Q

what are four things to note about the equilibrium constant?

A
  1. the coefficient of each species becomes an exponent
  2. solid and pure liquids are NOT included
  3. aqueous solutions are included

Q

according to le chateliers, having an endothermic or exothermic does what to the reaction?

A

an exothermic rxn: heat acts as a product (exo)
an endothermic rxn: heat acts as a reactant (endo)

Q

when does a solution form?

A

when a substance dissolves and creates a homogenous solution (dissolution)

17
Q

what is solute?

A

sugar in tea, less amount

18
Q

what is solvent?

A

tea AKA solvation or hydration if solvent is water

19
Q

if solvent is water, the solution is

A

aqueous

20
Q

electrolytes are

A

free ions that have dissociate in solution

21
Q

strong electrolyte? weak electrolyte? nonelectrolyte?

A

strong: dissolves completely
weak: dissolves completely
nonelectrolyte: no dissociation and bonded covalently NOT ionicly

22
Q

a concentrated solution has

A

increased solute

23
Q

a dilute solution has

A

decreased solute

24
Q

a saturated solution has

A

no more solute will dissolve, at eq

25
Q

reversed dissolution is called

A

precipitation

26
Q

what is solubility?

A

amount of solute that will saturate a solvent

27
Q

what are the three phase solubility rules?

A
  1. solubility of solids in liquids increase with increased temp
  2. solubility of gases in liquids decrease with increased temp
  3. solubility of gases in liquids increase with increased pressure
28
Q

what are the three salt solubility rules?

A
  1. all group 1 and ammonium salts are soluble
  2. all nitrate (NH3), perchlorate (ClO4^-), and acetate (CH₃COO) salts are soluble
  3. all silver, lead, and mercury salts are insoluble EXCEPT when they are bonded with nitrate, perchlorate, and acetate.
29
Q

what is solubility constant? ion product?

A

solubility constant: to which something will dissolve at eq (product/reactant) BUT SOLID NOR LIQUIDS ARE INCLUDED
ion product: reaction quotient for solubility

30
Q

Qsp < Ksp

A

more salt can dissolved

31
Q

Qsp > Ksp

A

excess salt will precipitate

32
Q

what is the common ion effect

A

addition of another salt (common ion) will cause the backward reaction to be favored, theres more “product” present

33
Q

adding ligands (lewis bases) will have what effect on solubility?

A

increased solubility

34
Q

standard delta G < 0 is

A

spon favors products Keq > 1

35
Q

standard delta G > 0 is

A

nonspon favors reactants Keq < 1

36
Q

low solubility is equal to

A

smallest Ksp value
