b. Entropy and enthalpy changes in the solution process : ΔG = ΔH – TΔS where : ΔG - Gibbs free energy ΔH - enthalpy (heat content) Diagram of hydration process :

ΔS - entropy A reaction is only spontaneous if ΔG is negative.

c. Three steps to solution formation : - Step 1 : break up of the solute into individual components (ions, atoms or molecules)

- endothermic - requires energy to overcome attractive forces of particles (ΔH1>0) - Step 2 : separation of the solvent N.B. : ΔH1 is opposite of - endothermic - intermolecular forces must be overcome(ΔH2>0) lattice energy - Step 3 : solute and solvent interact to form solution - often exothermic - bonding of solute and solvent results in a more stable, lower energy

arrangement(ΔH3<0)

d. enthalpy (or heat) of solution = ΔHsoln = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3 - if ΔHsoln is negative (exothermic), energy will be released (magnitude of ΔH3 is greater than ΔH1 + ΔH2). - if ΔHsoln is positive (endothermic), energy is absorbed (ΔH3 is not exothermic or magnitude of ΔH3 is less than ΔH1 + ΔH2). e. Entropy - a measure of the disorder of a system - along with enthalpy changes determines if a solution will form or not - factors favoring solution formation :

- decrease in enthalpy (negative value, exothermic : ΔH3 > (ΔH1 + ΔH2)) - increase in entropy (positive value, increase in disorder) - factors inhibiting solution formation :

- increase in enthalpy (positive value, endothermic : ΔH3 < (ΔH1 + ΔH2)) - decrease in entropy (negative value, decrease in disorder)

3. Factors Affecting Solubility a. Molecular structure - determines polarity e.g. - fat soluble vitamins(A,D,E and K) are nonpolar and so dissolve in nonpolar oils and fats - water soluble (B's and C) vitamins are polar and dissolve in water - An important implication of this is that we can store fat soluble vitamins in our fatty tissues. We ca also overdose on fat soluble vitamins since they can be stored. It would be very difficult to overdose on water soluble vitamins since they are easily excreted in urine, which also prevents their being stored.

Day 2 : b. Pressure effects - pressure effects the solubility of gases : - increased pressure increases the solubility of gases - really an equilibrium effect. An increase in pressure above a solvent will concentrates the gas particles above the solvent. To reach equal concentrations in and out of the solvent more gas particles will move into the solvent to form a more concentrated solution. - decreased pressure decreases the solubility of gases - opposite of above - Henry's Law : States that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solution. (Assuming no chemical interaction between the gas and the solvent). (P = kC, where : P = pressure, k = solubility constant, C = concentration of the dissolved gas). - pressure has little effect on the solubility of solids and liquids ** To remember the above think of a bottle of soda. If you open it (decreases pressure) the gases will leave (become less soluble), but the sugars (solids) will not leave(solubility unaffected).

_____ (T/F) An increase in pressure increases the solubility of a gas.

______law states that the amount of a gas dissolved in a solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.

Sample problem :

Calculate the concentration of CO2 in a soft drink that is bottled with a partial pressure of CO2 of 5.0 atm over the liquid at 25 ºC. The Henry's law constant for CO2 in water at this temperature is 32 L·atm/mol.

6 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08

c. Temperature Effects (for aqueous solutions) - the solubility of gases decreases with increases temperature and vice versa (thermal pollution of bodies of water decreases oxygen content and can lead to a die off of aquatic animals). - the solubility of solids generally increases with increase in temperature (sodium sulfate and cerium sulfate become less soluble as temperature rises). 4. Colligative properties - depend on the number of solute particles -not type of particles. - vapor pressure reduction - boiling point elevation - freezing point elevation - osmotic pressure

_____ (T/F) The solute must be nonvolatile for vapor pressure lowering to occur.

_____ (T/F) Dissolved oxygen will lower the vapor pressure of pure water.

_____ (T/F) One mole of glucose (C6H12O6) will lower the vapor pressure of a solution more than one mole of aluminum chloride(AlCl3).

Vapor pressure lowering: - solute particles block escape of solvent particles -solute particles bond to solvent particles weighing them down

a. The Vapor Pressure of Solutions : - The presence of a nonvolatile solute lowers the vapor pressure of a solvent. It does so by diluting the solvent, reducing the numbers of solvent particles at the surface and thereby reducing the numbers of solvent particles escaping and creating vapor pressure. The vapor pressure of a solution is then directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent present as stated in

Raoult's Law : Psoln = XsolventPºsolvent, and illustrated below.

