Solution defintions Flashcards
solute
solute is the substance being dissolved (ex the salt in water)
Concentration
ratio of the quantity of solute to the quantity of solvent
solvent
the thing or medium that is dissolving the solute ex the water in and water and salt mixture
aqueous solutions
have water as the solvent and are clear
electrolyte
aqueous solutions that conduct electricity
intramolecular forces
forces between atoms within a molecule, ex ionic, covalent or polar covalent
intermolecular forces
between molecules ()dipole dipole, van de Waal/London forces, hydrogen bonds
dilute
small quantity of solute compared to solvent
percent concentration
volume of solute (dm3/g)/volume of solvent(dm3/g) (100)
particle theory
E - everything is made of particles
I - identical substances have identical particles
S - spaces between them
A - Attraction forces between them
M - constant motion
when a gas is compressed in a container and its particles hit the wall does it lose energy?
no
what is gas pressure
gas pressure is the force caused by the gas particles hitting the walls of the container
therefore the faster they move, the more they will collide and therefore higher pressure
what is boyles law and for this to work what must happen? and why
He states that as you increase the pressure on gas, you decrease the volume. This is because as you increase the pressure, the distance between the gas particles decrease as they are being pushed together, therefore the volume decreases.
AKA : the volume of a fixed mass of gas at a constant temp varies inversely with the applied pressure
The temperature and number of moles of the gas must be constant because both of them affect the volume and pressure of the gas.
What is the absolute zero
the absolute zero is the temperature when all the particles haver no energy and are still
and how is the absolute zero found
as temp decreases so does pressure, therefore you can extrapolate the graph to reach 0 where there is no pressure, therefore no movement.
