What parts make up a solution?Solution is a mixture of two components.

1. Solute: less abundant component, the substance being dissolved

2. Solvent: more abundant component, the dissolver

Solutions in water are called aqueous (aq).

Page 3: Biochemistry- Solutions

ConcentrationAs more and more solute gets dissolved, the solution becomes

more concentrated.

When the solvent can no longer dissolve any more solute, it is saturated. (If less solute is dissolved, unsaturated.)

Solution can dissolve more solute than usual under particular circumstances – supersaturated.

MolarityMolarity is a term we use to describe concentration.

M = mol/dm3, Molarity = moles (n) of solute dissolved in 1 dm3 of solution.

What is the molarity of 2.98g of NaCO3 in 500cm3 of solution?

Page 5: Biochemistry- Solutions

DilutionsSometimes, we need a diluted solution for a particular

procedure.

In order to dilute, you add water to a more concentrated solution.

The equation we use to determine how much concentrated solution we need is:

M1V1=M2V2

Types of MixturesClassified by:

Size of the particlesWhether they exhibit the Tyndall effect

Page 7: Biochemistry- Solutions

Types of Mixtures

Solution:Particles are evenly distributed and do not

separate on standingNo Tyndall EffectExample: food coloring and water mixture

Page 8: Biochemistry- Solutions

Solution Example

Notice how you cannot see a distinction between solute and solvent. It is the same throughout the solution.

Page 9: Biochemistry- Solutions

Types of MixturesSuspensions:

Particles are not evenly distributed. Particles are suspended but will eventually settle into layers

Exhibits Tyndall EffectExamples: Dirt and water mixture

Page 10: Biochemistry- Solutions

SuspensionsThe larger particles in a suspension settle out over time. Particles are only physically combined.

Page 11: Biochemistry- Solutions

Types of MixturesColloids:

Particles are not evenly distributed. Particles are suspended but will eventually settle into layers

Exhibits Tyndall EffectExamples: milk

Page 12: Biochemistry- Solutions

ColloidsLooks like a solution to the naked eye. Particles are suspended. The particle size is the “in betweener”, larger than a solutions’ particles but smaller than a suspensions’ particles.

Page 13: Biochemistry- Solutions

What is this “Tyndall effect”?Light scattering by particles.

Found in colloids and suspensions, but not solutions.

Hydrates

Hydrates are ionic compounds that have water molecules absorbed into the crystal lattice.

Hydrates are still solid, just have certain amounts of water attached to the ions.

An example of a hydrate is Copper (II) Sulfate pentahydrate:CuSO4 ● 5H2O

Page 16: Biochemistry- Solutions

HydratesAn example of a hydrate is:

CuSO4 5H2OThis means that for every 1 unit of copper sulfate, there

are 5 units of water.Or, for every 1 mole of copper sulfate there are 5 moles of

water.

Solve for the molar mass. (The dot does not mean multiply, just add the mass of water to mass of copper sulfate.)

Properties of Solutions: Dissociation

When a solute dissolves, the solute molecule is surrounded by water molecules.

If the solute is ionic, than the ions separate and are surrounded by water molecules.

Example: NaCl Na+ + Cl-

Dissociation Continued Because of this, ionic substances have more of an effect on the boiling point

and freezing point than a covalent bond (something that is not ionic).

C6H12O6 (s) C6H12O6 (aq) (1 particle being dissolved, not ionic) NaCl(s) Na+ (aq) + Cl-

(aq) (2 particles being dissolved, ionic) CaCl2 (s) Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl-

(aq) (3 particles being dissolved, ionic)

CaCl2 will have the largest effect (higher melting/boiling pts) and glucose the least effect (lower melting/boiling pts).

Ability to Conduct ElectricityIf ions are present in solution, it will conduct eletricity……all

ionic substances will conduct electricity when dissolved.Ex: Tap water, salt water

Solutes that conduct electricity when dissolved are called electrolytes.

Page 21: Biochemistry- Solutions

ElectrolytesImportance of electrolytes:

The movement of calcium ions allows muscles to contract and relax

Presence of sodium and potassium ions allow your nerve cells to respond to stimuli.

Page 22: Biochemistry- Solutions

STRONG vs. weak ElectrolytesStrength depends on number of ions in solution

More ions = stronger electrolyte, Fewer ions = weaker electrolyte

For strong electrolytes, increasing concentration increases conductivity

Weak electrolytes, increasing concentration does not effect conductivity

Page 23: Biochemistry- Solutions

Think about it!!!For strong electrolytes, increasing concentration

increases conductivity

Weak electrolytes, increasing concentration does not effect conductivity

WHY????

Page 24: Biochemistry- Solutions

Colligative Properties1. Boiling point of the solvent elevates

2. Freezing point is lowered

Vapor pressure is lowered, fewer molecules of solvent are escaping to the gas phase when a solute is present. The solvent molecules cannot escape because they are “busy” keeping the

solute dissolved.

Salting the Roads!

Rock salt (CaCl2) is used to keep the roads from freezing in the winter. Ever wonder why that

happens????
