The experiment discusses different dilutions of a drink mix solution and how concentration affects properties like color and taste. Methods to calculate concentration percentage are also explained.

Molarity (moles of solute per total volume), molality (moles of solute per mass of solvent), mass percentage (mass of solute per total mass), and volume percentage (volume of solute per total volume) were discussed.

Generally, increasing temperature and pressure increases solubility. For solids in liquids, higher temperatures provide more kinetic energy to break apart solute molecules. According to Henry's Law, solubility of gases in liquids increases with higher pressure above the solution.

EXERCISE 1

1. The normal recipe for preparing Kool-Aid® calls for adding the entire package and 1
cup of sugar to 2 quarts of water. Calculate the volume percent of this solution and
determine which of your samples is the closest to the concentration of the recommended
preparation. Again, assume that the weight of the drink mix is 0.0 g. The total volume of
the solution is 8 and 2/3 cups.

Solute: 1 cup of sugar


Total volume of solution: 8 and 2/3 cups

Concentration percentage: 2 × 100% = 11.54% (it is closest to the stock solution)

2. A solute often takes on properties of the solvent. How was this exhibited in Part 1?

From Part 1, we can tell that even though the solute (Kool-Aid®) is a solid, after it is mixed
with the solvent (water), it turns into having liquid properties.

3. List and describe the methods discussed to express the concentration of a solution

Molarity (solute moles per total volume), molality (solute moles per mass of solvent), mass
percentage (solute mass per total mass), volume percentage (solute volume per total volume),
and mole fraction (solute moles per total moles)

4. Describe the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility. If you had used boiling
water instead of lukewarm water, would your results have changed? If so, how?

Generally, with the increase in temperature and pressure, solubility also increases. Mostly in
solid-liquid solutions, temperature increases the solubility because of the increase in kinetic
energy that comes with higher temperatures that allows the solvent to more effectively break
the solute molecules, hence why Kool-Aid® dissolves faster and better in warm water. An
increase in pressure also increases solubility, mostly in gases. This is according to Henry’s
Law which states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure
of that gas above the surface of the solution

5. Rubbing alcohol is a commonly used disinfectant and has a cooling effect when
applied to the skin. The active ingredient in rubbing alcohol is isopropanol. In
drugstores, the most common concentration of rubbing alcohol sold contains 70%
(vol/vol) isopropanol in water. Assuming the rubbing alcohol manufacturer uses a
100% isopropanol solution, what volume of pure isopropanol is required to produce a
200-mL bottle of rubbing alcohol? Show all calculations in your answer.
