Chapter 4 Flashcards
a homogeneous mixture
solution
the component that is dissolved
solute
the component that does the dissolving
solvent
substance that dissolved in water produces a solution that conducts electricity
-contains ions
electrolyte
substance that dissolved in water produces a solution that does not conduct electricity
nonelectrolyte
ionic compounds separate into constituent ions when dissolved in solution
dissociation
formation of ions by molecular compounds when dissolved
ionization
100% dissociation
-al water soluble ionic compounds, strong acids and strong bases
strong electrolyte
- partially ionized in solution
- exist mostly as the molecular form in solution
- weak acids and weak bases
weak electrolyte
(formation of a solid from two aqueous solutions) occurs when product is insoluble
- produce insoluble ionic compounds
- double replacement (or metathesis reaction)
precipitation
is the maximum amount of a solid that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature
-prediction based on solubility rules
solubility
process by which water molecules remove and surround individual ions from the solid
hydration
shows all compounds represented by their chemical formulas
molecular equation
shows all strong electrolytes as ions and all other substances (non-electrolytes, weak electrolytes, gases) by their chemical formulas
ionic equation
shows only the reacting species in the chemical equation
-eliminates spectator ions
net ionic equation
produces H+ in solution
arrhenius acid
