Concentration and Solubility Pt. 1 Flashcards
What is the solvent?
The thing that does the dissolving
Ex. water
what is the order when writing a solution?
solute then solvent
solute-solvent examples
gas-liquid
gas-gas
liquid-liquid
liquid-solid
solid-liquid
solid-solid
Tyndall Effect
light is scattered and dispersed into a transparent medium. a laser can’t be seen in a clear solution.
what are the two types of solutions
electrolyte and nonelectrolyte
what is a electrolyte
a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current
ionic
what is a nonelectrolyte
a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution but doesn’t conduct an electric current
covalent
what are the two types of electrolytes
strong and weak
what makes up a strong electrolyte
- conducts electricity well
- all ions are dissolved
what makes up a weak electrolyte
- conducts electricity poorly
- small amount of ions are dissolved
what are the three things that can affect the rate of dissolutions
- increase surface area of solute
- agitate solution
- heat solution
what is a saturated solution
a solution that contains the max. amount of dissolved ions
what is a unsaturated solution
a solution that contains less solute than the max amount
more solute can be added
what is a supersaturated solution
a solution that contains more solute than a saturated solution DUE TO ADDING HEAT
“like Dissolves like” depends on what three things
- type of bonding
- polarity vs. nonpolarity
- IMF’s (intermolecular forces)
