Solutions and Solubility Overview

This document provides notes on solutions and solubility from a Chemistry I class taught by Mrs. Will. It defines key terms like solution, solvent, and solute. It explains that ionic substances like NaCl dissolve in water by breaking into individual ions, and that polar covalent substances like sucrose also dissolve in water due to hydrogen bonding. It states that "like dissolves like" - water dissolves sucrose but not oil, as oil is nonpolar. It defines saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions, and concentrated versus dilute solutions. It concludes with sample problems involving calculating percentages, molarity, molality, and mole fractions.

Solutions and Solubility Notes

Basic Definitions
 Solution: homogeneous mixture in which components are uniformly intermingled
 Solvent: substance present in the largest amount which does the dissolving
 Solutes: other substances dissolved in the solvent
 Aqueous solution: one in which water is the solvent

Dissolving of ionic substances (NaCl) in water


When an ionic substance dissolves in water, it breaks up into individual cations and anions.
(see the following animations)

Water also dissolves polar covalent substances:


Like dissolves like.
 Water dissolves sucrose (OH groups on sucrose can hydrogen bond)
 Carbon tetrachloride dissolves oil (both nonpolar)
 Oil doesn't dissolve in water (oil is nonpolar and can’t form attractions to water or disrupt the H-
bonding in water

Solution Composition Terms


 Saturated solution: contains as much solute as will dissolve at that temperature.
 Unsaturated solution: has not reached the limit of solute that will dissolve
 Supersaturated solution: contains more solute than will dissolve at that temperature
o See link: [Link]

 Concentrated solution: relatively large amount of solute dissolved


 Dilute solution: relatively small amount of solute dissolved
