8.1 Solutions
Examples of Solutions
The solute and solvent in a solution can be a solid, liquid, and/or a gas.
Learning Check
Identify the solute in each of the following solutions: A. 2 g sugar (1) and 100 mL water (2) B. 60.0 mL of ethyl alcohol (1) and 30.0 mL of methyl alcohol (2) C. 55.0 mL water (1) and 1.50 g NaCl (2) D. Air: 200 mL O2 (1) and 800 mL N2 (2)
Solution
Identify the solute in each of the following solutions: A. sugar (1) B. methyl alcohol (2) C. NaCl (2) D. O2 (1)
Water
Water is the most common solvent is a polar molecule forms hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen atom in one molecule and the oxygen atom in a different water molecule
Formation of a Solution
Na+ and Cl ions on the surface of a NaCl crystal are attracted to polar water molecules are hydrated in solution by many H2O molecules surrounding each ion

Solution
Will each of the following solutes dissolve in water? Why or why not? 1) Na2SO4 Yes. The solute is ionic. 2) gasoline No. The solute is nonpolar. 3) I2 No. The solute is nonpolar. 4) HCl Yes. The solute is polar. Most polar and ionic solutes dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent.
