Solutions are homogeneous (1 phase)
mixtures where 1 of the components
(solvent) is found in larger quantities
than the rest.
All other components are said to be
dissolved in the solvent. These
components are called solutes.
Both solutes and solvents can
be liquids, solids, or gases.
Create a chart with solutes
along the side and solvents at
the top which shows examples
of:
gas in gas, gas in solid, gas in
liquid, liquid in gas, etc.

When solutes are dissolved in solvents the
solutes formula is written followed by a
bracketed subscript which follows.
Examples:
magnesium chloride is dissolved in water
MgCl2(aq)
iodine is dissolved in alcohol
I2(al)
Aqueous solutions have water as the solvent.
They are always indicated by (aq) after the
formula.
Properties of Solutions
The ability to conduct electricity can be used to
classify solutions.
Electrolytes are substances which conduct
electricity when dissolved in water.
Ionic compounds are electrolytes and most
molecular compounds are non-electrolytes.
Solutions can also be categorized as acidic,
basic or neutral. Litmus paper can be used in
this determination.

If the positive end of a water molecule strikes
a chloride ion with enough energy it pulls it
away. The same thing happens if the negative
oxygen end of a water molecule strikes a Na1+
ion.
Na1+ Cl1- Na1+
Na1+ Cl1Cl1- Na1+
These types of interactions are called
intermolecular and the NaCl crystal is
dissociating.
In reality each ion of Na and Cl become
surrounding by a number of water molecules.
Na1+ Cl1- Na1+
Na1+ Cl1Cl1- Na1+
These complexes are called hydrated ions.
All ions in water become hydrated.

Some substances do not
easily dissolve in water.
When air is exhaled in water it does
not easily dissolve.
Why?
Air is made up mostly of nitrogen and oxygen.
N2 and O2. Since they don't dissolve easily in
water they must be non-polar.
N N
Since all three pairs of
electrons are equally
shared this molecule is
non-polar.
Both N2 and O2 molecules are non-polar so they
are not strongly attracted by polar water
molecules.
In general like dissolves like.
Polar materials dissolve easily in polar solvents
and non-polar materials dissolve easily in nonpolar solvents.
Water is often called the universal solvent
because it dissolves so many different
substances.
This is due to the strong forces of attraction
water molecules have on each other and on
positive and negative particles in other
substances.
The H end of one water
molecule is strongly attracted
-ve to the O end of another water
H O
molecule.

The special force of attraction
is called a hydrogen bond and
-ve it occurs between molecules of
H O
substances with H and O, or H

and N, or H and F.
Any molecular substance containing O atoms
bonded to H atoms has polar regions which
exert these attractive H bonds.
For instance alcohols have OH groups. This
allows them to easily mix with water.

Alcohol will dissolve in water but this solution
does not conduct electricity. Why?
There are no mobile ions present.

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
Solutions involve 2 components. The substance
doing the dissolving (solvent) and the substance
being dissolved (solute).
Typically the amount of solute dissolved is
measured and compared to the total volume of
solution. This quantity is known as the
concentration of solution.
A 710 mL bottle of coke has 30 g of sugar.
What is the concentration in g/L (M/V)?
30 g / 0.710 L = 42 g / L
What mass of sugar is there in a 355 mL can of
coke?
42 g / L x 0.355 L = 15 g of sugar
Some solutions, like alcohol mixtures, list the
quantity of alcohol as a percentage by volume
since this number is bigger than the percentage
by mass for solutes with a density smaller than
water.
A can of regular beer is 5% (V/V) alcohol by
volume. What volume of alcohol is their in a
355 mL can of beer?
5/100 x 355 mL = 18 mL of alcohol
Which has more alcohol
45 mL of 40% (V/V) rye whiskey (typical shot)
310 mL of 7% (V/V) vodka cooler
341 mL of 4% (V/V) Coors light bottle of beer
180 mL of 12% (V/V) glass of red wine
45 mL x 40/100 = 18 mL in shot of rye
310 mL x 7/100 = 21.7 mL in the cooler
341 mL x 4/100 = 13.6 mL in the beer
180 mL x 12/100 = 21.6 mL in the wine
A 1.0 L sample of water is found to have 0.0012
g of lead.
The molar concentration works out to be a very
small number. To avoid using really small
numbers for concentrations of dilute solutions
another more practical scale is used. This scale
is called parts per million.
What is the ppm of lead for the example above?
1000 L would have 1.2 g of lead so it is 1.2 g in
1000 L or 1200 mg / 1000 L or 1.2 mg / 1.0 L
ppm can be expressed in a variety of ways
1 ppm = 1 g/1000 L or
1 ppm = 1 g / 1000 000 mL or
1 ppm = 1 g / 106 mL or
1 ppm = 1000 mg / 1000 L or
1 ppm = 1 mg / L
Calculating ppm
In a chemical analysis 3.4 mg of lead was
found in 100 mL of tap water. Find the ppm of
lead.
ppm = 1 mg/L = 3.4 mg / 0.1 L = 34 ppm
What fraction of a part per million (ppm) is a
part per billion (ppb)?
1/1000
So 1 ppm = ? ppb
1 ppm = 1000 ppb
An even smaller concentration unit is a part
per trillion (ppt)
1000 ppb = 1 ppt
1 mg in 1.0 L is 1 ppm
1 mg in 1000 L is a ppb
1 mg in 1 000 000 L is a ppt
Measuring Quantities of Solutes in Solutions
The quantity of solute can be measured in
grams or moles. The total volume of the
solution is measured in L. The amount of
solute in a given volume of solution is
measured using these units:

or
mol

density and percentage
composition.
