10.2 Gaseous solutions • All gases mix completely with all other gases in all proportions • Gases mix spontaneously hence ΔG for mixing process negative
10.2 Gaseous solutions • •
Enthalpy change when two gases are mixed is usually small Large positive Δmix S term ensures Δmix G negative
Intermolecular forces between individual gas molecules are tiny, and gas molecules are far • apart •
No impediment to the mixing of gases
10.2 Gaseous solutions • The magnitude of interatomic and intermolecular attractions in the condensed phase can determine whether or not two substances can mix
10.3 Liquid solutions • Gas–liquid solutions
– For a gas to dissolve in a liquid, the gas molecules must be able to disperse themselves evenly throughout the solvent
10.3 Liquid solutions • Gas–liquid solutions – Intramolecular forces between the solvent molecules are not negligible – Neither therefore is the value of ΔsolH, the enthalpy of solution
10.3 Liquid solutions • Gas–liquid solutions
10.3 Liquid solutions • Gas–liquid solutions – Solubility of gases vary significantly with temperature – Solubility of gases vary significantly with pressure
10.3 Liquid solutions • Gas–liquid solutions – For gases that do not react with the solvent, Henry’s law gives the relationship between gas pressure and gas solubility – cgas
c gas = kHpgas( constant T) is the concentration of the gas
– pgas is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution – kH is called the Henry’s law constant and is unique to each gas
10.3 Liquid solutions • Gas–liquid solutions – Equation is only true at low concentrations and pressures – An alternative expression of Henry’s law is: c1 c 2 = p1 p2 – c1 and p1 refer to initial conditions – c2 and p2 refer to final conditions
10.3 Liquid solutions • Liquid–liquid solutions – Formation of a liquid–liquid solution requires that the attractive forces present between the molecules of the two pure liquids is overcome – Two substances are MISCIBLE when they mix completely in all proportions – Two substances are IMMISCIBLE when they form two layers upon the addition of one to the other

10.3 Liquid solutions • Liquid–solid solutions – Basic principles remain the same – Solvation is when a solute molecule is surrounded by solvent molecules – Hydration occurs when solutes become surrounded by water molecules
10.3 Liquid solutions • Liquid–solid solutions – Like-dissolves-like – When intermolecular attractive forces within solute and solvent are sufficiently different, the two do not form a solution
