Chapter 13 Flashcards
Intermolecular forces
Attraction between solute and solvent molecules
Thermochemistry requirements for an endothermic reaction to occur
Difference of enthalpy of mixture must be close to delta H of solute and solvent combined
Saturated solution
When the solution’s rate of crystallization and dissolving are equal.
Unsaturated solution
Not yet reach the amount where crystallization will occur
Solubility
Maximum amount of substance that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature
Supersaturated solutions
Hold more solute in solvent than possible at a given temperature
Miscible
Liquids that equally mix in all portions
Immiscible
Liquids that do not mix evenly
Colligative properties
Properties that depend on quantity not the identity of solute particles
How does vapor pressure affect solutions
because of Solute-solvent intermolecular attraction, higher concentration of nonvolatile solutes make it hard for solvent to vaporize
Volatile
Easily evaporate at normal temperature
Vapor pressure
Tendency for a substance to form into a gas
Raoult’s law
P(solution)=X(solvent)*P’solvent
Why does boiling point elevate
Because vapor pressure is lowered for solutions, it needs more heat to overcome atmospheric pressure
Why is freezing point lowered
Because boiling point is raised
Vant hoff factor
Number of particles a substance becomes when it dissolves
Vant hoff factor equations
(D)T_b = T_b(solution) - T_b(solvent)= + iK_b m
(D)T_f = T_f(solution) - T_f(solvent)= - iK_f m
Osmotic pressure equation
Pi= i(n/v)RT = iMRT
What happens if 2 solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane have the same osmotic pressure
No net osmosis, isotonic
Hypotonic
Low osmotic pressure solvent will leave this solution at a higher rate than it enters
Hypertonic
Higher osmotic pressure, solvent will enter solution
Colloids
Suspensions of particles larger than usual solutes but too small to be settled out by gravity
Tyndall effect
Colloidal suspensions can scatter rays of light, while solutions can’t
Emulsifier
Causes substance to dissolve in a solvent that can’t dissolve the substance
