CH111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Solvation, Intermolecular Force, Miscibility
Document Summary
A homogeneous mixture containing two or more substances called the solute and the solvent. Solvent what the solute dissolves in (major component) Construct a table of different types and examples of solutions. If a substance is able to dissolve in solvent. If solvent and solute are soluble liquids, also said to be miscible. If the substance doesn"t dissolve into the solvent. If solvent and solute are liquids, also said to be immiscible an example would be oil and water. Solvation the process of surrounding solute particles with solvent particles to form a solution: this happens when attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent. Define salvation exist, and overcome the attractive forces between the solute. For example, in order for salt and water to mix, the dipoles (opposite ends) of the water must be attracted to the dipoles (opposite ends) of the salt.
