what is solubility
Solubility: the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature
what does the solubility curve show
• Solubility curve shows the relationship between solubility and temperature.
what happens if solubility increases with temperature vs vice versa
o Solubility increases as temperature increases (positive gradient)
o Solubility decreases as temperature increases (negative gradient)
what is an unsaturated solution vs saturated
- Unsaturated solution: contains less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature
- Saturated solution: contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature
what is a supersaturated solution
contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature (above the solubility curve)
what is the solubility equation
solubility = mass of solute/volume of solvent
what is volumetric analysis
Volumetric analysis determines the concentration of a solution by measuring the volume of the solution that will react with a known volume of a standard solution via titration.
what is a titration
process of adding a standard solution to a fixed volume of the other solution until the reaction between the two solutions is complete (end point)
what marks the end of titrations and what kind of reactions involve titrations
e.g. acid-base titration, redox titration
o The end point is marked by a colour change of the indicator.
o The equivalence point is reached when the reactants have just reacted
according to the stoichiometric ratio given by the balanced equation.
what is limiting reactant
the reactant that is used up first in a reaction
what is excess reactant
the reactant that is not completely used up
what is the total produce produced in a reaction determined by
The amount of product formed is determined by the limiting reactant.
what are the three concentration equations
conc in g/dm3 = mass of solute/solution vol
conc in mol/dm3 = no. of moles of solute/solution volume in dm3
conc in mol/dm3 = conc in g/dm3/ molar mass of solute
what is the octet rule
Octet rule: atoms tend to form bonds with eight electrons in the outer shell (stable octet configuration (for covalent)
what are some compounds of colvaent bonding
CH4 = Methane
NH3 or NH4+ = Ammonia
CO2
H20
what is an exception to solubility rule in small covalent strutcures
normally small cov are soluble in organic solvents and big covs are insoluble in all substances
however, hydrogen chloride HCl ionises in water
