Chapter 7 - Solutions Flashcards
solvent
the substance present in greater amount
solutes
- spread evenly throughout the solution
- cannot be separated by filtration
- can be separated by evaporation
- are not visible, but can give a color to the solution
- the solute can be molecular or ionic and is dissolved in the solvent
the solute and solvent in a solution can be a combination between?
solid, liquid, and or gas
gas solutions
gas in a gas = air
O2(gas) + N(gas)
liquid solutions
gas in a liquid soda water CO2 + H20 and NH3 + H20
liquid in a liquid (vinegar) acetic acid and water
sollid in a liquid (seawater) NaCl + H20
iodine + alocohol
solid solutions
liquid in a solid = dental amalgam = mercury L + silver S
solid in a solid = Brass = Zn S + Cu S and Steel C S + Fe S
Factors that affect dissolving rate
- conditions that increase the mixing between solvent and solute increase that speed of solution formation
a. particle size
b. temperature
c. stirring/agitatioin
particle size
smaller crystals will have a larger surface to volume ratio
- smaller crystals will dissolve faster due to the increased solute-solvent contact
temperature (for solid)
at higher temperatures solvent molecules posses more kinetic energy (more movement)
- at higher temp solvent molecules will hit the crystal surfaces with more force and frequency
stirring/agitation
increases the solute - solvent contact
solubility
the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a specific amount of solvent
- expressed as grams of solute in 100 grams of solvent usually water
g of solute
__________
100 g of water
solubility term for solid
soluble, slightly soluble, insoluble
solubility term for liquid
miscible, immiscible, partially miscible
Factors that affect solubility
Temperature
pressure
nature
temperature
- affects solubility
in general, the solubility of solids increases with increasing temperature
- sulobulity of gases decreases with increasing pressure
pressure ( gases)
- affect solubility
the solubility of gases increases with increasing pressure
nature of solute/solvent
- affect solubility
like dissolve like
Aqueous solution
solution in which water is the solvent
Water
- the most common solvent
- the most important solvent for life
- polar molecule
- forms hydrogen bonds between hydrogen atom in one water molecule and the oxygen atom in a different water molecule
- only ionic compounds and polar molecules are solute in water
What are soluble in water?
only ionic compounds and polar molecules
some ionic compounds, like NaCl dissolve very well in water at room temperature because of?
ion-dipole attraction
compounds that dissolve in a solvent are said to be? while those that do not are said to be?
soluble,
insoluble
the degree of solubility depends on?
the temperature
concentrated solutions
contains large amounts of solute
dilute solutions
contain small amounts of solute
unsaturated solutions
contain less than the maximum amount of solute
- can dissolve more solute
saturated solutions
contain the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve
- have un-dissolved solute at the bottom of the container
Concentration (equations)
C = Solute = amount of solute/ amount of solution
- percentage concentration: % m/m; m/v; v/v
- Molar concentration (molarity) M = mole of solute/L of solution
