chem chap 11&13 Flashcards
what is molarity
moles of solute/liters of solution (M)
what is mass percent
mass of solute/mass of solution x100
what is molality
moles of solute/kg of solvent (m)
what is mole fraction
moles of a/total moles (Xa)
what is normality
number of equivalents/liter of solution (N)
explain normality
when you have multiple ions for every mole of a molecule
H2SO4 has two H+ ions for every mole of H2SO4 so 2eq/L
what are the steps in solutions formation
- the solute separates into individual components (expanding solute)
- the intermolecular forces in the solvent are overcome to make room for the solute (expanding solvent)
- solute and solvent interact to form the solution
does the solute and solvent expanding require or release energy
require energy since overcoming the intermolecular forces takes energy (endothermic)
does a solution forming absorb or release energy
release (exothermic)
solutions form between similar compounds or different compounds
polar molecules form solutions with polar molecules
nonpolar molecules form solutions nonpolar molecules
why do water and oil not mix
because ΔH1 and ΔH2 are large (exo) because oil is a large molecule and water has hydrogen bonding (lots of energy required)
ΔH3 is small because the molecules only minimally interact with eachother (LDF and induced dipole)
ΔH of solutions is large so no solution forms
what factors affect solubility
polarity (structure)
pressure (henry’s law)
temperature
what is henry’s law
C=kP where:
C is the molarity
k is a constant that varies
P is the partial pressure of the gas solute above the solution
as the temperature of a gas increases the solubility
decreases (sulphates act as gases)
why is the smallest gas the least soluble
because it is harder to get it into a solution
why do nonideal solutions that react poorly have a positive deviation
because the poor reaction weakens the surface pressure (bonds are less strong) which allows for more vapor pressure = positive deviation
