

cles come in clusters, not single

molecules (like in solutions)

and they don’t settle (like in suspensions).

Suspensions—a temporary mixture in

which the particles eventually settle.

Suspensions can be easily filtered.

Silt in water (dirt kicked up in water)

is a common suspension.

Some colloids exhibit the

Tyndall effect, which is

the scattering of light as

it passes thru. Light

scattering in fog is the

Tyndall effect.

Solutions No

Suspensions Yes

Mixture Particle size Scatters Light? Settles? Separated by filtering?

Soluble—

something

that can be

dissolved.

Insoluble—

something

that cannot be

dissolved.

Oil is

insoluble in water.

Sugar is

soluble in water.

Soluble vs. Insoluble

18 K

Non-pure gold

(less than 24K) is a

solution of silver and gold.

A alloy is a solution of two

metals melted together. When something goes

into solution (mixes in)

we say it dissolves.

Salt dissolves into water to

make salt water—a solution.

Common solutions:

salt water (salt dissolved

in water); syrup (sugar

dissolved in water).

Most water is a

solution because

there are dissolved

minerals in it.

Companies dis-

solve particular

minerals in

bottled water to

add flavor because

pure water has no taste at all.

Solvent vs. Solute

Water is the

solvent because

it is dissolving

the salt.

Salt is

the solute

because it is

what is being

dissolved.

Salt Water

Concentration How much solute is dissolved in the solution we call the concentration.

A solution with more solute is more concentrated.

Example: 100 mL of water can

hold 40 g of NaCl at 60º C.

40 g of NaCl is saturated (full).

30 g of NaCl is unsaturated

(it can still hold 10 g more).

50 g of NaCl is supersaturated

(it has 10 g too much).

If a solution

is too

concentrated

you can dilute

it by adding

more solvent.

Adding water to salt water dilutes

it—making it less concentrated.

Suspensions and colloids are mixtures that seem like solutions, but are not.

The particles are bigger and are not actually dissolved in the liquid.

Unit 5: 2

Water—the (Nearly) Universal Solvent

Why does water dissolve so many solutes?

Because water is a polar molecule.

Polar molecules have positive and negative sides.

(Like magnets have north and south poles.)

A water “chain” is held together

by molecular cohesion. This

attraction between the negative

oxygens and the positive hydro-

gens is called a hydrogen bond.

These internal electromagnetic

forces (opposites attracting) are

responsible for water tension (why

bugs can walk on water) and

capillary action (how plants can

“suck up” water from their roots).

without its one electron

leaves a proton).

Negative side

extra electrons from

the Hydrogens).

+

The Covalent Water Molecule.

Ionic compound are made up

of positive and negative ions.

When placed in water, the

polarity of water pulls the ions

apart (called dissociation) and

the compounds dissolves.

Polar molecules will dissolve

in water. Nonpolar molecules

will not (like oil).

Salt (NaCl) dissolved in water.

Stirring —speeds up how fast

the solvent touches the solute and

moves solute into unsaturated

regions of the solvent.

Increasing Temperature —

speeds up how fast the solute dissolves

because increased temperature means

faster moving molecules AND more

room for more solute (see below).

Water is called the “nearly” universal solvent because it dissolves so many things.

Water will dissolve ionic and polar compounds, but NOT non-polar ones, like wax or oil.

The Oxygen atom

has more protons than

the Hydrogens and,

close to a full shell,

is more attractive to

the electrons, so the

electrons from the

Hydrogens spend more

time around the Oxygen.

Crushing (make particles smaller)

—Smaller particles really mean more

surface area for the solvent to touch

the solute (more sides available).

Powders dissolve faster than cubes.

When liquids heat up they expand (a bit). The extra space between

molecules affects solids differently than gases, since solids tend to sink

and gases tend to rise (and are compressible).

Cold liquid: closer molecules, so

more gas can be trapped inside.

Cold liquid: less solids can fit

between the closer molecules.

Warm liquid: more room between

molecules, so gases can escape.

Warm liquid: more solids can fit

between the spread out molecules.

Increasing Amount Dissolved

Changing Dissolving Rate

Temperature

Increasing pressure

forces more gas

into solution

(holding it in). This

is why colas fizz

when opened. The

CO2 is forced in

under pressure: release the pressure

(open it) and the gas escapes. Since

solids are not compressible, pressure

has no effect on solid solutes.

Many of our foods are acidic: citric (lemons; oranges); apples; tomato sauce. Acids taste sour and feel “squeaky” when you rub your fingers together.

Many of our cleaning products are basic (ammonia [Windex]; soap; bleach) because they neutralize acidic food. Bases taste bitter and feel slippery.

Strong acids and bases —ionize almost

completely in water, contributing many ions.

Strong acids and bases can burn your skin or eyes.

Weak acids and bases—ionize incompletely,

contributing just a few ions.

When acids and bases are mixed they neutralize each other.

Equal concentrations of acids and bases make neutral salt water.

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

Acid + Base → Salt Water

Diluting Acids

Chemists call ANY ionic

compound a salt. NaCl is

a special salt: table salt.

Never add water to a concentrated acid!

Always add acids to water!

When acid compounds are dissolved in water,

heat is produced (sometimes a lot of heat). Acids

are more dense than water, so if you add water to

a concentrated acid, water sits on top and can

flash boil (quickly boil).

