-Change(s) Observed

-Type of Change(Physical/Chemical)

-Explanation

Calcium Carbonate:

-Physical change because even though a particle size change was observed, the calcium carbonate retained its original properties and was not transformed into a new substance

Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid

-Chemical change because gas formation was observed, which indicated that the calcium carbonate was transformed into a different substance

Water

-Physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the water was undergoing a state change, which means that its original properties are preserved

Copper(II) Sulfate Pentahydrate

-Chemical change because gas was released along with a color change, which indicated that the copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate was transformed into a different substance

Iron Filings and Sulfur

-Physical change because even though a color change occurred, each solid maintained its original properties, which could be seen as soon as the magnet was applied

Potassium Iodide and Lead Nitrate

-Chemical change because both a color change and a solid formation were observed, which provide strong evidence of a new substance

Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid

-Chemical change because a temperature change occurred, a solid disappeared, and a gas was produced

Differentiating Colloids from Suspensions and Solutions

How can you tell colloids, suspensions, and solutions apart?

-Brownian motion: Constant, random motion of particles

(Ex. Dust particles in a sunbeam moving randomly)

(Observed in colloids and solutions)

(Not observed in most colloids or solutions)

-Exhibited by colloids and some suspensions

VOC: Volatile Organic Compounds.

Ex. Pollen suspended in the air.

Ex.

Imagine two clear glasses of liquid. The first glass contains a solution, whereas the second glass contains a colloid. If you had a flashlight or a laser and shined it through both glasses, you would be able to see the beam only in the glass with the colloid.

Techniques to Separate Solutions

Common techniques to separate a solution:

-Distillation: A method of separating solutions that involves boiling a mixture of liquids and collecting the vapor of each liquid as it forms

(Based on varying boiling points between the solute and solvent)

Solutions and Solubility

-Rate of dissolution: The rate or speed at which a solid dissolves in a liquid

-Saturated solution: A solution in which the concentration of solute is equal to the maximum concentration predicted from the solute’s solubility

-Solubility: A property relating to the amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given volume of solvent at a given temperature and pressure

-Supersaturated solution: A solution in which the concentration of solute is greater than the maximum possible concentration predicted from the solute’s solubility

-Unsaturated solution: A solution in which the concentration of solute is less than the maximum concentration predicted from the solute’s solubility

The Dissolving Process

1. Solvent molecules are attracted to solute molecules or ions at the surface of the particles.

(For a solute to dissolve, the molecules or ions that make up the solute must separate from each other. This happens when attractions between the solute molecules or ions and solvent molecules are strong enough to pull the solute particles into solution.)

2. Solvent molecules surround the solute molecule

3. Solvent molecules carry the solute molecule into the solution

4. The solute molecule dissolves in a “like” solvent

(Non-polar substances don’t dissolve in polar solvents like water)

Factors that Affect the Rate of Dissolution

The rate of dissolution describes the rate or speed at which a solid dissolves in a liquid.

It’s affected by:

-Stirring(Increases the number of collisions

-Surface area

-Temperature

Solubility

Solubility is the amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given volume of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

-It depends on the solvent

-Solubility is different from dissolution rate. Solubility is the measure of the amount of solute that dissolves. Dissolution rate is a measure of how fast that solute dissolves.

Solute                                         Solubility(g solute/100 g water

-Table sugar, C(12)H(22)O(11)   200

-Table salt, NaCI                         36

-Aspirin, C(9)H(8(O(4)                0.33

-Carbon dioxide, CO(2)              0.17

Unsaturated, Saturated, and Supersaturated Solutions

Types of solutions:

-Unsaturated solution: The concentration of solute is less than the maximum concentration predicted from the solute’s solubility

(Ex. Stirring a spoonful of sugar into water. You can still add more sugar to the water and the sugar will still dissolve)

-Saturated solution: The concentration of solute is equal to the maximum concentration predicted from the solute’s solubility; the solute crystallizes at the same rate that it dissolves

(Depends on the solubility of the solute)

(Ex. If you keep adding sugar into the water eventually it won’t dissolve anymore)

-Supersaturated solution: The concentration of solute is greater than the maximum concentration predicted from the solute’s solubility

(Usually made by heating the solution until the solute dissolves, then cooling it very slowly)

The Effect of Temperature on Solubility

Increasing temperature:

-Increases the solubility of solids and liquids

(Stirring and particle size only affect the rate of dissolution, not the solubility)

-Decreases the solubility of gasses

(Ex. A soda turning flat on a hot day outside)

The Effect of Pressure on Solubility

Increasing pressure:

-Increases the solubility of gasses

(There’s more gas molecules on the surface of the liquid)

(Ex. Opening a soda can for the first time)

-Has little effect on the solubility of solids and liquids
