Releases the water of hydration upon heating

Solubility
Solubility- amount of solute required to reach saturation with a given amount of solvent
Unsaturated solution-solution below the solubility limit of a solution
Saturated solution- solution at the solubility limit of a solution (solute and solvent in equilibrium with solution)
Supersaturated solution- solution above the solubility limit of the solution (meta-stable state)
Factors Affecting Solubility
Solute-solvent interaction
Pressure
Temperature
Solute-Solvent Interaction
Hydrophilic groups of atoms attract water
Hydrophobic groups of atoms repel water
Alcohol solubility
Relative solubility
1-4 carbon alcohols infinitely solubility in water
5-6 carbon alcohols are moderately soluble in water
7 carbon alcohols and  up are insoluble in water
In general, the greater the molecular forces between solute and solvent molecules the greater the solubility
For molecular substances, Hydrogen Bonding interactions are most influential
Gaseous aqueous solutions and Pressure
Increasing the pressure of a gas over its solution increases the concentration of solution
Diver’s Bends-collection of Nitrogen gas at joints due to release of gas as diver ascends too fast
Pressure Effect on Solubility of Gases
T-127 Solubility Curves of Gases in Water
Henry’s Law
Henry’s Law-The concentration of a gas in a solvent is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the solution
Cg = kPg   where k = Henry’s Constant for solvent     Cg is concentration of gas and Pg is the Pressure of gas above the solution
Problem
Effect of Temperature on Solubility of a Gas
Follows Equilibrium Laws since solubility is under saturated conditions where a dynamic equilibrium exists
For endothermic Heats of solution:
Increasing Temperature increases solubility
For exothermic Heats of solution:
Increasing the Temperature decreases the solubility
Colligative Properties
Colligative Property-property that depends upon the number of particles in solution.
Kinds of colligative properties:
Vapor Pressure Lowering
Boiling Point Elevation
Freezing Point Depression
Osmotic Pressure Elevation
Electrolytes
Electrolyte-substance whose solution conducts an electrical current
Requires the releasing of ions
Greater the ion production in the solution the greater the conduction of current through the solution.
HCl  +  H2O --à  H3O +   +   Cl – complete ionization= strong electrolyte
HC2H3O2   +   H2O = H3O +    +   C2H3O2 -  Partial Ionization = weak electrolyte
NaCl   +   H2O -à Na +(aq)  +  Cl –(aq)  Complete Dissociation = strong electrolyte
Non-Electrolytes
Non-Electrolyte- substance whose solution does not conduct an electrical current.
No ions produced during solution formation
All particles in solution are molecular (no ions)
The “i-factor”
i = number of mols of particles after solution formation / number of mols of particles before solution formation takes place
C6H12O6(s)   +   H2O --à C6H12O6(aq)
i = 1 / 1 = 1
Ca3(PO4)2   +   H2O ---à3Ca +2 (aq)  +  2PO4 –3 (aq)
i = 5 / 1 = 5
For the same concentration of C6H12O6 and Ca3(PO4)2 the effect upon the colligative property will be 5 times greater in the Ca3(PO4)2 solution
Ion Pairing and Ideal Solutions
In more concentrated solutions two or more ions act as a single particle thus the number of particles in solution is less than I factor would predict
The more concentrated solutions would have colligative properties deviate from Ideal Solution Behavior
In Ideal Solution assume that interionic particle attraction would approach zero. This would be more true if the concentration were decreased

Vapor Pressure Lowering
Vapor Pressure of a solvent decreases as the concentration of solute increases(macroscopic View)
Molecular View Explaination
As more solute particles are added (increased concentration), they have a better chance of replacing surface solvent particles thus decreasing the chance for solvent particles to escape into vapor state.  An assumption is that the solute particles are relatively non-volatile and would not vaporize.
Raoult’s Law
The vapor pressure of the solvent in a solution will decrease with decreasing solvent concentration (or increasing solute concentration)
P1 = iX1P10  where P1 is Vapor press of solvent in solution ; X1 is mole fraction of solvent and P10 is the vapor press of pure solvent; i is the I factor of the solution
Problem
Boiling Point Elevation
Boiling Points are always elevated with increase in solute concentration
Molecular view
As the solute concentration is increased vapor pressure is decreased (Raoult’s Law).  The temperature of boiling would have to be greater to compensate for this lower vapor pressure
T-129 Vap Press vs Temperature of Pure Solvent and Solution
Boiling Point Elevation Equation
Tb – Tb0 = i kb m
where Tb is BP of solvent in solution; Tb0 is B.P. of pure solvent; kb is boiling point elevation constant for solvent; m is the molal concentration; i is the i-factor for solution.
Problem
T-129  Vap Press vs Temp for Pure Solvent and Solution
Freezing Point Depression
Freezing Point decreases with increasing solute concentration.
Molecular View
As solute particles increase they are more likely to take the place of the solvent particles in the crystal lattice thus weakening the crystal structure and making the crystal structure more likely to collapse at a lower temperature (lower kinetic energy)
Freezing Point Depression Equation
Tf 0 – Tf = i kf m      where Tf 0 is the Freezing Point of pure solvent; Tf is the Freezing Point of the solvent in the solution; kf is the Freezing Point Depression Constant of the solvent; m is the molal concentration; i is the i-factor of the solution.
Problem
T-129
Osmotic Pressure Elevation
Osmotic Pressure-Pressure difference between a solution and a pure solvent
Osmotic Pressure increases with increasing solute concentration (macro view)
Molecular View
As the number of solute particles increase there are fewer solvent molecules that can pass from one side of a semi-permeable membrane to the less concentrated side but more water molecules will be able to pass to the more concentrated side

T-12.22  An experiment in Osmosis
Osmotic Pressure Equation
Pi = i M R T    where Pi is the Osmotic pressure; M is the Molarity concentration; R is the universal Gas Law Constant; T is the Kelvin Temperature; i is the i-factor for the solution
Problem
Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic Solutions
Isotonic solution-solutions of the same concentrationas solution on the other side of membrane
Hypotonic solutions-solutions of smaller concentration compared to concentration of solution on the other side of membrane
Hypertonic solution-solution of a higher concentration than solution on the other side of membrane
Cell size and Osmosis
When cells are :
Isotonic  the cells have just as much water entering as is leaving hence no change
Hypotonic the cells have more water leaving the cell than can enter hence cells shrink in size because of water loss(crenation)
Hypertonic the cells have more water entering the cell than exits and the cells swell(hemolysis)
In general,osmosis always occurs from the less concentrated side to the more concentrated side(increased entropy)
