Solutions
How Does a Solution Form
The ions are solvated
(surrounded by
solvent).
If the solvent is water,
the ions are
hydrated.
The intermolecular
force here is ion-
dipole.
Solutions
What is enthalpy
• a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to
the total heat content of a system. It is
equal to the internal energy of the system
plus the product of pressure and volume
Solutions
Energy Changes in Solution
To determine the enthalpy
change, we divide the
process into 3 steps.
1. Separation of solute
particles.
2. Separation of solvent
particles to make
‘holes’.
3. Formation of new
interactions between
solute and solvent.
Solutions
Enthalpy Changes in Solution
The enthalpy
change of the
overall process
depends on ∆H for
each of these steps.

Solutions
Enthalpy changes during dissolution
The enthalpy of
solution, ∆Hsoln, can
be either positive or
negative.
∆Hsoln = ∆H1 + ∆H2 + ∆H3
∆Hsoln (MgSO4)= -91.2 kJ/mol --> exothermic
∆Hsoln (NH4NO3)= 26.4 kJ/mol --> endothermic
Solutions
Why do endothermic processes
sometimes occur spontaneously?
Some processes,
like the dissolution
of NH4NO3 in water,
are spontaneous at
room temperature
even though heat is
absorbed, not
released.
Solutions
Enthalpy Is Only Part of the Picture
Entropy is a measure of:
• Dispersal of energy in
the system.
• Number of microstates
(arrangements) in the
system.
b. has greater entropy,
∴ is the favored state
(more on this in chap 19)
Solutions
Entropy changes during dissolution
Each step also involves a
change in entropy.
1. Separation of solute
particles.
2. Separation of solvent
particles to make
‘holes’.
3. Formation of new
interactions between
solute and solvent.
Solutions
SAMPLE EXERCISE: Assessing Entropy Change
In the process illustrated below, water vapor reacts with excess solid sodium
sulfate to form the hydrated form of the salt. The chemical reaction is
Does the entropy of the system increase or decrease?
Solutions
Factors Affecting Solubility
The stronger the
intermolecular
attractions between
solute and solvent,
the more likely the
solute will dissolve.Example: ethanol in water
Ethanol = CH3CH2OH
Intermolecular forces = H-bonds; dipole-dipole; dispersion
Ions in water also have ion-dipole forces.
Solutions
Factors Affecting Solubility
Glucose (which has
hydrogen bonding)
is very soluble in
water.
Cyclohexane (which
only has dispersion
forces) is not water-
soluble.
Solutions
Factors Affecting Solubility
• Vitamin A is soluble in nonpolar compounds
(like fats).
• Vitamin C is soluble in water.
Solutions
Which
vitamin is
water-soluble
and which is
fat-soluble?
Solutions
Gases in Solution
• In general, the
solubility of gases in
water increases with
increasing mass.
Why?
• Larger molecules
have stronger
dispersion forces.
Solutions
Gases in Solution
• The solubility of
liquids and solids
does not change
appreciably with
pressure.
• But, the solubility of
a gas in a liquid is
directly proportional
to its pressure.
Increasing
pressure
above
solution
forces
more gas
to dissolve.
Solutions
Henry’s Law
Sg = kPg
where
• Sg is the solubility of the
gas;
• k is the Henry’s law
constant for that gas in
that solvent;
• Pg is the partial
pressure of the gas
above the liquid.

Solutions
Colligative Properties of
Electrolytes
Because these properties depend on the number of
particles dissolved, solutions of electrolytes (which
dissociate in solution) show greater changes than those
of nonelectrolytes.
e.g. NaCl dissociates to form 2 ion particles; its limiting
van’t Hoff factor is 2.
Solutions
Colligative Properties of
Electrolytes
However, a 1 M solution of NaCl does not show
twice the change in freezing point that a 1 M
solution of methanol does.
It doesn’t act like there are really 2 particles.
Solutions
van’t Hoff Factor
One mole of NaCl in
water does not really
give rise to two
moles of ions.
Solutions
van’t Hoff Factor
Some Na+
and Cl−
reassociate as
hydrated ion pairs,
so the true
concentration of
particles is
somewhat less than
two times the
concentration of
NaCl.
Solutions
The van’t Hoff Factor
• Reassociation is
more likely at higher
concentration.
• Therefore, the
number of particles
present is
concentration
dependent.
Solutions
The van’t Hoff Factor
We modify the
previous equations
by multiplying by the
van’t Hoff factor, i
∆Tf = Kf  m  i
i = 1 for non-elecrtolytes
Solutions
Osmosis
• Semipermeable membranes allow
some particles to pass through while
blocking others.
• In biological systems, most
semipermeable membranes (such as
cell walls) allow water to pass through,
but block solutes.
Solutions
Osmosis
In osmosis, there is
net movement of
solvent from the area
of higher solvent
concentration (lower
solute concentration)
to the are of lower
solvent
concentration (higher
solute concentration).
Water tries to equalize the concentration on
both sides until pressure is too high.
Solutions
Osmotic Pressure
• The pressure required to stop osmosis,
known as osmotic pressure, π, is
n
V
π = ( )RT = MRT
where M is the molarity of the solution
If the osmotic pressure is the same on both sides
of a membrane (i.e., the concentrations are the
same), the solutions are isotonic.
Solutions
Osmosis in Blood Cells
• If the solute
concentration outside
the cell is greater than
that inside the cell, the
solution is hypertonic.
• Water will flow out of
the cell, and crenation
results.
Solutions
Osmosis in Cells
• If the solute
concentration outside
the cell is less than
that inside the cell, the
solution is hypotonic.
• Water will flow into the
cell, and hemolysis
results.

Tyndall Effect
• Colloidal suspensions
can scatter rays of light.
• This phenomenon is
known as the Tyndall
effect.
