Chemistry Unit 7 Flashcards
What are the types of solutions?
Liquid-Liquid
Solid-Liquid
Liquid-Gas
Gas-Gas
Solid-Solid
Example of liquid-liquid solution
ethanol and water – ALC
Example of Liquid-Solid solution
water and salt – salt water
Ex. Liquid - gas solution
co2 and water – fizzy water
ex. of gas gas solution
n2 and o2 – air
ex. of solid solid solution
alloys – bronze steel etc
What does immiscible mean
parts of solution cant mix ( wont form a homogenous mixture together)
ex: oil and water
What does miscible solution mean
The parts of a solution can be mixed in any proportion
Ex. Water and ethanol
What does solubility mean
It is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent to form a solution
What are intramolecular forces
strong forces within molecules
Ex: covalent bonds
What are intermolecular forces
forces between molecules
** due to dipoles
Why is water a good solvent
because its a very polar substance
How does water interact with other polar molcules?
by making h bonds or dipole dipole
What are the most polar substances?
Ionic compounds
ex: NaCl –> Na+ and Cl-
What happens to ionic compounds when they disolve
They DISSOCIATE into hydrated ions (aq)
what represents the Dissociation of ionic compounds
Dissociation equation
Ex: NaCl(s) –> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Do non polar molecules dissolve in polar solvents
NO – Like disolves like
Will molecules that have non polar and polar sections dissolve in water?
Yes, however the size of the non polar section decreases its ability to dissolve in water
Name of molecule thats both polar and non polar
Amphipathic
What three diff types of attractions must occur for something to dissolve
- Attraction of solvent to solvent
- Attraction of solvent to solute
- Attraction of solute to solute
To dissolve 1 substance in another three things must occur:
forces holding solute particles together must break
forces holding solvent particles break
attractions between solvent and solute must form
What factors affect rate of dissolving
1) solubility
2) temperature
3) surface area
4) stirring
how does solubility affect dissolving rate
things that are more soluble will disolve faster than those less soluble
how does temperature affect dissolving rate
solid solutes will disolve faster in warmer water
** fast water molcules keep solid suspended
gas solute are less soluble in warm water
** fast moving gas molecules separate from solvent
how does surface area affect dissolving rate
when you increase surface are you increase solubility (exposes more solute to solvent)
