This document provides definitions and information about solutions and crystallization. It defines key terms like solute, solvent, solution, concentrated, dilute, soluble and insoluble. It explains that heating a solution increases how much solute can dissolve in it. It also discusses growing crystals by rapidly or slowly cooling saturated solutions, and how solubility depends on temperature and volume of solvent. A solubility curve is introduced to plot how solubility changes with temperature.

Solutions & Crystallisation
In this topic: • Definitions: Solutes, solvent and solution
• Concentrated and dilute
• Soluble and insoluble
Growing crystals •• Saturation Solutions & Crystallisation Who can tell me what the following mean? • Solute • Solvent Solute: a substance E which dissolves • Solution Solvent: substance Ein which a solute dissolves (usually a liquid)
Solution: Formed when
E a solute dissolves in a solvent Concentrated and dilute Soluble and insoluble E Soluble: a substance which dissolves
E dissolve
Copper sulfate & water Chalk and water
Saturation
Saturated solutionE: contains as much
dissolved solute as possible Effect of heat on solubility
When you heat a solution, more solute will dissolve in it
What happens when a solute dissolves? • Does the volume change? NO What happens when a solute dissolves? • What happens to the mass? No loss of mass Growing our crystals 1. Heat our copper sulfate solution to dissolve as much as possible Teacher: Everyone: cool solution rapidly Cool solution slowly Cool RAPIDLY Small crystals
Cool SLOWLY Large crystals
Solubility Solubility: the mass (g) of a solute that dissolves in 100 g of E the solvent at a given
temperature • Depends on: – Volume of solvent – Temperature of solvent • The hotter a solvent, the more solute that will dissolve Solubility curve • Plots: – X axis: Temperature (°C)
– Y axis: Solubility (g per 100 g solvent)
• How do you plot a curve?
Copper sulfate solubility curve • 20°C: solubility = 20 g per 100 g water • 60°C: solubility = 40 g per 100 g water Chapter 18: Solutions and Crystallisation
