CLUSTER 3 Flashcards
normally the component present in the greatest amount, andall the other components are
called solutes
Solvent
contain water as the solvent and either a gas, liquid, or solid as a solute.
solute.
Types of intermolecular interactions involved in the solution process:
- o Solute–solute interactions must be overcome to disperse the solute particles through the solvent (endothermic).
- Solvent–solvent interactions must be overcome to make room for the solute
particles in the solvent (endothermic). - Solvent–solute interactions between solvent and solute particles occur as the
particles mix (exothermic).
solute interactions are either comparable to or greater than the solute–solute and solvent–solvent.
magnitudes of the solvent
once separated from the solid, the ions are surrounded by water
molecules.
Solvation or hydration
opposite of the solution process
Crystallization
when the rates of these opposing processes become equal
Dynamic equilibrium
Types of Solutions
- Saturated
- Unsaturated
- Supersaturated
solution that is in equilibrium with undissolved solute
Saturated
if we dissolve less solute than the amount needed to form a saturated
solution
Unsaturated
unstable solutions that contain a greater amount of solute than
needed to form a saturated solution
Supersaturated
Factors affecting Solubility
- Solute-solvent interactions
- Pressure effects
- Temperature effects
polar liquids tend to dissolve in polar solvents; for example, acetone in water.
Solute-solvent interactions
miscible - pairs of liquids that mix in all proportions
Solute-solvent interactions
nonpolar liquids tend to be insoluble in polar liquids; for example, hexane and
water.
