Solution Flashcards
Properties of an aqueous solution
Transparent, clear, not opaque
Transition metals color (salts)
Passes thru filter paper, dissolved particles small
Separate by distillation (not evaporate-collects all components)
Solubility
The amount of substance dissolved in another (# grams solute/100. g H2O) @ a given TEMPERATURE, (s/aq/l dissolve better in higher temp)
Solution
A homogenous mixture (aq) in which one substance is dissolved in another substance
Solute
Substance being dissolved (usually smaller mass than other) SALUTES THE SOLVENT
Solvent
Substance doing the dissolving AKA dissolving medium (usually bigger quantity)
Solvation
Process by which solvent surrounds/separates solute (molecule-ion attraction) “hydration” with water solvent (O has higher EN/negative, H is pos)
Saturated
Solvents holding as much solute as is can @ given TEmpEraTuRE, when the rate of dissolving=rate of recrystallizing in equilibria (solution equilibria)
Unsaturated
Solvent can still hold more solute @ given TEMPPPP (below line)
What properties are temperature dependent?
Solubility & Saturation
Supersaturated
Solvent holding more solute than it can (above line)
How do you make supersaturated solution?
100g H2O can hold 5g, add 5g, add in 3g, raise temp, stir to dissolve, STABLE, let return to room temp/cool undisturbed, UNSTABLE, tap/add seed to disturb, exess 3g settle to bottom in flakes, returns to eq/solution above saturated
Density of water
1 g/mL
Dilute
Solvent>solute
Concentrated
Solute>solvent (on chart, g solute>100g H2O)
Solubility of gases
Negative slopes, so dissolves better/stable @ LOWER temp (soda, increase temp/increase entropy/unstable CO2)
