What is Dissolving ?
When an ionic compound (eg salt) dissolves in water, the compound disassociates. (breaks apart into cations and anions)
Ex: Ca(NO3)2(s) Ca2+
(aq)+ 2NO3-(aq)
When a covalent compound (eg. sugar) dissolves in water, the molecules simply
disperse due to attraction with polar water molecules. They do not disassociate.
An Ionic Compound
Dissolves:
A Covalent Compound
Dissociation - is the separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound is dissolved
CaCl2(s) Ca2+
(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
1mol 1mol 2mol
“dissociated ions” or
Ionization- when the ions are formed from the molecular solute, by the action of the solvent. This is different from dissociation.
Spectator Ions- ions that do not take part in the rxn.
AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
What happens when you put AgNO3 and NaCl in water?

PREDICTING THE FORMATION OF A PRECIPITATE
• Consider the possibility that a precipitate
may form.
• Must use the solubility table to decide
• Possible outcomes
– No visible reaction (nvr) – Formation of one ppt.

Colligative Properties of Solutions
Colligative properties are those that depend on the concentration of particles in a solution, not upon the identity of those particles.
Vapor Pressure Lowering Boiling Point Elevation
Vapor Pressure Lowering
• A nonvolatile substance added to a solvent has a lower
vapor pressure than a pure solution
• As the number of solute particles increase the
proportion of solvent (water) particles decrease
• Solute particles disrupts solution
• This lowers the vapor pressure over the solution
• Lower vapor pressure results in solution staying in the
Freezing Point Depression
Solute added to solvent (water) disrupts the crystallization which takes place as water
freezes
Each mole of solute particles lowers(-) the freezing point of 1 kilogram of water by 1.86o

Boiling Point Elevation
Solute added to solvent (water) lowers vapor

Osmotic Pressure
• A semipermeable membrane allows the
passage of some particles
• The movement of a solvent from lower to
higher solute concentration is osmosis
• Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must
be supplied to stop osmosis from occurring
• The greater the concentration of solution

I. Colligative Properties
a. properties that depend on the
concentration of solute particles but not on their identity.
A. Vapor Pressure Lowering
i. The vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure of a vapor in equilibrium with the liquid phase.
ii. The vapor pressure of a solvent is
B. Freezing Point Depression
i. The freezing point (Tf) of a pure solvent is lowered by the addition of a solute which is
insoluble in the solid solvent, and the
measurement of this difference is called
C. Boiling Point Elevation
i. which means that it is dependent on the
presence of dissolved particles and their number, but not their identity.
C. Osmotic Pressure
i.The osmotic pressure of a solution is the difference in pressure between the solution and the pure liquid solvent when the two are in equilibrium across a semi permeable
membrane, which allows the passage of
ii. If the two phases are at the same initial pressure, there is a net transfer of solvent
