2/28 Solutions Flashcards
what is a solution
a homogenous mixture of 2 or more compounds
when is something said to be soluble
when one substance (solute) dissolves in another (solvent)
what is a solute
component being dissolved (mixed) into the solvent
major vs minor component
major is solvent and minor is solute
what is solubility
max amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent
is there usually a limit to solubility of one substance in another
yes
are gases always soluble in each other
yes
miscible
two liquids that are mutually soluble
what are the three steps when mixing a solution
1)separate solute into constituent particles
2) separate the solvent particles from each other to make room for the solute particles
3)mix solute particles with solvent particles
what causes solubility of one substance in another to vary
temp and pressure
is enthalpy change of ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds endo or exothermic
endothermic
is change in ion dipole forces exo or endo thermic
exothermic
molar heat of solution
net energy flows resulting from the dissolution of a solid in water
break IMF =
endothermic
forming IMF is
exothermic
if it is soluble is it spontaneous or non spontaneous
spontaneous
solubility limit
max amount of soluble into solvent
saturated
Solution that has the solute and solvent in dynamic equilibrium (on the limit)
what happens if you had more solute to saturated solution
it wont dissolve
what does saturation coentration depend on
temp and pressure
unsaturated
solution with less solute than saturation (under limit)
what happens if you add more solute to unsaturated solution
it will dissolve
supersaturated
solution that has more solute than saturation (above limit)
what does solubility chart line indicate
limit
