Chapter 13 solutions Flashcards
Solution
A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
Solvent
The component of a solution that is present in greatest amount
Solute
A component of a solution that is present in a lesser amount
Soluble
A compound is soluble if it dissolves in a solvent
Insoluble
A compound is insoluble if it does not dissolve in a solvent.
Miscible
Two substances that are soluble in all proportions are miscible
Dilute Solution
A solution that contains a low quantity of solute
Concentrated Solution
A solution that contains a high quantity of solute
Unsaturated solution
Solution that holds less than the maximum amount of solute possible
Saturated solution
Solution that holds the maximum amount of solute possible
Supersaturated solution
A solution that holds more than the amount of solute possible
Ion-Dipole Force
Intermolecular force between an ion and a polar molecule.
Henry’s law
Solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid
Like Dissolves Like
General rule to predict the solubility of molecular compounds. Polar solutes
dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents.
Concentration
Describes the amount of solute in a solution.
Molarity
The number of moles per liter of solvent. Often used as a conversion factor to convert
between volume and moles
Molality
The number of moles per kilogram of solvent
