Chapter 13-14: Solution Chemistry Flashcards
Define heterogenous mixture and give an example
Greater than 2 or more clearly different components( greater than two or more phases)
Chex mix
Define a solution
A mixture of things not a reaction
Describe the size of particles in a heterogenous mixture
Size and have vary and are not uniform
Define a homogenous mixture an give an example
2 or more different substances in a single phase (distributed evenly)
Ex: Kool aid mix and water
Describe the composition of the participles in a homogenous mixture
Uniform particles
Define a homogenous solution
A homogenous mix of 2 or more substances in a single phase
Describe the three types of particles in a homogenous solution and describe their size
Atoms ions molecules
.01-1 nm
How many parts does a solution have?
Two: solvent and solute
Define a solvent and give an example
Present in greater amounts,
Dissolves the solute
Water
Define a solute an give an example
Lesser amounts, is being dissolved
Kool aid
Describe types of soln and give dime examples
Any solid liquid or gas dissolve in any other solid liquid or gas
Gas in gas- air
Gas in liquid- pop
Solid in liquid- sugar in water
Solid in solid - cu in sn( bronze) “alloy”
Define a suspension mixture and give an example
When particles of a solid are too large to dissolve and settle( heterogeneous)
Muddy h2o
What us another phrase for a suspension?
Soln wannabe
Describe the particle size in a suspension
1000nm +
Define a colloid mixture and give an example
When particles in a soln are too large to dissolve but too small to settle
Jello
Describe te particle size in a colloid
1-1000nm
Describe the solvent and solute in a colloid
Not a solvent but a “dispersing medium”
Not a solute but “dispersing phase”
Give 5 examples of colloids
Mayo- oil in water with egg yolk Smoke - solid dispersed in gas Fog- liq dispersed in a gas Smog - liq and solid in a gas Gel- solid in a liq (jello)
What is the Tyndall effect use for?
Aided to determine the difference between a colloid and a true soln
Describe electrolytes and gVe an example (what bond)
Dissolve in a soln to yield ions and will support electric current; usually ironically bonded
NaCl
Describe non e lytes and give an example (bond?)
Dissolve in soln but will not support electric current; covalent bond
Sugar
Why are acids an exception to non e lytes and why does this occur
Acids are covalent bonded but when they are in water soln they ionize and support current
Occurs because twt are very polar molecules
Why won’t pure water conduct electricity
B/c only 2 molecules out of every billion ionize
Why does tap water conduct electricity
Due to the ions present
Describe the amount if charges and particles in an ionic soln
There is always an equal number of charges present but not necessarily equal particles
What 3 factors affect the rate of dissolution?
Increase the surface area
Agitation
Change temp of solvent
Describe the effect temp on a soln
Increase in t will make collisions between solute abs solvent to be more energetic and frequent
Rate increases
But some solutes dissolve better in cold solvent
Define a saturated solvent
One that can not dissolve any more solute for its temp and volume
What’s another name for a saturated soln and why?
A soln @ equilibrium
No more dissolving/re crystallizing
Define unsaturated soln
One that’s still able to dissolve more solute
Define a supersaturated soln
One that has been forced to dissolve more solute than it should for a given temp and volume
How is supersaturation achieved
By heating
