Solution
Homogenous mixture
2+ substances
Solvent
Greatest quantity
Ie water
Solute
Dissolved in Solvent
Ie salt
Solution Concentration
Amount of Solute in Solvent
Solution Process
Break intermolecular attractions in solute
Break water water interactions
Form solute-water forces
Electrolyte
Dissolved in water to produce ions
Non-Electrolytes
Dissolve in water but don’t form ions
Acids
Dissociates to add Hydrogen to water
Basses
React with H ions to increase OH-
Salts
Ionic
Neither acid nor base
Strong
Disassociate/ionize completely
Weak
Partial ionization
Still dissolves
Metal Hydroxide
Metal ion + hydroxide ion
Polyprotic Acid
More than 1 ionizable proton
Ammonia
When dissolved, it breaks H2O into H and OH- to make NH4 from NH3
