26
Q

Henry’s law equation

A

C= k x p

c= concentration of solute gas in liquid solvent
p= pressure of gas above liquid

27
Q

what happens when the pressure of a gas above a solution decreases

A

the solubility of that gas in the solution also decreases

28
Q

what is the case of insoluble ionic compounds?

A

the ionic bonds are too strong for the polar water molecules to break

29
Q

when are sulfates SO4 2- insoluble?

A

when combined with Ba 2+, Pb 2+, Ca 2+, Sr 2+ and Hg 2+

30
Q

concentration of a solution equation

A

concentration of a solution= amount of solute/ amount of solution

31
Q

mass percent (m/m)

A

mass of solute (g)/ mass of solute (g) + mass of solvent (g) x 100%

32
Q

grams of solute in 100 grams of solution

A

mass percent (m/m) = grams of solute/ 100 grams of solution

33
Q

volume percent (v/v)

A

volume of solute/volume of solution x 100

34
Q

volume of solute in 100ml of solution

A

volume percent (v/v) = ml of solute/100ml of solution

35
Q

mass/volume percent (m/v)

A

mass of solute/ volume of solution x 100%

36
Q

mass of solute in 100ml of solution

A

mass/volume percent (m/v) = g of solute/ 100ml of solution

37
Q

molarity

A

M = moles of solute/ liter of solution

38
Q

equivalent (Eq)

A

the amount of electrolyte or an ion that provides 1 mole of electrical charge

39
Q

how are the concentration of electrolytes in intravenous fluids expressed as

A

milliquivalent per liter (mEq/L)

1Eq= 1000mEq

40
Q

how many mEq/L does a solution of 25mEq/L of Na+ and 4mEq/L have?

A

29mEq/L

41
Q

IV bottle

A

an IV bottle contains NaCl. If the Na+ is 34 mEq/L, the Cl- is also mEq/L

42
Q

dilution

A

in a dilution water is added. the volume of a solution increases. the concentration decreases

43
Q

what happens when water is added to a concentrated solution

A

there is no change in number of particles. the solute particles spread out as the volume of the solution increases

44
Q

dilution equation

A

c1v1= c2v2

v2= final volume: sum of the initial and added volume

45
Q

properties of solutions

A
  • transparent
  • do not separate
  • contain small particles, ions, or molecules that cannot be filtered and cannot be separated through semipermeable membranes
46
Q

properties of colloids

A
  • have medium-sized particles
  • can be separated by semipermeable membranes but not by filters

eg god, cloud, dust

47
Q

properties of suspensions

A
  • heterogeneous, non-uniform mixtures
  • very large particles that settle out of solution
  • can be filtered
  • must be stirred to stay suspended
48
Q

heterogeneous mixture

A

suspensions lead to precipitation where the solute’s molecules cannot stay suspended in a solvent

49
Q

what happens to the physical properties when a solute is added to water

A
  1. vapor pressure above the solution decreases
  2. The boiling point of the solution increases
  3. The freezing point of the solution decreases
50
Q

colligative properties

A

depend only on the concentration of solute particles in the solution

51
Q

vapor pressure lowering

A

increasing the concentration of a non-volatile solute particle in the solution decreases the number of solvent particles at the surface of the solution. it prevents some of the solvent particles from leaving the solution

52
Q

boiling point elevation

A

increase the concentration of nonvolatile solute particles in the solution raises the boiling point of the solution. more solute particles in the solution lower the vapor pressure: the solution boils at a higher temperature than the normal boiling point.

53
Q

freezing point lowering

A

adding salt to an icy road when the temperature drops below freezing allows the particles of salt to mix with the water and lowers the freezing point of the ice

54
Q

how does a solute that is a nonelectrolyte dissolve as

A

molecules

55
Q

how does a solute that is a strong electrolyte dissolve as

A

ions

56
Q

osmosis

A

water flows from a lower to a higher solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane

57
Q

osmotic pressure

A

equal to the pressure that would prevent the flow of additional water into the more concentrated solution

58
Q

when does osmotic pressure increase

A

as the number of dissolved particles in the solution increases

59
Q

reverse osmosis

A

a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied to a solution, forcing it through a purification membrane: water flows from an area of lower to higher water conc, leaving behind the molecules and ions in the solution

60
Q

IV solutions

A

isotonic solutions:

-exert the same osmotic pressure as body fluids such as RBCs
- include a 5.0% m/v glucose or 0.90 m/v NaCl isotonic solution

61
Q

A

lower concentration than RBCs and water flows into cells by osmosis: hemolysis

62
Q

hypertonic solution

A

has higher solute concentration than RBCs it involves water going out of the cell by osmosis

63
Q

dialysis

A

solvent and small solute particles pass through an artificial semipermeable membrane. large particles are retained inside. waste particles such as urea from blood are removed using hemodialysis.

64
Q

Raoult’s equation

A

P (solution) = X (mole fraction) x P (vapour pressure of the pure solvent)

P (solution) = P (vapor pressure of the pure solvent) x n (moles of solvent)/ (n (moles of solvent) + n(moles of solute))
