Solubility and Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
What is a concentrated solution?
A concentrated solution has a high amount of solute
What is a dilute solution?
A dilute solution has a low amount of solute
What does mass/volume percent represent?
The ratio of the mass of a solute to the volume of solution
What are intermolecular forces?
Forces that occur between molecules
What determines the solubility of a substance?
The strength of intermolecular forces and the speed of molecules
What is the electronegativity range for polar covalent bonds?
ΔEN = 0.5-1.7
What is the electronegativity threshold for ionic bonds?
ΔEN of 1.7 or greater
What is hydrogen bonding?
A strong type of attraction involving H bonded to N, O, or F
Fill in the blank: London forces exist between ______ molecules.
all
What happens to the solubility of solids in water as temperature increases?
Solubility increases cuz water molecules move faster
What happens to the solubility of gases in liquids as temperature increases?
Solubility decreases, faster-moving gas molecules are more likely to escape from the liquid surface like a heated pop can, thats why it goes flat
Why do oil and water not mix?
Non-polar substances are pushed away by polar attractions
What role does temperature play in solubility?
Influences how much solid can dissolve and affects gas solubility
What does “like dissolves like” mean?
polar compounds dissolve polar, and non-polar compounds dissolve non-polar
What is hydration?
The process in which water molecules surround the molecules or ions of a solute.
The compounds won’t dissolve if?
If the attraction between both ions in the compound is too strong?
What is a solution?
a homogenous mixture with 2 or more substances
What are the traits of an electrolyte?
It is only ionic, dissociates into solution which spreads, and movement makes energy
