Ions in Aqueous Solutions and Colligative Properties Flashcards
dissociation
separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves
compounds which dissociate in solutions
ionic compounds
spectator ions
ions that do not take part in chemical reaction
found in solution both before and after reaction
ionization
process of solute molecules forming ions by the action of a solvent
compounds which ionize in solutions
polar covalent compounds
determining factor of extent to which a solute ionizes in solution
strength of bonds within molecules in solute
strength of attraction between solute and solvent molecules
hydronium ion
H3O1+
strong electrolyte
dilute aqueous solution wherein all (or almost all) dissolved particles are ions
conducts electricity well
yields only ions when dissolved in water
weak electrolyte
dilute aqueous solution wherein a small number of dissolved particles are ions
conducts electricity poorly
differences between strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes
degree of ionization
degree of dissociation
conductivity of electricity
difference between concentrated solution and dilute solution
amount of solute dissolved in given quantity of solvent
colligative property
property that depends on concentration of solute particles (but not identity) in solvent
property of solvent (not solute)

expression of concentration in calculations involving colligative properties
molality
nonvolatile liquid
liquid with little tendency to become gas under existing conditions
liquid which does not easily evaporate
colligative properties
freezing point depression
boiling point elevation
volatility
osmotic pressure
volatile liquid
liquid that has tendency to become gas under existing conditions
liquid which easily evaporates
volatility
ability of to evaporate
molal freezing point constant
Kf
freezing point depression of solvent in a 1𝓂 nonelectrolyte with a nonvolatile solute
freezing point depression
Δtf
difference between freezing points of pure solvent and nonelectrolyte
directly proportional to molal concentration of nonelectrolyte
molal boiling point constant
Kb
boiling point elevation of solvent in a 1𝓂 nonelectrolyte with a nonvolatile solute
boiling point elevation
Δtb
difference between boiling points of pure solvent and nonelectrolyte
directly proportional to molal concentration of nonelectrolyte
freezing point depression equation
Δtf = Kf × 𝓂
boiling point elevation equation
Δtb = Kb × 𝓂
semipermeable membrane
barrier that allows movement of solvent particles while blocking solute particles
osmosis
movement of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from side of lower concentration to side of higher concentration
occurs whenever 2 solutions of different concentrations are separated by semipermeable membrane
osmotic pressure
external pressure applied to stop osmosis
net ionic equation
equation which includes only those compounds and ions that undergo chemical change in reaction of aqueous solution
