2.1 Flashcards
Solutions: what are mixtures?
- most natural substances
- have variable composition
- retain component properties
what is a solution?
- homogenous mixture (uniform distribution) of 2 or more substances in A SINGLE PHASE
Gas and solid solutions what happens?
- gases completely miscible (be able to mix)
- gas dissolved in solid: occupies spaces in solid lattice eg. H2 in Pd
What is an alloy?
solid solution of metals ( a metal made by combining 2 or more metallic element)
true or false: substances with similar types of intermolecular forces will dissolve in each other
true
The solution process: what are the factors which determine whether a substance dissolves
enthalpy- exothermic favors dissolving
entropy- always favors solution formation ( solutions form naturally; not pure substances)
true or false: energy required to separate particles
true
true or false: energy released when particles mixed and new attractions form
true
What does delta H soln stand for?
Heat of solution: it = the total enthalpy change when solution forms from pure solvent and pure solute
What does forming a solution involve?
- ) solute particles separate - endothermic
- ) solvent particles separate - endothermic
- ) solute + solvent particles mix - exothermic
express delta H solution = ….
overall enthalpy change - reflection of strength of intermolecular attractions
delta H solution = delta H solvent + delta H solute + delta H mixture
What are the heats of solution measured by?
calorimeter
true or false: When the delta H solution is highly positive, it is likely that the solute is highly insoluble
true
What does hydration mean?
solvation in water
true or false: solvation of ions in water is always exothermic
true
