Chapter 8 Flashcards
Solute
A substance which is dissolved by another substance
Why is water such a good solvent
Because of the polarity and hydrogen bonding
The attraction of water molecules to different parts of a solute is enough to break the solute apart
What is solvation
As each ion in the solute is drawn into solution it is surrounded by water molecules
Solubility
The amount of solute that will dissolve a specific solvent under given conditions
Units for solubility
Grams of solvent/100g H2O @ 23C
Henry’s law
Solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid
Concentration
Amount of solute/amount of solution
Molarity
Moles solute/liters solution
Mass volume percent
Mass of the solute divided by the volume of the solution and multiplied by 100
Percent by mass
Massive of solute in mass of solution multiplied by 100
Percent by volume
Volume of solute divided by volume of solution multiplied by 100
Colloids
Particles tend to be small enough to pass through filters but too large to pass through semi permeable membrane (1nm-200nm)
Suspensions
Contain particles large enough to be trapped by filters and semi permeable membrane but small enough to stay suspended for a long while before settling out
They are heterogeneous mixtures
Osmosis
The movement of water through a semi permeable membrane from regions of low solute concentration to regions of higher solute concentration
Osmotic pressure
Movement of water to one side of the permeable membrane
