Ch 5 Lec 1 - Reactions in Aqueous Solutions Flashcards
the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in the solvent
saturated solution
the solution can hold more solute
unsaturated solution
amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent
solubility
solubility varies with blank
temperature
more solute is dissolved than should be possible based on the solubility
supersaturated solution
reaction in which a solid forms in the solution
precipitation reaction
substance that provides ions to the aqueous solution
electrolyte
completely dissociate in solutions
strong electrolytes
example of a strong electrolyte
salts like KBr, NaBr, NaCl
do not completely dissociate
weak electrolytes
example of a weak electrolyte
CH3COOH H+ + CH3COO-
dont dissociate at all
non-electrolytes
example of a non electrolyte
glucose, molecular compounds
chemical equations which describes the dissociation of ionic compounds
dissociation reactions
certain cations and anions combine to produce an insoluble ionic solid (precipitate)
precipitation (ionic) reactions
