Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
solution
homogenous mixture of solvent and one or more solutes
solvent
substance that has other substances dissolved in it
solute
substance that is dissolved in solution
variable compositon
different ratios of solvent to solute are possible
aqueous solution
water is the solvent
miscible
substances that are soluble in each other in any proportion
immiscible
substances that do not readily dissolve in each other
alloy
solid metallic solution
solubility
amount of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature
saturated solution
solution in which no more of a particular solute can be dissolved at a specific temperature
unsaturated solution
solution in which more of particular solute can be dissolved at a specific temperature
ionic compound
compound formed by ionic bond
polar molecule
molecule that has an uneven distribution of charge
non polar molecule
covalently bonded molecule that does not possess a dipole moment
soluble
solubiilty is greater than 1g/100 mL of solvent
insoluble
solubility is less than 0.1g/100 mL
slightly soluble
solubility range between 0.1 g and 1g
rate of dissolving
speed at which solute dissolved in solvent
intermolecular forces
forces that exist between molecules
intramolecular forces
forces that bond atoms together within a molecule
dipole (dipole moment)
distribution of molecular charge between 2 opposite charges separated by short distance
dipole-dipole attractions
intermolecular force between opposite charged ends of 2 polar molecules
hydrogen bonding
strong intermolecular attraction between molecules containing H bonded to an atom of higly EN element FON
ion-dipole attractions
intermolecular forces between ions and polar molecules
hydrated ion
ion in aqueous solution - surrounded by and attrcted to water molecules
electrolyte
solute that conducts current in aqueous
non-electrolyte
solute that does not conduct current in aqueous solution
factors that affect rate of dissolving
- temperature
- agitation
- particle size
factors that affect solubility
- molecule size
- temeprature
- pressure
dissociation
separation of ions that are already present in a compound
ionization
formation of positively or negatively charged ions from molecules that do not initially contain ions
Ksp represents
the amount of solute that can dissolve plus the maximum concentration of the ions at equilibrium
Trial Ion Product (Q)
how to determine if a precipitate will form or not
if Q > Ksp
precipitate will form
if Q<= Ksp
precipitate will nor form
selective precipitation
situation where you have more than one type of cation or anion in solution and you want to precipitate one out and leave the other dissolved or you want to make precipitations that contain only one of the ions at a time
