Homogeneous Aqueous Systems

Question 0

Strong electrolyte

Answer 0

A solute that is completely ionized in solution

Question 1

Electrolytes

Answer 1

Substances that dissolve as ions. A solution of an electrolyte will conduct an electric current, whereas a solution of a non electrolyte is nonconducting. They conduct electricity when dissolved in H2O or when melted

Question 2

Weak electrolyte

Answer 2

A weak electrolyte is only partially ionized

Question 3

Hydrates

Answer 3

Water is an integral part of it’s crystal structure

Question 4

Water of hydration

Answer 4

Water in a crystal that is an integral part of the crystal structure

Question 5

Solvation

Answer 5

The process where solute ions become surrounded by solvent molecules

Question 6

Solute

Answer 6

Minor component of a solution

Question 7

Solvent

Answer 7

Major component of a solution

Question 8

Effloresce

Answer 8

A process where the water of hydration is lost from a hydrate that is exposed to air

Question 9

Dessicants

Answer 9

Drying agents

Question 10

Hygroscopic

Answer 10

Compounds able to remove moisture from air

Question 11

Solution

Answer 11

Homogeneous mixture (.1 nm 10^-9 m). Particles are completely dissolved.

Question 12

Colloid

Answer 12

(1-1000 nm), in between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture

Question 13

Suspension

Answer 13

(>1 Mm), heterogeneous mixture

Question 14

Dissolution

Answer 14

To increase the rate of dissolution (solid to liquid): stir, heat the temperature or increase the surface area. To decrease the rate of dissolution (gaseous solute in a liquid solvent): increase the temperature
