Solubility

• The extent to which a substance is soluble in a solvent.

• Examples (solubility in water at 25°C):– Cholesterol 0.002 mg/mL– Caffeine 22 mg/mL– Citric acid 620 mg/mL

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Solubility -- Definitions

• Solute: The substance that is being dissolved

• Solvent: The medium in which the solute is being dissolved.

• NOTE: In a solution, the solvent molecules greatly outnumber the solute molecules.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

If a liquid organic compound is dissolved in a solvent…

• Miscible: solute and solvent mix homogeneously in all proportions

• Immiscible: solute and solvent do not mix; they form two separate liquid phases

Some hints on doing the solubility lab:

1. You can do the various parts of the experiment in any order you wish! This eliminates lineups by the Balances. Part A is especially time consuming!

2. Be sure to approximate the amounts of solids you are using in Part A. You don’t need to be exact on the weights.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

• You will study the solubility behavior of benzophenone, malonic acid, and biphenyl in:

• Water, methanol, hexane

• How does the polarity of the solute influence the solubility in each of these solvents? What factors are at play, here?

Solubility Rule

“Like Dissolves Like”

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Why Does The Rule Work?

• If a substance is to dissolve in a solvent, the intermolecular attractions between solute molecules and solvent molecules must be similar in strength as the solute-solute and solvent-solvent intermolecular attractions.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Types of Intermolecular Attractions

• Dipole-dipole attractions

• Hydrogen-bonding

• Van der Waal (London) forces

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Many covalent organic molecules are not very soluble in water even if they are somewhat polar! Benzoic acid is an example.

When benzoic acid is reacted with sodium hydroxide, it is converted to an ionic substance (sodium salt), The ionic substance is now much more soluble in water! Ionic substances are very polar!

Compounds with amino groups are basic. Theywill become ionic when reacted with an acid becausethe lone pair on the nitrogen atom becomes bondedto a proton which creates an ionic substance.

Remember This…

• Ionic compounds are usually very soluble in water. Consider Na+ Cl-

• Higher molecular weight compounds with covalent bonds are usually

insoluble in water • If the covalent compound can be

converted to ions, it will dissolve in aqueous solution!

Experiment 3

• Note that this is a two-day experiment

• Plan on using your time as follows, or as your instructor suggests:

– First day: Part A and part B– Second day: Part C

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Experiment 3

• NOTE CAREFULLY:– Although the textbook does not say to

submit your samples with your laboratory report, the laboratory report sheet does!

– Be sure to submit your purified samples of sulfanilamide and fluorene in separate labeled vials.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Experiment 3

• If you do not obtain 150 mg of sulfanilamide crystals for Part A or 45 mg of crystals for Part B, expect to repeat the procedure until you get it right.

• The key is to figure out how to get crystals to form using the minimum amount of solvent.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Experiment 3• There is a pre-lab exercise that is due

to your instructor before beginning this experiment. The 4th edition of the textbook doesn't have the data for sulfanilamide (although you could guesstimate from the graph on page 648, figure 11.2). Use the following data, instead:

• 0 deg -- solubility 14 mg/mL• 20 deg -- solubility 24 mg/mL• 40 deg -- solubility 46 mg/mL• 60 deg -- solubility 88 mg/mL• 78 deg -- solubility 210 mg/mL

Remember to submit the samples with your laboratory report!

Solubility – Types of Solutions

Saturated: The solution contains the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at that temperature. No more solute can be dissolved.

Unsaturated: The solution contains less than the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at that temperature. More solute can be dissolved.

Supersaturated: The solution contains more solute than the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at that temperature. A supersaturated solution is unstable; a precipitate (or crystals) is likely to form if the solution is disturbed.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Crystal Formation

• A dissolved material will separate from the solution as it is cooled.

• If the crystal growth is slow and selective, that is crystallization

• If the crystal growth process is rapid and nonselective, that is precipitation.

• In crystal growth, molecules arranged themselves into a highly specific structure called a crystal lattice.

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Crystal Formation

• A successful crystallization depends on a large difference between the solubility of a material in a hot solvent and its solubility in the same solvent when it is cold.

• A material can be purified by crystallization when both the desired product and the impurity have similar solubilities, but only when the impurity represents a small fraction of the total solid.

What Are The Characteristics of a Good Crystallization

Solvent?• There should be a large difference in

solubility between hot and cold solvent• The boiling point of the solvent should be

well below the melting point of the solute.• The solvent must not react with the solute• The solvent should have a low boiling point

(makes removal of the solvent easy)• The solvent should be non-toxic• The solvent should be innocuous• The solvent should not be expensive

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Crystallization: Technique

• You should always do a crystallization in an Erlenmeyer flask or in a Craig tube.

• Do not use a beaker or a round-bottom flask for crystallization.

Good Laboratory Practice

• When you isolate crystals, allow them to air dry overnight.

• Wait until the following day to determine the weight or the melting point.

Determining Melting Points

• READ: Technique 9 (pp. 627 – 637)

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Melting point-Composition Curve

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Normal expectation for the melting point of an impure compound:

1. The melting point will be low compared to the literature value.

2. The melting point is never a single number! You will observe a range from when it starts to melt to when it has melted completely.

Melting point

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Mixture Melting Points

• The melting point can be used in identifying a compound.

1. One can compare the melting points of a known and an unknown compound.

2. If an unknown solid is mixed carefully with an equal amount of known compound, one can then determine the melting point of the mixture

WWU -- ChemistryWWU -- Chemistry

Mixture Melting Points

• If the melting point of the mixture is identical to the melting points of the two separate substances, we may say that the two substances are identical.

• If the melting point of the mixture is depressed, it is clear that the known and the unknown are different substances.
