There are 3 different types of solutions - unsaturated, saturated and supersaturated. The main difference between these 3 types of solutions is the amount of solute in each type of solution. In this video, we explain the 3 different...

Theory of Thermodynamic Activity and Ionic Strength

We've learned a lot about solution chemistry, and we've also learned about thermodynamics and spontaneity. So what about the spontaneity associated with dissolution? If an ionic solid dissolves in water, is this an enthalpically or...

What the heck is gravimetric analysis? Well let's say we want to know how much of a substance is in some mixture. We could toss it in solution and cause it to form a precipitate with some other ion in solution. We can measure the mass of...

Here, I discuss the concepts of ideal and ideal-dilute solutions and how they relate to Henry and Raoult's Laws.<br/>
