The Dissolution Process
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances. Dissolving medium is called the solventsolvent. Dissolved species are called the solutesolute.
There are three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) which when mixed two at a time gives nine different kinds of mixtures. Seven of the possibilities can be homogeneous. Two of the possibilities must be heterogeneous.
6
The Dissolution ProcessSeven Homogeneous Possibilities
Solute Solvent Example Solid Liquid salt water Liquid Liquid mixed drinks Gas Liquid carbonated
beverages Liquid Solid dental amalgams Solid Solid alloys Gas Solid metal pipes Gas Gas air
Two Heterogeneous Possibilities Solid Gas dust in air Liquid Gas clouds, fog
7
Spontaneity of the Dissolution Process As an example of dissolution, let’s assume that
the solvent is a liquid. Two major factors affect dissolution of solutes
1. Change of energy content or enthalpy of solution, Hsolution
If Hsolution is exothermic (< 0) dissolution is favored.
If Hsolution is endothermic (> 0) dissolution is not favored.
8
Spontaneity of the Dissolution Process2. Change in disorder, or randomness, of the
solution Smixing If Smixing increases (> 0) dissolution is favored.
If Smixing decreases (< 0) dissolution is not favored.
Thus the best conditions for dissolution are: For the solution process to be exothermic.
Hsolution < 0
For the solution to become more disordered. Smixing > 0
9
Spontaneity of the Dissolution Process Disorder in mixing a solution is very common.
Smixing is almost always > 0.
What factors affect Hsolution? There is a competition between several different
attractions. Solute-solute attractions such as ion-ion
attraction, dipole-dipole, etc. Breaking the solute-solute attraction requires an
absorption of E.
10
Spontaneity of the Dissolution Process Solvent-solvent attractions such as hydrogen
bonding in water. This also requires an absorption of E.
Solvent-solute attractions, solvationsolvation, releases energy. If solvation energy is greater than the sum of the solute-
solute and solvent-solvent attractions, the dissolution is exothermic, Hsolution < 0.
If solvation energy is less than the sum of the solute-solute and solvent-solvent attractions, the dissolution is endothermic, Hsolution > 0.
11
Spontaneity of the Dissolution Process
12
Dissolution of Solids in Liquids The energy released (exothermic) when a
mole of formula units of a solid is formed from its constituent ions (molecules or atoms for nonionic solids) in the gas phase is called the crystal lattice energycrystal lattice energy.
+ - + -(g) (g) (s)M X M X crystal lattice energy
•The crystal lattice energy is a measure of the attractive forces in a solid.•The crystal lattice energy increases as the charge density increases.
13
Dissolution of Solids in Liquids Dissolution is a competition between:
1. Solute -solute attractions crystal lattice energy for ionic solids
2. Solvent-solvent attractions H-bonding for water
Solute-solvent attractions Solvation or hydration energy
14
Dissolution of Solids in Liquids Solvation is directed by the water to ion
attractions as shown in these electrostatic potentials.
15
Dissolution of Solids in Liquids In an exothermic dissolution, energy is
released when solute particles are dissolved. This energy is called the energy of solvation or the
hydration energy (if solvent is water).
Let’s look at the dissolution of CaCl2.

Dissolution of Liquids in Liquids (Miscibility)
Most polar liquids are miscible in other polar liquids.
In general, liquids obey the “like dissolves like” rule. Polar molecules are soluble in polar solvents. Nonpolar molecules are soluble in nonpolar solvents.
For example, methanol, CH3OH, is very soluble in water
20
Dissolution of Liquids in Liquids (Miscibility) Nonpolar molecules essentially “slide” in
between each other. For example, carbon tetrachloride and benzene
are very miscible.

Dissolution of Gases in Liquids Polar gases are more soluble in water than
nonpolar gases. This is the “like dissolves like” rule in action.
Polar gases can hydrogen bond with water Some polar gases enhance their solubility by
reacting with water.

Dissolution of Gases in Liquids A few nonpolar gases are soluble in water because
they react with water.
Because gases have very weak solute-solute interactions, gases dissolve in liquids in exothermic processes.

Rates of Dissolution and Saturation Finely divided solids dissolve more rapidly than large crystals.
Compare the dissolution of granulated sugar and sugar cubes in cold water.
The reason is simple, look at a single cube of NaCl.
The enormous increase in surface area helps the solid to dissolve faster.

