Chapter 4 Flashcards
What is a solution?
Solution is a homogeneous mixture, has uniform composition that consists of two parts.
What are the two types of solution?
Solute and solvent.
Define solute.
A type of solution that dissolves in a larger quantity of another.
Define solvent.
Larger quantity that dissolves the solute.
When does water serve as a solvent?
In aqueous solutions.
How is water polar?
Uneven distribution of electrons and bent molecular shape.
How do ionic compounds dissolve?
Water separates ions in an ionic compound by forming stronger attractions between the ions and water molecules, causing the ions to become solvated.
What is an insoluble substance?
For ions that do not dissolve on water, attraction between cation and ions is greater than attraction with water.
What is an electrolyte?
When I wanna compound dissolve, the solution has electrical conductivity, which is called electrolyte
What is a non-electrolyte?
In polar bonds, water and the compound are attracted to each other. Most covalent compounds don’t break into ions and remain as molecules.
What is the si unit for concentration?
Molarity.
TRUE OR FALSE
Concentration is an intensive property.
True.
Define concentration.
The quantity of solute dissolved in a given quantity of solution.
What is the equation for finding molarity?
Molarity = Mole of Solute

What are spectator ions?
ions that appear unchanged on both sides of the equation.
