Chapter 12 Flashcards
Solubility
Amount of the substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
Aqueous Solutions
Water is the solvent. Gas, liquid, or solid are the solvent.
Entropy
A measure of energy randomization or energy dispersal in a system.
Miscible
Substances that are soluble in each other in all proportions
Enthalpy of Solution (∆Hsoln)
The sum of the changes in enthalpy for each step. (i) If the sum of endothermic terms is about equal in magnitude to the exothermic term, then ∆Hsoln is about zero. (ii) If the sum of endothermic terms is smaller in magnitude than the exothermic term, then ∆Hsoln is negative and the solution process is exothermic. (iii) If the sum of endothermic terms is greater in magnitude than the exothermic term, then ∆Hsoln is positive and the solution process is endothermic.
Heat of Hydration [∆H(hydration)]
The enthalpy change that occurs when 1 mol of gaseous solute ions are dissolved in water.
Dynamic Equilibrium
The point at which the rate of the reverse reaction equals the rate of the forward reaction.
Saturated Solution
A solution in which the dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with any undissolved solute; any added solute will not dissolve.
Unsaturated Solution
A solution containing less than the equilibrium amount of solute; any added solute will dissolve until equilibrium is reached.
Supersaturated Solution
A solution containing more than the equilibrium amount of solute
Solubility of Gases
-Decreases with increasing temperature. -The higher the pressure of gas above a liquid, the more soluble the gas in the liquid.
Henry’s Law
Expresses the relationship between solubility of a gas and pressure: S(gas)=K(h)*P(gas)
Dilute Solution
Solution containing small quantities of solute relative to the amount of solvent.
Concentrated Solution
Solution containing large quantities of solute relative to the amount of solvent.
Molarity (M)
The amount of solute (moles) per volume of solution (L)