24
Rates of Dissolution and Saturation Saturated solutionsSaturated solutions have established an
equilbrium between dissolved and undissolved solutes Examples of saturated solutions include:
Air that has 100% humidity. Some solids dissolved in liquids.
25
Rates of Dissolution and Saturation Symbolically this equilibrium is written as:
In an equilibrium reaction, the forward rate of reaction is equal to the reverse rate of reaction.
-aqaqs XM MX
26
Rates of Dissolution and Saturation SupersaturatedSupersaturated solutions have higher-than-
saturated concentrations of dissolved solutes.
27
Effect of Temperature on Solubility
According to LeChatelier’s Principle when stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system responds in a way that best relieves the stress.
Since saturated solutions are at equilibrium, LeChatelier’s principle applies to them. Possible stresses to chemical systems include:
1. Heating or cooling the system.
2. Changing the pressure of the system.
3. Changing the concentrations of reactants or products.
28
Effect of Temperature on Solubility What will be the effect of heating or cooling the water
in which we wish to dissolve a solid? It depends on whether the dissolution is exo- or endothermic.
For an exothermic dissolution, heat can be considered as a product.
Warming the water will decrease solubility and cooling the water will increase the solubility.
Predict the effect on an endothermic dissolution like this one.

29
Effect of Temperature on Solubility For ionic solids that dissolve endothermicallyendothermically
dissolution is enhanced by heatingheating. For ionic solids that dissolve exothermically exothermically
dissolution is enhanced by coolingcooling. Be sure you understand these trends.
30
Effect of Pressure on Solubility Pressure changes have little or no effect on
solubility of liquids and solids in liquids. Liquids and solids are not compressible.
Pressure changes have large effects on the solubility of gases in liquids. Sudden pressure change is why carbonated
drinks fizz when opened. It is also the cause of several scuba diving related
problems including the “bends”.
31
Effect of Pressure on Solubility The effect of pressure on the solubility of gases in
liquids is described by Henry’s Law.

We must introduce two new concentration units in this chapter.
34
Molality and Mole Fraction
Molality is a concentration unit based on the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
m moles of solute

in dilute aqueous solutions molarity and
molality are nearly equal
35

molality of an aqueous solution that is 10.0% glucose, C6H12O6. The density of the solution is 1.04 g/mL. 10.0% glucose solution has several medical uses. 1 mol C6H12O6 = 180 g

Molality and Mole Fraction Mole fraction is the number of moles of one component divided
by the moles of all the components of the solution Mole fraction is literally a fraction using moles of one component as
the numerator and moles of all the components as the denominator. In a two component solution, the mole fraction of one
component, A, has the symbol XA.

Colligative Properties of Solutions Colligative properties are properties of
solutions that depend solely on the number of particles dissolved in the solution. Colligative properties do not depend on the kinds
of particles dissolved. Colligative properties are a physical property
of solutions.
44
Colligative Properties of Solutions There are four common types of colligative
properties:1. Vapor pressure lowering
2. Freezing point depression
3. Boiling point elevation
4. Osmotic pressure Vapor pressure lowering is the key to all
four of the colligative properties.
45
Lowering of Vapor Pressure and Raoult’s Law Addition of a nonvolatile solute to a solution
lowers the vapor pressure of the solution. The effect is simply due to fewer solvent
molecules at the solution’s surface. The solute molecules occupy some of the spaces
that would normally be occupied by solvent. Raoult’s Law models this effect in ideal
solutions.

Lowering of Vapor Pressure and Raoult’s Law This graph shows how the solution’s vapor pressure
is changed by the mole fraction of the solute, which is Raoult’s law.
50
Fractional Distillation Distillation is a technique used to separate solutions
that have two or more volatile components with differing boiling points.
A simple distillation has a single distilling column. Simple distillations give reasonable separations.
A fractional distillation gives increased separations because of the increased surface area. Commonly, glass beads or steel wool are inserted into the
distilling column.
51
Boiling Point Elevation Addition of a nonvolatile solute to a solution
raises the boiling point of the solution above that of the pure solvent. This effect is because the solution’s vapor
pressure is lowered as described by Raoult’s law. The solution’s temperature must be raised to
make the solution’s vapor pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure.
The amount that the temperature is elevated is determined by the number of moles of solute dissolved in the solution.

for freezing point depression and boiling point elevation.
Fundamentally, freezing point depression and boiling point elevation are the same phenomenon. The only differences are the size of the effect which is
reflected in the sizes of the constants, Kf & Kb.
This is easily seen on a phase diagram for a solution.

Determination of Molecular Weight by Freezing Point Depression The size of the freezing point depression
depends on two things:1. The size of the Kf for a given solvent, which are well
known.
2. And the molal concentration of the solution which depends on the number of moles of solute and the kg of solvent.
If Kf and kg of solvent are known, as is often the case in an experiment, then we can determine # of moles of solute and use it to determine the molecular weight.
62
Determination of Molecular Weight by Freezing Point Depression Example 14-7: A 37.0 g sample of a new
covalent compound, a nonelectrolyte, was dissolved in 2.00 x 102 g of water. The resulting solution froze at -5.58oC. What is the molecular weight of the compound?

