Chapter 5 Flashcards
Homogeneous mixtures are called
solutions
the minor component of the solution is called the what
solute
The major component is called the
solvent
solutes are often described qualitatively as what?
dilute or concentrated
have a small amount of solute compared to solvent.
dilute solutions
have a large amount of solute compared to solvent.
concentrated solutions
A common way to mathematically express
solution concentration is
molarity (M)
is the amount of solute (in moles) divided by the volume of solution (in liters)
molarity
Often, solutions are stored as concentrated
stock solutions
there is an uneven distribution of what within the water molecule
electrons
oxygen side of a water molecule has what kind of charge
partial negative charge
hydrogen side of a water molecule has what kind of charge
partial positive charge
free moving charged particles able to conduct electricity
electrolytes
Ionic compounds are strong what
electrolytes
Molecular compounds (except for acids), dissolve in water as what
intact molecules: non-electrolytes
what are acids when they dissolve in water
molecular compounds that ionize
acids that ionize virtually 100% are called
strong acids
Acids that only ionize a small percentage are called
weak acids
when the anions and cations are separated from each other. This is called
dissociation
Slide 29
what happens when ionic compounds dissolve in water
the anions and cations separate from each other
