chapter 8 Flashcards
solutions and bases
substances can disolve in water in 3 ways
dissociation, disperation, ionization
dissociation -
the process by which an ionic compound seperates into ions
dispersion-
a process in which a compound that breaks into small peices that spreads throughout water
ionization
the process by which neutrak molecules gain or lose electrons (forming ions)
solute-
a substance whose particles are dissolved in a solution (often solids)
solvent-
the substance in which the solute dissolves (often a liquid)
solutes and solvents can take the form of
liquids or gasses
the solution always takes the state of the
solvent
Three physical properties a solution can differ from those of its solute and solvent are
conductivity, freezing point, and albility to conduct electricty
conductivity-
the ability of a soltuion to conduct electricty
freezing point-
tempature of a liquid becoming a solid
freezing point is changed with the additon of
ionic compounds
boiling point-
the tempature of a liquid that becomes a gas
_____ raise the boiling part of water and keeps engines from overheating
coolants
formation of new solutions by the additions of ionic or molecular compounds requires
energy change
during formation of a solutions energy is
reduced or absorbed
ethodermic-
forming attractions released energy
factors that affect the rate of disolving including
surface area, sitrring and tempature
dissolving takes place ____
at the surface
the greater the surface area is the _____ the dissolving
faster
