Chapter 0g: Solutions Flashcards
- homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances
- form when there is sufficient attraction between the solute and solvent molecules
solutions
two components of solutions
- solvent
- solute
present in larger amount
solvent
present in smaller amount
solute
Solutes and solvents may be… ?
- liquid
- gas
- solid
solutes are mixed with solvents so that they have the same __ __
physical state
solutes in a solution cannot be separated by __, but can be separated by __
- filtration
- evaporation
- one of the most common solvents in nature
- polar molecule due to polar O-H bonds
- molecules form hydrogen bonds
water
what type of molecule is water
polar molecule (O-H bonds)
How are solutions formed
solute-solvent interactions are large enough to overcome solute-solute interactions and solvent-solvent interactions
what dissolves what
like dissolves like
(polar - polar)
(nonpolar - nonpolar)
ex. of nonpolar molecules
- iodine
- oil
- grease
play an important role in maintaining proper function of cells and organs
electrolytes
Types of electrolytes
- strong electrolytes
- weak electrolytes
- nonelectrolytes
- dissociate 100% in water
- produce positive and negative ions
- form solutions that conduct an electric current strong enough to light a bulb
strong electrolytes
- dissociates only slightly in water
- forms a solution with a few ions and mostly undissociated molecules
weak electrolytes
- dissolve as molecules in water
- do not produce ions in water
- do not conduct an electric current
nonelectrolytes
Ex. of strong electrolyte formula
NaCl(s) –> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Ex. of weak electrolyte formula
HF(aq) <–> H+(aq) + F-(aq)
Ex. of nonelectrolyte formula
C12H22O11(s) –> C12H22O11(aq)
Examples of strong electrolytes
- ionic compounds
- acids such as HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4
Examples of weak electrolytes
- HF
- H2O
- NH3
- HC2H3O2 (acetic acid)
