Chapter 14: Solutions Flashcards
1
Q
Solution
A
Homogenous mixture of two or more substances
2
Q
Solvent
A
Major component in solution
3
Q
Solute
A
Minor component in solution
4
Q
Aqueous Solution
A
- Water is solvent
5
Q
Solubility
A
Amount of substance that will dissolve in given amount of solute
6
Q
Entropy
A
- Measure of energy randomization/dispersal in a system - Tendency is for energy to spread out/disperse whenever unrestrained
7
Q
Intermolecular Forces
A
- Dispersion: Weak - Dipole-Dipole: Separation of charges lead to electrostatic attraction - Hydrogen bond: Observe what H is bonded to; different in electronegativity - Ion dipole: Electrostatic force between ion and neutral molecule with dipole
8
Q
Solution Interactions
A
- Solute-Solvent: Interactions between solvent particles and solute particles - Solvent-Solvent: Interactions between solvent particle and another solvent particle
9
Q
Interactions and Formation
A
- Solvent-Solute > Solvent Solvent and Solute-Solute Interactions = Solution Formation - Solvent-Solute = Solvent-Solvent and Solute-Solute = Solution formation - Solvent-Solute < Solvent-Solvent and Solute-Solute = may or may not form
10
Q
Polar Solvent Examples
A
- Water, acetone, methanol, ethanol
11
Q
Non polar solvent examples
A
- hexane, diethyl ether, toluene, carbon tetrachloride
12
Q
Hess’s Law
A
Overall enthalpy change upon solution formation is sum of enthalpy ∆Hsoln = ∆Hsolute + ∆Solvent + ∆Hmix (endothermic) - If ∆Hmix is more than the remaining, heat of solution is negative (exothermic)
13
Q
Heat of Hydration
A
- Enthalpy change when 1 mol of gaseous solute ions are dissolve in H2O - Typically negative ∆Hsoln = ∆Hsolute + ∆Hydration - Take absolute value of ∆Hsoln and ∆Hhydration to compare; if solute is more, amount of E to separate solute into constituent ions is less than energy given off when an ion is hydrate (process is exothermic)
14
Q
Dynamic Equilibrium
A
- Rates of dissolution and recrystallization become equal
15
Q
Saturated solution
A
- Solution in which dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with solid solute (undissolved)
