Problem Checklist
• Define solution and identify the solute and solvent in a solution.
• Determine whether a substance would be soluble in a polar or nonpolar solvent (“like dissolves like”).
• Describe/draw the solute–solvent interaction between water and a polar solute.
• Describe/draw the solute–solvent interaction between water and an ionic solute.
• Classify reactants as strong, weak, and nonelectrolytes.
• Write the equation for the dissociation of a strong electrolyte.
• Convert between moles and equivalents (Eq) or milliequivalents (mEq) for an electrolyte.
• Determine the Eq of positive ions in a solution given the Eq of negative ions or vice versa.
• Determine whether a solution is saturated or unsaturated given the solubility.
• Describe the effect of temperature on the solubility of solids and gases dissolved in liquids.
• Interpret a solubility graph.
• Describe the effect of pressure on the solubility of gases dissolved in liquids.
• Use a table of solubility rules (reference provided) to predict the solubility of an ionic compound.
• Given two reactants, determine whether a precipitate forms and write the net ionic equation.
• Calculate the concentration of a solution (mass %, volume %, mass/volume %, or molarity).
• Use concentration to calculate amount of solute or amount of solution.
• Distinguish between a stock solution and a dilution and use the dilution equation (C 2V2=C1V1)

, 9.1 Solutions
Solutions
• homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.

• form when there is sufficient attraction between the solute
and solvent molecules.

• Solvent = larger amount

• Solute = smaller amount

• Solution = solvent + solute

Solutes:

• may be a liquid, gas, or solid.

• spread evenly throughout the solution.

• cannot be separated by filtration, but they can be separated by evaporation.

• are not visible, but they can give a color to the solution.

Water as a Solvent
Water:

• one of the most common solvents in nature.

• polar molecule due to polar O–H bonds.

• form hydrogen bonds important in many biological compounds.




Formation of Solutions
Favour forming solutions Resist forming solutions
• Solute-solvent attraction • solvent–solvent attraction
• solute-solute attraction


To dissolve, solute-solvent attraction must overcome solvent-solvent and solute-solute
attractions.
