what is the def of a solution.
homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
what is the solvent in aqueous solutions? what is the solute?
water. Solute is a solid liquid or gas.
what is the def of solubility?
the amount of substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
what is true about two particles with opp. charges and their potiental energy?
Two particles with opp. charges (ex. proton and electron) move toward each other because their potential energy decreases as their seperation decreases.
what is entropy?
a measure of energy dispersal or energy randominzation. the tendency to mix is related to entropy.
what are the types of forces?
dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, hydrogen bond, dispersion.
energy tends to?
spread out or disperse when not restrained from doing so. the reason two ideal gases mix.
there are forces present between what in solution?
solute/solute, solvent/solvent, solute/solvent.
what forms if solvent/solute interactions > solvent/solvent and solute/solute
solution
what forms if solvent solute interactions are equal to solvent/solvent and solute/solute?
solution
what forms if solvent/solute interactions < solvent/solvent and solute/solute?
if its a small difference a solution will form if its a big difference solution will not form.
polar solvents tend to dissolve what?
polar and ionic solutes.
nonpolar solvents tend to dissolve what?
nonpolar solutes.
is methanol (CH3OH) more likely to be dissolvable in water or in a nonpolar solvent?
water. contains hydrogen bonding.
when hydrogen bonds occur what other two forces will also occur?
disperson, dipole-dipole
if a bond is ionic it is?
polar
what kind of bonds occur between ionic (polar) compounds?
ion-dipole, dispersion
what type of bonds occur between non polar covalent compounds?
dispersion.
polar covalent compounds without hydrogen bonding have what kind of bonds?
dispersion, dipole dipole
what is the def of a saturated solution?
a solution in which the dissolved solute is in equilibrium with the undissolved solid