Colligative Properties and Dissociation of Electrolytes Electrolytes have larger effects on boiling point
elevation and freezing point depression than nonelectrolytes. This is because the number of particles released in
solution is greater for electrolytes One mole of sugar dissolves in water to produce
one mole of aqueous sugar molecules. One mole of NaCl dissolves in water to produce
two moles of aqueous ions: 1 mole of Na+ and 1 mole of Cl- ions
65
Colligative Properties and Dissociation of Electrolytes Remember colligative properties depend on the
number of dissolved particles. Since NaCl has twice the number of particles we can
expect twice the effect for NaCl than for sugar. The table of observed freezing point
depressions in the lecture outline shows this effect.
66
Colligative Properties and Dissociation of Electrolytes Ion pairing or association of ions prevents the
effect from being exactly equal to the number of dissociated ions
67
Colligative Properties and Dissociation of Electrolytes The van’t Hoff factor, symbol i, is used to
introduce this effect into the calculations. i is a measure of the extent of ionization or
dissociation of the electrolyte in the solution.

Osmotic Pressure Osmosis is the net flow of a solvent
between two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane.
The solvent passes from the lower concentration solution into the higher concentration solution.
Examples of semipermeable membranes include:

Osmotic Pressure Osmosis is a rate controlled phenomenon.
The solvent is passing from the dilute solution into the concentrated solution at a faster rate than in opposite direction, i.e. establishing an equilibrium.
The osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of the solvent in an osmosis experiment.

82
Osmotic Pressure Osmotic pressures can be very large.
For example, a 1 M sugar solution has an osmotic pressure of 22.4 atm or 330 p.s.i.
Since this is a large effect, the osmotic pressure measurements can be used to determine the molar masses of very large molecules such as:
1. Polymers
2. Biomolecules like proteins ribonucleotides
83
Osmotic Pressure
Example 14-18: A 1.00 g sample of a biological material was dissolved in enough water to give 1.00 x 102 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution was 2.80 torr at 25oC. Calculate the molarity and approximate molecular weight of the material.

If we apply enough external pressure to an osmotic system to overcome the osmotic pressure, the semipermeable membrane becomes an efficient filter for salt and other dissolved solutes. Ft. Myers, FL gets it drinking water from the Gulf
of Mexico using reverse osmosis. US Navy submarines do as well. Dialysis is another example of this phenomenon.

Colloids Colloids are an intermediate type of mixture that
has a particle size between those of true solutions and suspensions.
The particles do not settle out of the solution but they make the solution cloudy or opaque.
Examples of colloids include:1. Fog2. Smoke3. Paint4. Milk5. Mayonnaise6. Shaving cream7. Clouds

The Tyndall Effect
Colloids scatter light when it is shined upon them. Why they appear cloudy or opaque. This is also why we use low beams on cars when
driving in fog. See Figure 14-18 in Textbook.

The Adsorption Phenomenon Colloids have very large surface areas.
They interact strongly with substances near their surfaces.
One of the reasons why rivers can carry so much suspended silt in the water.

Fe Cl H O Fe O H O + 6 H + Cl
A colloidal particle contains many Fe O H O units with Fe ions
bound to its surface. The + charged particles repel each other and
keep the colloid from precipitating.

Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Colloids Hydrophilic colloids like water and are water soluble.
Examples include many biological proteins like blood plasma. Hydrophobic colloids dislike water and are water insoluble.
Hydrophobic colloids require emulsifying agents to stabilize in water.
Homogenized milk is a hydrophobic colloid. Milk is an emulsion of butterfat and protein particles dispersed in
water The protein casein is the emulsifying agent.
91
Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Colloids Mayonnaise is also a hydrophobic colloid.
Mayonnaise is vegetable oil and eggs in a colloidal suspension with water.
The protein lecithin from egg yolk is the emulsifying agent.
Soaps and detergents are excellent emulsifying agents. Soaps are the Na or K salts of long chain fatty acids. Sodium stearate is an example of a typical soap.

Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Colloids So called “hard water” contains Fe3+, Ca2+,
and/or Mg2+ ions These ions come primarily from minerals that are
dissolved in the water. These metal ions react with soap anions and
precipitate forming bathtub scum and ring around the collar.

Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Colloids Synthetic detergents were designed as soap
substitutes that do not precipitate in hard water. Detergents are good emulsifying agents. Chemically, we can replace COO- on soaps with
sulfonate or sulfate groups

Synthesis Question The world’s record for altitude in flying gliders
was 60,000 feet for many years. It was set by a pilot in Texas who flew into an updraft in front of an approaching storm. The pilot had to fly out of the updraft and head home not because he was out of air, there was still plenty in the bottle of compressed air on board, but because he did not have a pressurized suit on. What would have happened to this pilot’s blood if he had continued to fly higher?
98
Synthesis Question
As the pilot flew higher, the atmospheric pressure became less and less. With the lower atmospheric pressure, eventually the blood in the pilot’s veins would have begun to boil. This is a deadly phenomenon which the pilot wisely recognized.
99
Group Question
Medicines that are injected into humans, intravenous fluids and/or shots, must be at the same concentration as the existing chemical compounds in blood. For example, if the medicine contains potassium ions, they must be at the same concentration as the potassium ions in our blood. Such solutions are called isotonic. Why must medicines be formulated in this fashion?
