Water: The best known solvent
Because of hydrogen bond formation, water boils at a much higher temperature than CH 4 (90 K), which has the same molecular mass (to three sig figs).
Polar and Nonpolar Molecules Nonpolar: Electrons Equally Shared Polar: Electrons Unequally Shared
Which of the following molecules is non-polar? 1. HCl 2. CHCl 3 3. CO 4. BrCl 5. NH 3 6. None of the above
Dissolve a salt in water
Polar water molecules interact with the positive and negative ions of a salt, making the dissolving process possible.
The Role of Water as a Solvent: The solubility of Ionic Compounds Electrical conductivity - The flow of electrical current in a solution is a measure of the solubility of ionic compounds or a measurement of the presence of ions in solution. Electrolyte - A substance that conducts a current when dissolved in water. Soluble ionic compound dissociate completely and may conduct a large current, and are called Strong Electrolytes. ( ) ( ) + ( ) NaCl s + H O Na aq + Cl ( aq) 2 When Sodium Chloride dissolves into water the ions become solvated, and are surrounded by water molecules. These ions are called aqueous and are free to move through out the solution, and are conducting electricity, or helping electrons to move through out the solution

Strong Electrolytes Produce ions in aqueous solution and conduct electricity well. Strong electrolytes are soluble salts, strong acids and strong bases. Strong acids produce H + ions when they dissolve in water. HCl, HNO 3 and H 2 SO 4 are strong acids HNO 3 (aq) H + (aq) + NO 3- (aq) NaOH and KOH are strong bases: NaOH(s) Na + (aq) + OH - (aq) (Produce OH- ions) All of the above species are ionized nearly 100% in water.
Weak Electrolytes Produce relatively few ions in aqueous solution The most common weak electrolytes are weak acids and weak bases. Acetic acid is a typical weak acid: HCH COO aq H aq + C H O aq ( ) + ( ) ( ) 3 2 3 2 Ammonia is a common weak base: NH aq + H O NH aq + OH aq ( ) ( ) + ( ) ( ) 3 2 4 Weak bases like NH 3 and weak acids like acetic acid don t conduct electricity well; they partially ionize. These two (acetic acid and ammonia) ionize only ~1%
Nonelectrolytes Dissolve in water but produce no ions in solution. Nonelectrolytes do not conduct electricity because they dissolve as whole molecules, and produce no ions. Common nonelectrolytes include ethanol and table sugar (sucrose, C 12 H 22 O 11 ) Non electrolytes contain polar parts; can hydrgeon bond with water. Nonpolar covalent compounds can t form hydrogen bonds and have little or no interactions with water molecules. Examples are the hydrocarbons in gasoline and oil, which don t mix with water.
Interaction of Water and Ethanol A water soluble non-electrolyte, has polar components (COH) that hydrogen-bonds; fits in with water network.

Determining Moles of Ions in Aqueous Solutions of Ionic Compounds Problem: How many moles of each ion type are in each of the following: a) 4.0 moles of sodium carbonate dissolved in water Other examples later: Both mass and moles are conserved in solutions, even if chemical forms change. H 2 O a) Na 2 CO 3 (s) 2 Na + (aq) + CO 3-2 (aq) moles of Na + = 4.0 moles Na 2 CO 3 x 2 mol Na + 1 mol Na 2 CO 3 = 8.0 moles Na + and 4.0 moles of CO -2 3 are present
Dissolve a salt in water How do you describe it? Problem: Take 28 grams of NaCl and put it in 250 mls of solution. What do you write on the bottle? Possibilities?
Figure 4.9: Steps involved in the preparation of a standard solution.
Molarity (Concentration of Solutions) = M Moles of Solute mol M = = Liters of Solution L The solute is material dissolved into the solvent In sea water, water is the solvent, and NaCl, MgCl 2, etc are the solutes. In brass, copper is the solvent (90%), and zinc is the solute (10%). Compare with density which is the mass of the solute in the solution. mass moles M moles = = = = = Volume Volume Volume W d MW Molarity MW M MW Does it matter whether the salt dissociates or not?
Prepare a solution Problem: A solution of sodium phosphate is prepared by dissolving 3.95 g of sodium phosphate in water and diluting it to 300.0 ml. What is the molarity, M, of the salt? What about (the M-ity of) each of the ion types? Strategy?

What about each of the ions? Density? Strategy: Think about what you would write on the bottle to describe the contents. The concentration is the quantity that will not change when you pour some out. Concentration can be expressed in moles per liter (Molarity) or grams per liter (Density). mass 3.95g d = = = 13.2 g Volume 0.30L l M ( ) W Na 3 PO 4 = 163.94 g mol

Dilution: Convert a Stock solution to a required concentration

Dilute using Volumetric Pipets
Dilution Problem A medical team needs from pharmacy 500mls isotonic saline (0.14M) for a patient. You have 1 liter of 1.50M saline (NaCl) solution. What do you (in pharmacy) do? Need to find the initial volume of the 1.50M NaCl needed to make 500 mls of 0.14M NaCl. Use the fact that the number of moles Is what counts and what is the same (i.e. conserved). moles NaCl need = 0.14M 0.5L = 0.070moles ( ) moles NaCl available = 1.50M V ( ) 0 1.50M V0 = 0.14M 0.5L 0.14M 0.5L V0 = = 0.0467L= 46.7mls 1.50M Take 46.7mls of stock solution and dilute to 500 mls and voila!
General Dilution Problem Need volume V1 @ molarity M1 Have molarity M. What is? o Vo General Answer: Moles are conserved so: M o > M 1 moles = V M = V M o o 1 1 Rearrange the general expression for Vo. Can rearrange the general expression for any of the 4 quantities.
Two step serial Dilution Begin with a 3.5M (stock) solution of NaCl. Take 10 mls of this solution and dilute to 100 mls with water. Then tak 5 mls of the new solution and dilute to 300 mls with water (as a second serial dilution). What is the concentration of the salt after the second dilution?

Precipitation Reaction Pb(NO 3 ) 2 is in beaker (colorless and soluble in water) and NaI is in graduate (also colorless and soluble). The mixture produces a yellow ppt. which is PbI 2. All 4 ions are in solution. What pairings are possible? Hint: 6 is max. Many can be ruled out. 2+ Pb NO 3 Na I +
Table in Text Rules 1 and 2, for our purposes all are soluble (not most). Think Ammonium Nitrate the soluble salt. More info in chapter 8.
Molecular equation, Total ionic equation, and net ionic equation
Predicting if a precipitate forms, and which? Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + NaCl(aq) Pb +2 (aq) + 2 NO 3- (aq) + Na + (aq) + Cl - (aq) If any of the possible new species formed by combining anions with cations is insoluble, then that precipitate will form. Salts of sodium and nitrates do not ppt. USE TABLE 4.1 In this case, PbCl 2 is the only salt possibly insoluble, and a precipitate forms. Note: Like the demo with PbI 2 (s) above.
