ch. 10- solutions, solubility, and concentration Flashcards
solution
a homogenous mix. with same concentration, color, density, and taste
solute
substance being dissolved
solvent
substance doing dissolving
solution takes state of _______
solvent
what are the 3 ways to speed up dissolving process
- stirring
- increase the surface area
- and increase the temp.
what is the purpose of the 3 methods (speeding dissolving)
to bring more solvent in contact with solute
solubility
max. amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a temp.
what are solutions described as
saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated
saturated
contains as much solute the solvent can hold at a given temp.
unsaturated
a solution that has less than the max. amount of solute that can be dissolved
supersaturated
solution that contains more solute than can be held at a given temp.
- very unstable
3 types of concentration:
% of volume,% of mass, and molarity
% by volume
volume of solute/ volume of solution x 100%
ex. juice gives % of “real juice”
% by mass
mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100%
- typically used when the solute is a solid
molarity
moles of solute/ moles of solution
concentrated
large amount of solute in solvent
dilute
small amount of solute in solvent
acid
compound thats produces hydronium ions (H3O+) when dissolved in water
properties: sour taste, reactive with metals, and ability to produce color changes in indicators
base
a compound that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water
properties: bitter taste, slippery feel, and ability to produce color changes in indicators
pH scale:
x<3 = strong acid
3
indicator
any substance that change color in the presence of an acid/base
neutralization
reaction b/w acid and base
-produces a salt and water
pH = measure of _____
hydronium ions
strong acid/ weak acid
ionize almost completely/ slightly when dissolved in water
strong base/ weak base
dissociate almost completely/slightly when dissolved in water
in weak acids/ bases the equilibrium favors the ______
reactants over the products
weak acids and bases can be used to make ______
buffers
buffer
a solution that is resistant to large changes in pH
concentration
amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent
strength
refers to a solutes tendency to form ion in water (complete or incomplete)
