Chapter 11 Flashcards
solute
Component of the solution in lesser abundance
solvent
Component of the solution in greater abundance
Homogeneous
same composition throughout
Two factors drive a spontaneous process
- A lowering of the energy of the system
➢ the particles are in a more energetically favorable
arrangement - An increased dispersal of matter in the system
➢ an increase in the entropy (randomness) of the system
Ideal solution
when structurally very similar liquids are mixed
When the strength of the IMFs between solute &
solvent are the same as in the pure substances,
there is no energy change upon dissolution
strong electrolytes
completely dissociate into ions
Weak electrolytes
dissolve mostly as molecules but partially as ions
Nonelectrolyte
A compound that does not break up into ions when dissolved in water is s a poor conductor of electricity.
ion-dipole attractions or
ion-dipole forces
Water and other polar molecules are attracted to ions
via electrostatic forces, called ion-dipole attractions or
ion-dipole forces
✓Negative end of dipole attracted to cations, positive end of
dipole attracted to anions
✓Stronger dipole moment →stronger ion-dipole force
✓Higher charge & smaller size of ion →stronger ion-dipole force
Salute-Salute interactions
ionic bonds (strong)
Does not occur in gasses
Solvent-solvent interactions
H-bonds
Salute-solvent interactions
on-dipole forces (can be strong)
supersaturated solution
A solution with more solute than the solubility limit
How does the temperature of water effect the solubility of gas?
For all gases, the solubility in water
decreases as temperature increases
✓ More disorder in gas phase than in
solution
✓ Higher temp drives molecules to be
more dispersed
Henry’s Law
Higher partial pressure of gas →more gas dissolves in
the solvent
T he solubility of a gas is directly
proportional to its partial pressure above the soln.
Cgas = kPgas
