Section 1 Flashcards
Define a solution.
It is a homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances in a single phase. It is transparent and non-filterable.
Define solvent.
The substance that is in the largest amount in the solution.
Define solute.
Any substance(s) present in smaller amounts in a solution. A solution may contain more than one.
Define suspensions.
These are mixed, but not dissolved in each other Will settle over time Particles are bigger than 1 μm Examples: dust in air, muddy water
Define colloid.
A colloid is a suspension of molecules or aggregates of molecules or ions ranging in size from 1 to 1000 nm in some medium.
Define the tyndall effect.
It is scattering of light by particles.
Define coagulation.
Destruction of a colloid. Usually accomplished either by heating or by adding an electrolyte.
Define emulsion.
A colloidal dispersion of a liquid in a liquid Must have an “emulsifying agent” Ex) detergent, soap, egg yolk, solvents
What are the 3 types of solubility of solutes?
Dissolution Process Temperature Pressure
Define dissolution process.
Water dissolves ionic compounds and polar covalent molecules best. The rule is: “like dissolves like” Polar dissolves polar. Nonpolar dissolves nonpolar. Oil is nonpolar but water is polar. Oil and water don’t mix. Salt is ionic (polar) - makes salt water.
Define molecular polarity.
Determined by the arrangement of the molecule. Symmetrical molecules are nonpolar. Nonsymmetrical molecules are polar.
Define nonpolar.
Need to be exactly the same.
What is the exception to the polarity rule?
Carbon and hydrogen bonds
Define inter molecular forces.
Attractive forces between molecules. Much weaker than chemical bonds within molecules.
Define the 3 types of IMF.
London dispersion Attraction between two instantaneous dipoles. Asymmetrical electron distribution for all atoms and molecules Weakest of the IMF Dipole-Dipole Forces Attraction between two permanent dipoles Force for all polar molecules Hydrogen Bonding Attraction between molecules with N-H, O-H, or F-H bonds Extremely polar bonds. Strongest IMF
How does water interact with non-polar molecules?
Water doesn’t dissolve nonpolar molecules because water can not hydrogen bond to non-polar molecule. Instead, water hydrogen bonds to itself.
How does water interact with solids?
Solids will dissolve if the attractive force of the water molecules is stronger than the attractive force of the crystal.
How do ionic solids dissolve?
Water breaks the + and - charged pieces apart and surrounds them. Opposites attract. Salt Cation to Hydrogen in water. Salt Anion to Oxygen in water.
What are the steps in the Interactions in the Solution Process?
Step 1: Expanding the Solute (solute-solute interaction) must overcome IMF or ion-ion attractions in solute requires energy, ENDOTHERMIC ( + ΔH) Called ΔH1 Step 2: Separation of Solvent (solvent-solvent interaction) must overcome IMF of solvent particles requires energy, ENDOTHERMIC (+ ΔH) Called ΔH2 Step 3: Combine solvent with solute. (solvent-solute interaction) attractive IMF form between solute particles and solvent particles “Solvation” or “Hydration” (where water = solvent) releases energy, EXOTHERMIC (- ΔH) Called ΔH3 ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3 = ΔHsoln
Define the Temperature Effect on Solids
solubility increases with increasing temperature Increase K.E. increases motion and collision between solute / solvent.
What are the exceptions to the Temperature Effect on Solids.
Na2SO4 and Ce2(SO4)3 solubility decreases with increasing temperature
What are the 3 types of solutions?
Saturated contains the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature. Unsaturated contains less solute than the solvent has the capacity to dissolve at a specific temperature. Supersaturated contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.
How do you solve a solubility curve problem?
Use the formula
Sat. pt. From graph X (g H2O / 100)
Define the Temperature Effect on Gas
The solubility usually decreases with increasing temperature. Increase K.E. result in gas escaping to atmosphere.