The boiled water can

splash up burning you

with hot water and acid.

If the acid is added to

water it sinks thru the

water and is diluted

safely.

pH and Acid Rain

Plants and animals need water close

to neutral (pH 7) to survive.

Due to pollution from combustion

reactions, rain today can be acidic.

Raid less than pH 5.6 we call acid

rain.

Acid rain can kills plants, cause

asthma and other physical problems.

Acid rain also eats away statues and historical

landmarks.

The Roman ruins, the pyramids of Egypt, and

other treasures of the world are being slowly

dissolved away by acid rain. More damage

has been done in the last century than in the

last 2,000 years.

Without stopping pollution (and acid rain)

these treasures may be lost forever.

Kinds of Radiation There are three kinds of radiation: alpha decay; beta decay; gamma rays.

Atoms can be changed The Greek philosopher Democritus believed there to be a smallest, indivisible particle:

atomos. In the early 20th century scientists learned that the atom is indeed divisible (can

be split) and even fusible (can be combined).

All Atoms are not Stable Neutrons add strong nuclear force without repelling the protons. That is why as atoms add

more protons, they have to add more neutrons (like glue) to keep the nucleus together. But

eventually the strong nuclear force is not strong enough.

electro-magnetic repulsion

The strong nuclear force

is a short distance force. The electro-magnetic re-

pulsion of the protons is a

long distances force.

Eventually there are too

many protons and the re-

pulsion of the protons

wins. Over 83 protons and

the nucleus will undergo

radioactive decay.

Protons and

neutrons are

known as

nucleons

because they

are in the

nucleus.

Fission

Fission versus Fusion

Fusion

Large atoms are split apart. Uranium is

split into smaller atoms.

1 lb completely fissioned Uranium =

6,000 barrels of oil =

1,000 tons high-quality coal

Toxic radioactive waste

that takes billions of years

of decay to become safe.

Small atoms are fused together. Two

hydrogen atoms are fused into a helium atom.

1 km3 of sea water = more energy than all

known fossil fuels in the world.

Perfectly safe Helium.

We could make balloons.

There are two types of nuclear reactions.

Nuclear Process

Waste Products

Energy Produced

Half-life: the time it takes half of a radioactive substance to decay. Carbon-14 has a

half-life of 5,730 years. In 5,730 years 100 kg of carbon-14 would reduce to 50 kg.

Unfortunately, a radioactive substance never decays to zero; there’s always a half more.

The real winner: nuclear fusion. So why don’t we use it? Fusion occurs in the sun. It takes

millions of degrees to even start fusion. So far we can’t control it. But scientists are working on it.

As a future voter — demand money for fusion research!

Half-life

Carbon Dating Scientist use the known half-life of carbon-14 (5,730 years) to date plants, animals, and artifacts

less than 50,000 years old.. We know how much carbon-14 is in things when they die, so by

analyzing how much carbon-14 is in a sample today, scientists know when something died.

Chain Reactions In fission a neutron splits an nucleus. This produces another neutron (or more), which splits

another nucleus, making more neutrons, etc. A chain reaction is like toppling dominos.

The sun uses fusion

and is the source of

all power on earth.

Nuclear power

plants use fission.

A simple example:

Half-life: 50 years

Starting mass: 400 kg

After 50 years:

(1st half-life)

200 kg left

After 100 years:

(2nd half-life)

100 kg left

After 150 years:

(3rd half-life)

50 kg left

After 200 years:

(4th half-life)

25 kg left

Chain Reactions In fission a neutron splits an nucleus. This produces another neutron (or more), which splits

another nucleus, making more neutrons, etc. A chain reaction is like toppling dominos.

2. Gamma Ray-E

3. Beta Particle-B

4. Radioactive-C

5. Uranium-A

A. The largest natural element. Fuel for fission reactors.

B. Can be stopped by wood; occurs when a neutron breaks into a proton and elec-tron.

C. An atom that emits energy or a particle is called this.

D. A helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons); low in energy.

E. Powerful radiation that can cause bio-logical damage; takes many feet of concrete to stop.

Unit 5:

Dissolving Lab

Purpose –

To demonstrate how various factors influence solubility including temperature, surface area (particle size), and agitation.

Preparation and Materials –

Three sources of water of varied temperature: ice water, room temperature, hot water (Hotplates or Bunsen burners). One large

Erlenmeyer flask will suffice for each.

Sugar cubes (large particle), granulated sugar (medium), powdered sugar (small) for three varied particle sizes.

Stirring sticks or spoons to agitate the water.

Timers to record the amount of time for the solute to completely dissolve.

One beaker per lab group.

NOTE: Powdered sugar contains corn starch, which will not dissolve, leaving the water cloudy. You may have to do an untimed

trial to learn to distinguish when the powdered sugar is dissolved and the only corn starch remains.

Data Tables

How Does Change of Temperature Affect Solubility Rate?

How Does Change of Agitation Affect Solubility Rate?

How Does Change of Particle Size Affect Solubility Rate?

Student Outcome –

Write a scientific explanation how temperature, particle size, and agitation affect the dissolving rate of a solute, being sure to give

proof to support your claim.
