Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The term solution most generally refers to the concentration of solute particles in a solvent, which is often a liquid, but may also be a solid (e.g. sugar dissolved in water). It is usually the case that the solute particles can dissolve in the solvent to form a mixture of both solute and solvent particles, which are referred to as molecules.

(Chemical Connections 6 G) A manufacturing error occurred in the isotonic solution used in hemodialysis. Instead of $0.2 \% \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}, 0.2 \%$ of $\mathrm{KHCO}_{3}$ was added. Did this error change the labeled tonicity of the solution? If so, is the resulting solution hypotonic or hypertonic? Would such an error create an electrolyte imbalance in the patient's blood? Explain.

When a solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a solution of ammonium carbonate, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ is formed and ammonia gas, $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$, is released when the solution is heated. Write a net ionic equation for this reaction. Both $\mathrm{NaOH}$ and $\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ exist as dissociated ions in aqueous solution.

(a) before any NaOH is added;
(b) after addition of $5.0 \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of the NaOH solution;
(c) after addition of $10.0 \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of the NaOH solution;
(d) at the equivalence point;
(e) after addition of $20.0 \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of the NaOH solution.

Detergent molecules can stabilize the emulsion of oil in water as well as remove dirt from soiled clothes. A typical detergent is sodium dodecylsulfate, or SDS, and it has a formula of $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{10} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{-} \mathrm{Na}^{+} .$ In aqueous solution, SDS suspends
oil or dirt by forming small aggregates of detergent anions called micelles. Propose a structure for micelles.
