A
35
Q

A
36
Q

A
37
Q

Define dissociation.

A

The breaking up of a compound into simpler constituents that are usually capable of recombining under other conditions.

Occurs in ionic compounds.

38
Q

Define ionization.

A

Where substances dissolve and then react with the water to form ions.

Occurs in covalent molecular compounds

These substances do not exist as ions when not dissolved in water, but when it dissolves in water it dissolves and then ionizes.

39
Q

Define strong electrolyte.

A

A substance that exists almost entirely as ions when dissolved in solution.

All soluble ionic compounds and some covalent molecular substances are strong electrolytes.

All strong electrolytes make solutions that are good conductors.

40
Q

Examples of strong electrolytes.

A

NaCl, CaCl2, Ca(NO3)2, HCl, HNO3, H2SO4

41
Q

Why are insoluble ionic solutes considered strong electrolytes?

A

The small amount of the solute that does dissolve will ionize completely.

42
Q

Define weak electrolyte.

A

A substance where only a small proportion of the molecules ionize in solution. The substance will dissolve but it will remain mostly as molecules in solution with few ions.

43
Q

Examples of weak electrolytes.

A

HF, CH3COOH, NH3

44
Q

Define nonelectrolyte.

A

A covalent molecular substance that dissolves in water but forms no ions at all.

Tend to be non-conductors.

45
Q

Examples of nonelectrolytes.

A

46
Q

Define precipitate.

A

The solid product that is sometimes formed when two aqueous solutions containing soluble ionic substances are mixed together.

47
Q

What does solubility depend on?

A

Solvation properties of polar substances.

48
Q

Define solvation.

A

The attraction of polar solvent molecules to both the anions and cations of the solid.

Define strong acid.

A

An acid that almost completely ionizes in solution. Very few acid molecules exist in solution, mostly ions.
