Solution
Homogenous mixture of two or more substances
Solvent
Major component in solution
Solute
Minor component in solution
Aqueous Solution

Solution Interactions
Interactions and Formation
Polar Solvent Examples
Non polar solvent examples
Hess’s Law
Overall enthalpy change upon solution formation is sum of enthalpy ∆Hsoln = ∆Hsolute + ∆Solvent + ∆Hmix (endothermic) - If ∆Hmix is more than the remaining, heat of solution is negative (exothermic)
Heat of Hydration
Dynamic Equilibrium
Saturated solution
Unsaturated solution
Solution containing less than equilibrium amount of solute
Supersaturated solution
One containing more than equilibrium amount of solute; often unstable and excess solute precipitates out
Effect of temperature on solids in H2O?
Factors affecting solubility of gases in H2O?
Henry’s Law
Sgas = kHpgas
Dilute solution
Contains small quantities of solute relative to amount of solvent
Concentrated solution
Contains large quantities of solute relative to amount of solvent
Molarity
(M) amount of solute (mol) / volume solution (L)
Molality
(m) amount solute (mol) / mass solvent (kg) - Temperature independent
