Solutions and Solubility

The solubility (S) of a solute is the maximum amount


that dissolves in a fixed quantity of solvent at a given
temperature.

Substances that exhibit similar types of intermolecular


force dissolve in each other.

This is often expressed by saying “like dissolves in like.”


saturated solution

unsaturated solution

supersaturated solution
Factors that affect Solubility

Temperature affects solubility.

Most solids are more soluble at higher


temperatures.

Gases become less soluble as temperature


increases.

Pressure and Solubility of
Gases
Pressure affects the solubility of gases – they become
more soluble at higher pressure.

Problems on conceptual understanding :
a. One manufacturer’s instructions for setting up an aquarium specify that if
boiled water is used, the water must be cooled to room temperature and
allowed to stand overnight before fish are added. Why is it necessary for the
water to stand for such period of time?

b. Danielle has always wanted to start her own carbonated company. Just
recently she opened her bottling company to produce her drinks. She wants
her product to “out-fizz” all other competitors. She wants to maximize the
solubility of the gas in her drink. What conditions would best allow her to
achieve her goal to put her company on top?

c. CJ is trying to increase the solubility of salt in some water. He begins to


anxiously stir the mixture. Should he continue stirring? Why?
d. Using the figure below, compare the solubilities of potassium
nitrate and cesium sulfate
Colligative Properties of Solutions
Colligative properties are properties that depend on the
number of solute particles, not their chemical identity.

(Latin, coligare – which means “tied together”)

Vapor pressure is lower


Boiling point is elevated
Freezing point is lower
Osmosis
Vapor Pressure Lowering

The vapor pressure of a solution containing a


nonvolatile substance is always lower than the
vapor pressure of the pure solvent.

vapor.
Boiling Point Elevation

A solution always boils at a higher temperature


than the pure solvent.

Freezing Point Depression

A solution always freezes at a lower


temperature than the pure solvent.
Boiling and freezing points of solvent and solution.
Osmotic Pressure
Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles from a
region of higher to a region of lower concentration through a
semipermeable membrane.

Solvent will always flow from a more dilute solution to a


more concentrated one.

Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be applied to


prevent the net flow of solvent.
