solutions Flashcards
solution
homogenous mixture (2 or more substances mixed together)
evenly dispersed
concentration
the quantity of a solute that is contained in a particular quantity of solvent in a solution
molarity
measure of concentration of solute in a solution
concentrated
relating to large amount of solute dissolved
dilute
very small amount of solute or adding the amount of solvent
saturated
contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved
unsaturated
less than the maximum amount of solute in a solution
ex. salt
supersaturated
more than the maximum amount of solute in a solution
steps of solution process for a solid solute dissolving in a liquid solvent and state the enthalpy changes associated with each step of the solution
- bonds form between solute and solvent
- delta h (PE) decreases, delta h is a negative number
- exothermic - warms surroundings
- bonds within the solute break
- delta h increases, delta h is positive number
- endothermic - cools surroundings
- bonds within the solvent break
- delta h increases, delta h positive number
- endothermic - cools surroundings
delta h1 + delta h2 + delta h3 = delta hoverall
- depends on the nature of the solvent and solute which could be positive or negative, could be endo/exothermic, could be cooling or warming change
delta h1 > delta h2 + delta h3
define enthlapy change of solution
the amount of heat that is released or absorbed during the dissolving process
solubility
maximum concentration of solute in solution under EQUILIBRIUM conditions
soluble
the ability of a solid, liquid, or gas chemical substance to dissolve in solvent
insoluble
a substance that will not dissolve in a solvent when mixing
predicting solubility
“LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE” - substances with similar polarity are generally soluble
- polar dissolves polar
- nonpolar dissolves nonpolar
- substances with similar IM bond strengths are generally soluble
ex. hydrogen bond matter dissolves hydrogen bond matter - some ionic bonds soluble in water bc their ionic bond strength similar to that of H2O
- all GASES soluble in other GASES
- melted down metals (liquid in liquid) have the same strength —> soluble
SOLUBILITY FOR WATER SOLUTIONS:
- any column 1 metal ion compound is soluble
- any compound containing NO3-, C2H3O2-, or NH4+ is soluble
polar if:
- asymmetrical
- charged
enthlapy of a hydrate and explain why this is one factor in prediction of the solubility of ionic compounds in water
NaCl —> Na+ + Cl-
- the sodium ion is hydrated
- there is a hydration shell around the Na+ insulating it from nearby Cl-
- different ions depends on different layers of hydration shells, depending on how strongly they are attracted to the oppositely charge ion
- the more strongly the attraction, the more H2O required to separate the ions
- the stronger the attraction the more likely the ion is likely to form a hydration shell
- when bond forms PE decreases (enthlapy) of the H2O and Na+ decreases
- enthlapy change = - number as bonds breaking between H2O molecule and ion size
- ions that have a large negative enthlapy hydration are usually parts of soluble solutions
What affects negativity of delta h hydration?
- amount of charge on ion
— the more charge, the stronger the bond, so increase in delta h hydration - size of ions
—the closer the distance, the larger the amount of force - based on atomic radius
