    Solutions

A homogeneous mixture of two or more components, composition of which can be varied at will, is known as solution.
Type of solution:
A.        Gas in gas                   B.        Gas in liquid
C.        Liquid in liquid          D.        Solid in liquid
·       A solution is consisted of only two components is known as a binary solution. In a binary solution, the component which is present in relatively larger amount is known as solvent while the other component present in relatively smaller amount is called solute.
·       A solution made up of three components is called a ternary solution.
·       A solution is said to be unsaturated if it can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.
Phase:
Every sample of matter with uniform properties and a fixed composition is called a phase.
Composition Expressions
The amounts of solute and solvent can be expressed in percentage composition by four different ways:
Percentage weight / weight:
% by weight =
Percentage weight / volume:
It is the weight of a solute dissolved per 100 parts by volume of solution. 10 g of glucose dissolved in 100 cm3 of solution is 10% w/v solution of glucose.
Percentage volume / weight:
It is the number of cm3 of a solution dissolved per 100 g of solution. If we dissolve 10 cm3 of alcohol in water and the total weight of the solution is 100 g, then it is 10% v/w solution of alcohol in water.
Percentage volume / volume:
It is the volume of a solute dissolved per 100 cm3 of the solution.
Molarity (M):
Molarity is the number of mole of solute dissolved per dm3 of the solution. To prepare one molar solution of glucose in water, we take 180 g of glucose and add sufficient water to make the total volume 1 dm3 (a litre) in a measuring flask
Molarity (M) =
M =
A solution in which concentration is equal to 10-7 M is called neutral solution.
Molality (m):
Molality is the number of moles of solute in 1000 g (1 kg) of the solvent. 180 g of glucose when dissolved in 1000 g of water gives one molal solution of glucose. The total mass of the solution is 1180 g. For one molal sucrose solution, 342 g of sourose are dissolved in 1000 g of H2O
Molality (M) =
The molality of a solution is indirect expression of the ratio of the moles of the solute to the moles of the solvent.
The value of concentration given in the units of molality does not change with temperature but that of molarity does.
Mole Fraction (x):
The mole fraction of any component in a mixture is the ratio of the number of moles of it to the total number of moles of all the components present. The sum of the mole fractions of all the components of a solution must be equal to one.
Normality (N):
Normality is the number of gram-equivalent of solute in a dm3 of solution. The symbol of normality is N.

  • If the forces of interactions between the molecules of different components of the solute are same as when they were in the pure state, they are ideal solutions otherwise non-ideal.
  • If the volume of solution is not equal to the sum of the individual volumes of the components, the solution is non-ideal.
  • Ideal solutions have zero enthalpy change as their heat of solution.
  • If the solutions obey Raoult’s law, then they are ideal. This is one of the best criterions for checking the ideality of a solution.
Substance
             Heat of solution (kJ mol-1 of solute)

Liquids Practically Immiscible:
Those liquids which do not dissolve into each other in any proportion are immiscibe. For example. Water and benzene, carbon disulphide and water.
Completely miscible liquids:
Water and ethyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol and ether, benzene and toluene
Partially miscible liquids:
Conjugate Solutions:
On shaking equal volumes of water and ether, two layers are formed. Each liquid layer is a saturated solution of the other liquid. Such solutions are called conjugate solutions. Solubility of these conjugate solutions is affected by temperature changes. Typical examples of such systems are:
Phenol-water system
Triethylamine-water system
Nicotine-water system
Raoult’s Law:
                                                p = po x X1
∆p / po = X2
The total vapour pressure of a mixture of two or more volatile liquids is equal to the sum of their partial vapour pressures in that mixture.
where             
and PA and PB are the vapour pressures of liquids A and B in the pure states.
Ideal and non ideal Solutions:
Some typical ideal solutions forming liquid pairs are: benzene toluene, benzene-ether, chlorobenzene and bromobenzene, ethyl iodide-ethyl bromide, etc.

Zeotropic Mixtures:
A zoetrope is a liquid mixture that obeys Raoult’s law. Such liquid mixture distill with a change in composition.Methyl alcohol-water solutions.
Solubility and solubility curves:
The concentration of solute in solution when it is in equilibrium with solid substance at a particular temperature. OR
            g of solute / 100 g of solvent
If excess of solid is present in solution then
                        Dissolution = crystallization
Effect of temperature on solubility
Continuous solubility curves
Discontinuous solubility curves
Fractional crystallization
Separation of solid substance from their solutions one by one depending upon their solubilities at different temperatures is called fractional crystallization.
Colligative properties of Solutions
Colligative properties are those properties, which depend only upon the number of solute particles and are independent of the nature of the solute.
Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure:
On adding a non-volatile solute particle, the vapour pressure of the solution decreases because a part of the total surface of solvent is covered by non-volatile solute particles.
                                    ∆p / po = X2
                                    M2 = po W2  M1/ ∆p W1
Elevation of Boiling Point:
Boiling point of a liquid is defined as that temperature at which its vapour pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure, that is, 760mm of Hg.
                                    ∆Tb ∞ m
                                    M2 = KbW2 1000/ ∆Tb W1
If a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent, there is a decrease in vapour pressure of the solution and thus boiling point of the solution (T) is higher than that of pure solvent (T0). This increase in boiling point is called elevation of boiling point.
Depression in Freezing Point:
Freezing point of a liquid is defined as the temperature, at which it is in equilibrium with its solid state,                                     ∆Tb ∞ m
                                                M2 = KfW2 1000/ ∆Tf W1
At freezing point, liquid and solid states will have same vapour pressure. If a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent, there is decrease in vapour pressure of the solution and thus the freezing point of the solution is less than that of pure solvent. This decrease in freezing point is called depression of freezing point.
Enthalpy or Heat of Solution:
The enthalpy or heat of solution of substance is defined as the heat change when one mole of the substance is dissolved in a specific number of moles of solvent at a given temperature. It is given the symbol Hsolu. The Hsolu gives the difference between the energy possessed by the solution after its formation and the original energy of the components before their mixing i.e.
Hsolu = Hsolution – Hcomponents
Here Hsolu is the energy content of solution after its formation while Hcomponents represents the energy contents of components before their mixing.
Heat of solution of some ionic solids:
NaCl                                                                            4.98
NH4NO3                                                                      26.0
KCl                                                                             17.8
Kl                                                                                21.4
NH4Cl                                                                         16.2
LiCl                                                                             -37.0
AlCl3                                                                             -321.0
Hydration:
The process in which water molecules surround and interact with solute ions or molecules is called hydration.
Hydrates:
The crystalline substances, which contain chemically combined water in definite proportions is called a hydrate. Hydrates are mostly produced when aqueous solution of soluble salt is evaporated. The formation of hydrates is not limited to salts but is common with acids, bases, and elements. For example, copper sulphate is pentahydrated. Four water molecules are attached with Cu2+ and one with SO42-. The reason is that Cu2+ ha a greater charge density.
Water Molecules of Crystallization or Water of Hydration:
Those water molecules, which combine with compounds as they are crystallized from aqueous solutions, are called water molecules of crystallization or water of hydration.
Lattice Energy:
The amount of energy needed to separate a crystalline compound into isolated ions (or atoms) is known as lattice energy. The lattice energy of ionic solids is always higher than molecular solids.
Hydrolysis:

Salts of weak acids with strong base react with water to produce basic solutions whereas salts of weak bases with strong acids react to give acidic solutions. Such reactions are called by hydrolytic reactions and the salts are said to be hydrolyzed.
