This chapter explores the chemistry of solutions, beginning with the different types of solutions (solid, liquid, gaseous) and the role of the solute and solvent. It explains the concept of solubility, what makes a solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated, and how “like dissolves like” helps predict solubility based on polarity. The notes guide you through the solution process at the molecular level, including the energetic steps of solute-solute, solvent-solvent, and solute-solvent interactions—and whether the overall process is endothermic or exothermic. Special attention is given to intermolecular forces such as ion-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and dispersion forces, and how these impact dissolving behavior. The chapter also covers essential concentration units—molarity (M), molality (m), mole fraction (χ), and percent by mass—with clear comparisons and guidance on when to use each. Finally, it examines how temperature and pressure affect solubility, including Henry’s Law for gases. These notes combine visual structure, worked examples, and conceptual practice to help you master both qualitative and quantitative aspects of solution chemistry.

Chapter 13 – Physical Properties of Solutions
Section 13.1 – Types of Solutions
What is a solution?

A solution consists of a _________
________.
solutes
What is meant by an aqueous solution? is a solution where the
Solutions can be classified by the amount of solute solvent is

The amount of solute dissolved in a given
Define solubility: volume of a saturated solution.

Explain the difference between a saturated, unsaturated,
and supersaturated solution:
saturated : contains the max amt . . of solute that will dissolve in a solvent at a specific temp.
·
unsaturated : contains less solute than it has the

capacity to dissolve
·


supersaturated : contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution (above capacity
Give an example of a gaseous solution:
air-has N2 O2 and CO2 evenly distributed (homogenous

Give an example of a solid solution:
brass-mixture of copper + zinc
Give an example of a liquid solution:
Saltwater
Section 13.2 – A Molecular View of the Solution
Process
Define solvation: process by which solute molecules are surrounded
by solvent molecules
The ease with which solute molecules are separated from

What are the 4 types of intermolecular forces (either
solute-solute or solvent-solvent) that occur in pure
substances? Dispersion forces present in all substances ,

For each of these intermolecular forces, write the definition
and provide an example:
