Dissolution requires 3 Steps:
1. break solute-solute
interactions
! EXO OR ENDOTHERMIC?
2. break solventsolvent interactions
! EXO OR ENDOTHERMIC?
Enthalpy changes
accompanying the solution
process
L: Net exothermic process ("Hsoln<0)
Example: CuSO4
3. form solute-solvent
interactions
! EXO OR ENDOTHERMIC?
Is Dissolution overall Exo or
endothermic?
Is Dissolution Spontaneous?
Processes occur spontaneously when:
• energy is released (exothermic)
• disorder increases (increase in entropy)
! An endothermic process can be
spontaneous if the increase in
entropy (disorder) is large enough.

Dependence of Solubility on
Temperature
SOLUBILITY IS:
Effect of
Temperature
on solubility of
ionic solids
FACTORS THAT AFFECT SOLUBILITY
1. Temperature
! Effect of temperature on solubility of
ionic solids
! Effect of temperature on solubility of
gases
2. IMF’s: Type and Strength
Effect of
temperature
on solubility
of gases

Effect of Intermolecular Forces
on Solubility
In general: like dissolves like
Like dissolves like
What kind of molecule is CH3CH2OH?
What kind of IMF’s?
Is it an electrolyte?
. Polar solvents dissolve what kind of
solutes?
. Nonpolar solvents dissolve what kind of
solutes?
If the intermolecular forces broken
and formed are approximately equal,
dissolution is probable.

Effect of Pressure on Solubility
Does pressure affect solid, liquid or gas
solubility?
What happens to solubility of a gas when:
Increase Pg?
NH3 gas
H2O
Decrease Pg?
HENRY’S Law
Relationship between:
solubility
and pressure
Cg (note: text uses Sg)
H2O +
phenolphthalein
Pg
(pink/basic solution)
amount of gas dissolved (Cg)
is proportional to the partial pressure of
that gas (Pg) above the solution.
