SLIDE 11 Slide 61 / 142 Energy Changes in Solution
∆H1- Separation of solute molecules
∆H2 - Separation of solvent
molecules + ∆H3- Formation of solute-solvent interactions
*
The heat content of a system includes the internal energy of a system and the pressure and temperature and is referred to as ∆H. Three processes affect the energetics of solution: · separation of solute particles · separation of solvent particles · new interactions between solute and solvent
Slide 62 / 142 Energy Changes in Solution
The enthalpy change of the
- verall process depends
- n ∆H for each of these
steps. Solution can occur when the process is endothermic
is released or when it is pulled in from the surroundings. Why?

* Slide 63 / 142 Gibbs Free Energy
Reactions, including solution, will occur spontaneously as long as the change in Gibbs Free Energy is negative. When the process, is endothermic (heat is taken in from the surroundings), the increase in enthalpy is offset by an increase in entropy.

* Slide 64 / 142
Just because a substance disappears when it comes in contact with a solvent, it doesn’t mean the substance dissolved. Dissolution is a physical change — you can get back the original solute by evaporating the solvent. If you can’t, the substance didn’t dissolve, it reacted.
Solutions Slide 65 / 142 Saturated Solutions
In a saturated solution, the solvent holds as much solute as is possible at that temperature. Dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with solid solute particles.

Slide 66 / 142
In an unsaturated solution, there is less solute dissolved in the solvent at that temperature. Solid solute is not in dynamic equilibrium with dissolved solute
