Lesson 4: Colligative Properties of Solution Flashcards
Form ions when water dissolves and can conduct a current (conductivity)
Electrolyte
The physical change that occurs when the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution
Dissociation
Considered to be completely ionized in water
Strong electrolyte
Most of them are ionic compounds and few molecular compounds
Strong electrolyte
They tend to supply ions to the aqueous solution better than weak electrolytes on nonelectrolytes
Strong electrolyte
They have strong acids and a strong base
Strong electrolytes
Ionic compounds not completely ionized or dissociated in water
Weak electrolyte
Weak acids and bases
Weak electrolytes
A compound that does not ionize in solution at all
Nonelectrolyte
Most molecular compounds (covalent bonds) are weak or _______
nonelectrolytes
Colligative Properties
- Vapor pressure lowering
- Boiling point elevation
- Freezing point depression
- Osmotic pressure
The pressure of the vapor phase above the liquid at this point is called the _______
equilibrium vapor pressure
A solution with higher solute concentration
Hypertonic
A solution with lower solute concentration
Hypotonic
A solution with equal solute concentration
Isotonic
