Pure Substances• A pure substance has a
definite composition.• Pure substances can be
elements or compounds
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Mixtures
• Combination of 2 or more pure substances.
HeterogeneousNot uniform throughout Homogeneous

SolutionsSolutions, in chemistry, are homogeneous
mixtures of two or more substances.
The substance present in largest quantity usually is called the solvent. The solvent can be either a liquid or a solid.
The substance that is present in smallest quantity is said to be dissolved and is called the solute. The solute can be either a gas, a liquid, or a solid.

Coke lists as its ingredients as: “carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, caffeine”.
What is the solvent?
What are the solutes?

Types of Solutions
Gaseous solutions – air
Liquid solutions – drinks
Solid solutions – steel or other alloys
IPC-Solutions-Borders
• Miscible liquids can easily dissolve in one another.
• Immiscible liquids are not soluble in each other.

Miscible and Immiscible Liquids
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Heterogeneous Mixtures
Suspensions-contain large particles that “settle out” unless constantly stirred or agitated
Colloids-contain intermediate particles between those in solutions and suspensions
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Suspensions
• Heterogeneous Mixture in which the particles in the solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred.

How does a solid dissolve into a liquid?
IPC-Solutions-Borders
How Does a Solution Form?• Solvent molecules are attracted to surface ions.• Each ion is surrounded by solvent molecules.

Dissolution vs reaction
• Dissolution is a physical change—you can get back the original solute by evaporating the solvent.
• If you can’t, the substance didn’t dissolve, it reacted.
Ni(s) + HCl(aq) NiCl2(aq) + H2(g) NiCl2(s)dry

Factors Affecting Solubility
• Chemists use the saying “like dissolves like”:Polar substances tend to
dissolve in polar solvents.Nonpolar substances tend
to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Oil is nonpolar while water is polar. They are immiscible.
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Rate of Dissolution
There are several factors that affect the rate or “how quickly” dissolving occurs.
• Heating
• Agitating
• Increasing Surface Area

Saturation
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Saturation Typessaturated• solution containing undissolved solute in
equilibrium with the solutionunsaturated• solution containing less than the
maximum amount of solutesupersaturated• solution containing more solute than is
normally allowed
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Degree of saturation
• Unsaturated SolutionLess than the
maximum amount of solute for that temperature is dissolved in the solvent.
No solid remains in flask.
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Degree of saturation• Saturated solution
Solvent holds as much solute as is possible at that temperature.
Undissolved solid remains in flask.
Dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with solid solute particles.
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Saturated Solution
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Degree of saturation
• Supersaturated SolutionSolvent holds more solute than is normally
possible at that temperature.These solutions are unstable; crystallization can
often be caused by adding a “seed crystal” or scratching the side of the flask.
IPC-Solutions-Borders
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.
An unsaturated solution contains less solute than the solvent has the capacity to dissolve at a specific temperature.A supersaturated solution contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.
Sodium acetate crystals rapidly form when a seed crystal isadded to a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate.

Solubility

Solubility of Gases
• In general, the solubility of gases in water increases with increasing mass.
Why?• Larger molecules
have stronger dispersion forces.
IPC-Solutions-Borders
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.

Temperature
Generally, the solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvents increases with increasing temperature.
IPC-Solutions-Borders
Temperature• The opposite is true of
gases. Higher temperature drives gases out of solution.
Carbonated soft drinks are more “bubbly” if stored in the refrigerator.
Warm lakes have less O2 dissolved in them than cool lakes.

solubility increases with increasing temperature

Electrolytes

Electrolyte
Electrolyte: a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current
•Any soluble ionic compound is an electrolyte
•Strong acids are electrolytes
