Solubility, Solutions, IMFs, and Colligative Properties Flashcards
What occurs during dissociation?
An ionic compound separates into anions and cations when placed in water.
Provide an example of dissociation.
Na_2S (aq) –> 2Na^+ (aq) + S^2- (aq)
K_2SO_4(aq) –> 2K^+(aq) + SO_4 ^2- (aq)
What occurs during ionization?
A compound dissolves into ions when placed in water.
What makes a compound miscible?
When a molecular compound dissolves into molecules (NOT ions) when placed in water.
Provide an example of a miscible substance.
Sugar.
Sugar (s) + Water (l) –> Sugar water(aq)
What must occur to form strong electrolytes?
A chemical substance completely ionizes into its ions.
Can conduct electricity.
Provide examples of strong electrolytes.
Soluble salts, Strong acids, and Strong bases.
HCl(aq) –> H^+ + Cl^-.
What must occur to form weak electrolytes?
A chemical substance partially ionizes into its ions.
Can conduct electricity, but not as well as strong electrolytes.
Provide examples of weak electrolytes.
Weak acids and weak bases.
CH_3COOH (aq) <—-> CH_3COO^- (aq) + H^+ (aq)
What occurs to form non-electrolytes?
A chemical substance that dissolves in water but not as ions.
Cannot conduct electricity.
Provide examples of non-electrolytes.
Polar substances (ex: sugar and alcohol).
C_6 H_12 O_6 (s) –> C_6 H_12 O_6 (aq)
What makes a compound soluble?

What occurs during decomposition?
The reactant decomposes into two or more products.
A –> B+C
What occurs during synthesis?
Two or more reactants combine to make a product(s).
A+B –> C+D
What are the four types of synthesis reactions?
- Double displacement/precipitation.
- Single displacement.
- Reduction-Oxidation (Redox).
- Neutralization.
What occurs during neutralization?
An equal acid is mixed with an equal base.
A type of double displacement.
What occurs during double displacement/precipitation?
Two reactants are mixed, resulting in the formation of a solid in/on the product side.
What occurs during a redox reaction?
There is a transfer of electrons, resulting in ions being formed.
What is a common type of redox reaction?
Combustion reactions.
A substance is burned in the presence of oxygen, resulting in water and carbon dioxide being created.
*Corrosion is another type of redox reaction.
What occurs during a single displacement reaction?
Gases are formed.