7 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08

Evidence for Raoult's law :

:-because aqueous solution has a lower vapor pressure,

equilibrium with pure solvent will never be reached

What will happen to the vapor pressure of a 5% solution of sodium chloride in an open beaker over time?

Raoult's law can be used to count molecules, or determine the number of moles present in a solution, and thereby determine the molar mass of a substance. A mass of the solute is first dissolved in a given amount of solvent(number of moles known). The vapor pressure can then be measured and the mole fractions determined. The moles of solute is then calculated and molar mass determined by dividing the mass of solute by moles of solute.

Sample Problem : Glycerin, C3H8O3 is a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte solute with a density of 1.26 g/mL at 25 ºC. Calculate the vapor pressure at 25 ºC of a solution made by adding 50.0 mL of glycerin to 500.0 mL of water. The vapor pressure of pure water at 25ºC is 23.8 torr.

Need mole fraction of solvent (water):

Moles glyc. = (50.0 mL)(1.26g/mL)(1 mol/92.1g)= .684 mol moles water=500.0 mL(1.00g/mL)(1 mol/18.02 g)=27.8 mol

XH2O = 7.8 mol/ (.684 mol + 27.8 mol) = 0.976

Raoult's law can also be used to determine the number of particles a solute dissociates into. If one mole of a substance is put into solution and the vapor pressure is lowered by an amount that

indicates three moles of solute then the solute dissociates into three particles.(e.g. MgCl2(s) + 2+ H2O(l)  Mg (aq) + 2 Cl-(aq))

Sample 2- Ionic solute : Predict the vapor pressure of a solution made by mixing 35.0 grams of solid sodium sulfate (molar mass =142 g/mol) with 175 g of water at 25 ºC. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 23.8 torr.

Calculating mole fraction of solvent (water): mol water = 175 g/18.02 g/mol = 9.72 mol mol sodium sulfate = 35.0g/142g = .246 mol*

*- ionic compounds dissociate into ions in solution(if soluble) mole solute =.246 mol (3 mol ions/mol)= .738 mol ions

8 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08

XH2O= 9.72 mol/(9.72 mol + .738 mol)= .929 No calculator problem :

What is the vapor pressure of an aqueous solution at 25 ºC formed by dissolving 90 grams of glucose (C6H12O6 ; fw = 180.18 g/mol) in 180 grams of water? (Pº H2O = 23.8 torr at 25 ºC) a. 15.5 torr b. 17.3 torr c. 19.8 torr d. 21.0 torr e. 22.7 torr

For solutions of two liquids : The solute contributes to the vapor pressure (i.e. solute is volatile) .

- modified Raoult's law : Psoln = PA + PB = XAPºA + XBPºB

Ideal solutions - solute-solvent, solute-solute, and solvent-solvent interactions are nearly identical.

Nonideal solutions - solute-solvent, solute-solute, and solvent-solvent interactions are not identical.

A solution is prepared by adding one mole of methanol (CH3OH) and 2 moles of propanol (C3H7OH). What is the composition of the vapor(in mole fractions) above the solution at 40 ºC? (vapor pressures of pure methanol and pure propanol at 40 ºC are 303 and 44.6 torr, respectively.

b. What is the composition by mole fraction of pentane in the vapor that is in equilibrium with this solution?

9 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08 Benzene and toluene form an ideal solution. Consider a solution of benzene and toluene formed at 25 ºC. Asuming equal mole fractions of toluene and benzene in the vapor state, calculate the composition of the solution. At 25 ºC the vapor pressures of toluene and benzene are 95 and 28 torr respectively.

- a liquid-liquid solution that obeys Raoult's law is considered an ideal solution - in an ideal solution the solvent-solvent, solute-solute and solvent-solute interactions have to be very similar - in a solution where the solute-solvent bonds are greater than solute-solute or solvent- solvent bonds :

- energy will be released (ΔHsoln is negative, exothermic formation of solution) - there will be a negative deviation from Raoult's law (lower vapor pressure than expected) - in a solution where the solute-solvent bonds are weaker than the solute-solute or solvent- solvent bonds :

- energy will be absorbed (ΔHsoln is positive, endothermic formation of solution) - there will be a positive deviation from Raoult's law (higher vapor pressure than expected)

Which picture shows and ideal liquid-liquid solution? -a positive deviation from Raoult's law? - a negative deviation from Raoult's law? In which solution are the solute-solvent bonds greater than the solvent-solvent bonds?

b. Boiling-point elevation - a nonvolatile solute raises the boiling point of a solvent proportionally to the amount of solute present 10 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08

