Chem Ch 12 A quiz Flashcards
What are solutions
Homogenous mixtures in single phase
Solvent
Major part of solution
Does the dissolving
Ex: aceton, water
Solutes
Dissolved substances in solution
Properties of solutions
Solutes cannot be filtered out of a solution
Solutes do not settle out of solution
Solutions are uniform
Solutions are not chemically combined
Solutions can vary in their concentrations
Types of Solutions
Liquid (soda, coffee, household cleaner)
Solid (gold rings, steel bars, staples)
Gaseous (atmosphere, scuba tank gas, cooking stove gas)
Liquid solutions: Miscible, immiscible
Miscible; 2 liquids mix to form homogenous mixture
Immiscible: when liquids separate after mixing
Solvation
Dissolving process in solid and liquid solutions
Solvent molecules (ex water) surround and separate solute molecules/ions (ex salt)
Gaseous
Gases cannot dissolve liquid or solid particles at normal pressures
How do things dissolve in liquid solutions
Solvation: Dissolving process in solid in liquid solutions
How do things dissolve in solid and gaseous solutions
Mix chiefly by diffusion
Where do we encounter diffusion in the real world
Cheap perfume/cologne, farts
Can you dissolve anything
Yes and no
Yes- polar solvents dissolve polar solutes vice versa with nonpolar
No- polar cannot dissolve nonpolar (water and oil)
Solubility
Max amnt of solute that can dissolve in specific solvent under specific conditions
Insoluble
Inability of solute to dissolve in certain solvent
Solution equilibria
Unsaturated: More solute can still be dissolved
Saturated: Solution contains max amnt of solute at given temp
