6B Solubility Flashcards
Solubility
The maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent, at a given temperature
What are some soluble compounds/insoluble
Soluble: Sulfates, ammonium compounds, nitrates (and more)
Insoluble: Carbonates, sulfides
What do solublility product contain (ksp)
Concentrations of aqueous species only; NO solids
How do you determine if precipitate will form/not form
- Q<Ksp is Unsaturated so no precipitate will form
- Q=Ksp is a Saturated solution
- Q>Ksp is a supersaturated solution so precipitate will form
Precipitate
Insoluble solid the seperated from solution as a result of a chemical reaction
Spectator ions
Ions that are not involved in the net ionic equation but in the ionic equation
What happens if you add NaCl (strong soluble) to AgCl (weak soluble salt)
The presence of a common ion suprresses the solubility of AgCl. The presence of a common ion DECREASES the solubility of the salt
Compare the precipitate of a dilute solution and one with a common ion added
Dilute solution: only a small amount of precipitate
Common ion added: solubility decreases and more precipitation
AgCL and AgBR are both poorly soluble. IF we add Ag+ to a solution containing Cl- and Br-, what happens if AGBr has a lower Ksp
AGBr will precipitate first. AgCl will start precipitating when there is not Br- left
What are good Lewis acids and why
Transition metals because they bond to one or more H2O molecules to form a hydrated ion
Define complex ions and ligands
Complex ions: Ions that form by combining a cation with several anions or neutral molecule (Ag(H2O)2+
Ligands: The attached ions or molecules IN a complex ion (H2O
What is a complex ion formation reaction. What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction called.
The reaction between an ion and ligands to form a complex ion. Kf
The effect of complex ion formation on solubiluty
The solubility of an ionic compound that contains a metal cation that forms a complex ion increases in the presence of aquesous ligands
When do metal hydroxides become more soluble and why
More soluble in acidic solution by shifting the equilibrium to the right by removing OH-. Some metal hydroxides become more soluble in basic solutions by acting as a lewis base forming a complex ion,