- ΔTb = Kbmsolute where : Kb = molal boiling point constant - specific for each liquid msolute - molality of solute c. Freezing-point depression - a nonvolatile solute lowers the freezing point of a liquid - ΔTf = Kfmsolute where : Kf = molal boiling point constant - specific for each liquid msolute - molality of solute

Sample problem 1 : 17.84 g of glucose (molecular solid) are dissolved in 150.0 g of water. The boiling point is found to be 100.34 ºC. Calculate the molar mass of the glucose. (Kb= .512 ºC/m)

Sample 2 : 7.480 g of an organic compound is dissolved in 292 g of water. The compound has an empirical formula of C3H4O2N. If the solution freezes at -0.185 ºC, what is the molecular formula of the compound?

6. Osmotic Pressure a. Osmosis - the flow of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane (net movement of solvent is always toward the side with the greater concentration of solute) b. Osmotic pressure - the pressure created by the movement of the solvent through the membrane - equal to the minimum external force needed to stop the flow of the solvent - can be used to indicated the number of particles a solute dissociates into - can be used to determine the molar mass of a substance - very useful for this since a small amount of solute creates a large pressure - π = MRT where : π is osmotic pressure M is molarity R is the gas law constant(.08206 L · atm/K · mol) T is the Kelvin temperature

Why does osmosis occur?

11 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08 Sample problem : Calculate the molar mass of a protein in a solution in which 0.00100 g of the protein was dissolved in enough water to form 1.00 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure was found to be 1.12 torr at 25.0 ºC.

c. Dialysis - phenomenon in which small solute particles as well as solvent particles pass through a semipermeable membrane d. isotonic solutions - solutions with equal osmotic pressures e. hypertonic solution - a solution with a higher solute content and therefore a lower osmotic pressure than a reference solution (often cytoplasm) - hypertonic solutions can cause crenation (shriveling due to water loss) in red blood cells f. hypotonic solutions - a solution with a lower solute content and therefore a higher osmotic pressure than a reference solution (often cytoplasm) - hypotonic solutions can cause hemolysis (bursting due to too much water present) in red blood cells g. Reverse osmosis - the forcing of water through a semipermeable membrane against the flow of osmosis by the application of an external pressure greater than the osmotic pressure - used in the desalination of seawater to obtain freshwater 7. Colligative Properties of Electrolyte Solutions a. van't Hoff factor - factor equating moles of solute with moles of ions present

- e.g. The van't Hoff factor for magnesium nitrate ( Mg(NO3)2)would be three since three moles of ions would be formed in solution from one mole of magnesium nitrate. - the equation for changes in the boiling or freezing-point of a solution containing an electrolyte becomes :

ΔT = imK

Where : i is the van't Hoff factor m = molality of solute K = freezing-point or boiling-point constant

- the equation for osmotic pressure becomes :

π = iMRT

b. Ion Pairing - in any electrolyte solution there is some ion pairing - the joining of oppositely charged ions due to electrostatic attraction. This will reduce the expected number of effective solute particles causing colligative effects. The greater the charge on an ion the greater its tendency to pair in solution.

12 AP Chemistry - Notes : Chapter 11 Mr. Ferwerda - Tecumseh High School 5/20/08 Calculating deviations in the van't Hoff factor (i).

The observed osmotic pressure for a 0.10 M solution of Fe(NH4) 42(SO4)2 at 25 ºC is 10.8 atm. calculate the expected and experimental values of i.

8. Colloids a. characteristics of colloids - permanent mixtures (will not settle out over time) - have a particle size intermediate to solutions and suspensions - exhibit the Tyndall effect - permanence in mixture is due to the electrostatic repulsion of the colloidal particles (they all have the same charge) - structure of colloidal particles - surrounded by layers of like charged particles :

b. Coagulation - the destruction of a colloid by destroying electrostatic repulsion by : - heating - speeds up particles and collisions remove outer layers of ions - addition of an electrolyte- removes layers of ions c. Examples of colloids : Example Dispersing Medium Dispersed Substance Colloid Type Fog, aerosol sprays Gas Liquid Aerosol Smoke Gas Solid Aerosol Whipped cream, soap Liquid Gas Foam suds Milk, mayonnaise Liquid Liquid Emulsion Paint Liquid Solid Sol Butter, cheese Solid Liquid Solid emulsion

Dispersal systems solutions - permanent suspensions - sm. particles - temporary -cannot be filtered - lge particles -homogeneous - can be filtered colloids - heterogeneous - permanent - Tyndall effect - med particles - borderline filter - borderline homogeneous -Tyndall effect
