Chapter 8- Solutions Flashcards
Solution
A homogenous mixture that consists of one or more solutes uniformly dispersed at the molecular or ionic level through a medium known as the solvent
Present in larger amount
Solvent
Present in smaller amount
Solute
What is a mole?
The amount of substance calculated by molecular weight in grams
Molality (m)
Moles of solute/ kg solvent
Molarity (M)
Moles solute/ L solution
Mole fraction (x)
Moles 1/ moles 1 + moles 2 +…
Weight percent
(Grams solute/ g solution) x 100%
Parts per million (ppm)
Grams solute/ 10^6 g solution
Or
Mg solute/ L solution
Parts per billion (ppb)
Grams solute/10^9 g solution
Or
micrograms solute/ L solution
Solubility
Amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent
Saturated
A solution that contains the maximum amount of a solute, as defined by it’s solubility
Supersaturated
A solution contains more solute than allowed by the solubility
Miscible
Two solutions are miscible if they are soluble in each other in all proportions
Polar solutes more soluble in?
Polar solvents
Like dissolves like
