Chapter 9 General Properties of Aqueous solutions Flashcards
solution
a homogenous mixture
solute
the analyze of interest
solvent
the medium in which the solute is dissolved or dispersed
Aqueous solutions
a solution in which the water is the solvent
solubility
the maximum amount of substance that will dissolve into a solvent at a given temperature
saturated solution
a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolve solid
electrolytes vs. non-electrolytes
once dissolved, different substances may behave differently and results in different types of solutions
electrolyte
substance that dissolve in water to form solutions that conduct electricity
non-electrolytes
substances that dissolve in water to form solutions that do not conduct electricity
electrolytes form ions there are two ways ion can be formed:
Dissociate: to separate, upon dissolving to form separate ions
ionize:the process in which a. molecular compound formed an ion
strong electrolytes
substances that dissociate or ionize completely
soluble salts, strong acids, strong bases
weak electrolytes
substances that partially dissociate or ionize
slightly soluble slats, weak acids, weak bases
conductivity
non-electrolytes: no ions-does not conduct electricity
molecular compounds(not acid/base)
strong electrolyte: lots of ions-conducts electricity very well
soluble salts
Soluble
- compounds containing an alkali metal cation(Li+,Na+,K+,Rb+,Cs+) or the ammonium ion(NH4+)
- compounds containing the nitrate ion(NO3-), acetate ion(C2H3O2-) or chlorate ion(ClO3-)
- compounds containing the chloride ion (Cl-), bromide ion(Br-), or iodide ion(I-)
exceptions: compound that contains Ag+,Hg2^2+,Pb2+ - compounds containing the sulfate ion(SO4^2-)
exceptions: compound that contains Ag+,Hg2^2+,Pb2+,Ca2+,Sr2+ or Ba2+
insoluble
- compounds containing the carbonate ion(CO3^2-) phosphate ion(PO4^3-) chromate ion(CrO4^2-) or sulfide ion(S2-)
exception: Li+, Na+,K+,Rb+,Cs+ or NH4+ - compound containing the hydroxide ion (OH-)
exception: Li+,Na+,K+,Rb+,Cs+,Ba+
molecular equation
the chemical equation that treats all species as molecules
total ionic equation
the chemical equation that explicitly shows the ions
spectator ion
ions that do not participate in the ration they appertains on both sides of the total ionic equation
acids
ability to dissolve metals. sour taste. turns litmus red
bases
slippery feel, bitter taste, turns litmus blue
acids
substances that contain H in the chemical formula and produces H+ ions when dissolved in water
