Solutions and Solubility: Classification, Types, and Factors Influencing Dissolution, Study notes of Chemistry

An overview of solutions, their classification as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated, and the factors influencing their solubility. Topics covered include definitions, dissolving a solute, dissolving an ionic solid, calculating the heat of solution, and the effect of temperature and gas solubility. Real-life applications include sodium acetate 'heat pack' and scuba diving.

Dissolving An Ionic Solid

Supersaturated Sodium Acetate

ƒ One application of a supersaturated

solution is the sodium acetate “heat pack.”

ƒ Sodium acetate has an ENDOTHERMIC heat

of solution (it requires heat to dissolve the

solid)

ΔHsoln +25 7kJ/mol

ƒ ΔHsoln = +25.7kJ/mol

Effect of Temperature on Solubility of a Solute in a

Solvent:

ƒ Endothermic reactions:

• solubility ↑ with ↑ temperature

ƒ Exothermic reactions:
