Solution and Colligative Properties Flashcards
Matter exists in two types
pure substances
mixtures
have fixed composition such as elements and compounds
pure substances
have variable composition
mixtures
Two types of mixture:
homogenous
heterogenous
have a single phase and are same in appearance throughout
homogenous mixture
mixture that have two or more distinct phases
heterogeneous mixture
homogenous mixtures that consists of solute and solvent
solution
substance that is dissolved
solute
dissolving agent
solvent
Solution may be classified according to the state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) of the solvent and the solute such as:
liquid-liquid soln
liquid-solid soln
liquid-gas soln
solid-solid soln
solid-gas soln
gas-gas soln
contains less amount of solvent
concentrated soln
contains more solvent
dilute solution
maximum amount of solute dissolved by a given amount of solvent at a definite temperature
solubility
Temperature dependent
solubility
contains less solute and completely dissolves in a given amount of solvent, at a particular temperature
unsaturated
the solvent contains the maximum amount of solute at a particular temperature
saturated
contains the maximum amount of solute at a higher temperature
supersaturated
The solubility of a particular solute in a given solvent is affected by several factors which includes the following
particle size
temperature
nature of solute and solvent
pressure
smaller particle size has larger surface area, thus, there is more points of interactions between the solute and solvent molecules. T
Therefore, smaller particle size favors a _____ rate of dissolution
faster
in general, a higher temperature (increases/decreases) the solubility of solid solute in liquid. The opposite is true for gases which becomes (more/less) soluble in liquid as temperature increases
increases, less
solubility follows the rule “like ____like”.
dissolves
Polar solutes dissolve in polar/nonpolar solvent while nonpolar solute dissolves in nonpolar/polar solvent
polar
nonpolar
this applies only to gaseous solute in liquid. An increase in pressure ____the rate of the solubility of gas
increases
as the temperature increases, solubility _____ (in most cases) except in gases (more heat, (more/less) gas dissolves)
increases
less
as the pressure _____ , solubility _____
increases
the _____ the surface area, the faster it dissolves
larger
quantitative way of such description
concentration units
common concentration units
% by mass
% by volume
% by mass-volume
molarity
molality
mole fraction
parts per unit (ppm, ppb, ppt)
