Lecture 8 - Solutions Flashcards
True/False: water has the ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances
True
aqueous solution = homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture
homogeneous
7 types of solutions: gas/gas gas/liquid liquid/liquid liquid/solid solid/liquid solid/solid gas/solid
air (O, N, and other gases) soda pop (CO2 in H2O) vinegar (acetic acid in H2O) dental fillings (Hg in Ag) sea water (NaCl in H2O) brass (Zn in Cu) nitrogen in steel
the measure of how much solute will dissolve in a solvent
solubility
solutions that contain the max amount of solute for the given conditions - cannot dissolve additional state
saturated solutions
why does the temperature always need to be specified when describing a saturated solution
because the solubility depends on temperature and temperature must be specified because of the “temperature effect” on solubility
most solids become more soluble in aqueous solution with _____ temperature
increasing
gas solubility decreases with _____ temperature for aqueous solutions
increasing
solutions that contain less than the max amount of solute - can dissolve additional state
unsaturated solutions
if a substance does not dissolve in a solvent
insoluble
contain a small amount of solute relative to what could dissolve
dilute solutions
contain a large amount of solute relative to what could dissolve
concentrated solutions
all solutes that dissolve in water can be divided into two categories
electrolyte
nonelectrolyte
a substance that dissolves in water to give an electrically conducting solution
electrolyte
a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electricity poorly
nonelectrolyte
when an ionic substance dissolves in water it _____ into its ions
dissociates
component present in the greatest amount
solvent
