Solutions: Crash Course Chemistry

The video explores the concept of solutions, focusing on air as a solution of gases, and discusses the factors affecting solubility, including molecular structure, pressure, and temperature. It explains how solution concentration can be measured using molarity, molality, and mass percent. The video also delves into molecular interactions, highlighting the importance of polarity in solubility. It uses tetrodotoxin as an example of how polarity affects solubility and its impact on the nervous system. The video further explains gas solubility in liquids, emphasizing the role of pressure, and concludes with a discussion on how temperature influences solubility, particularly in aquatic environments.

What is tetrodotoxin and how does its polarity affect its solubility in the human body?

Describe how carbon dioxide is dissolved in soda. What role does pressure play in this process?

How does temperature affect the solubility of gases compared to solids? Provide examples to illustrate your answer.
