—— is commonly used as rat poison
Fill in:
A solution consists of——-
———- a solute and a solvent
Solute (present in lesser amounts)
Solvent (present in larger amounts)
What is:
A binary solution?
A binary solution contains only 2 components
List:
Types of binary solutions:
- Gaseous solutions
- Liquid solutions
- Solid solutions
What is:
Mass percentage?
(mass of a substance/ total mass of a solution ) *100
Commercial bleaching solutions: 3.62% of sodium hypochlorite in water.
What is:
Volume percentage?
(volume of a substance/total mass of a solution) *100
35% solution of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) used to cool engines
What is:
Mass/volume percentage?
(Mass of a substance/volume of a solution) *100
What is:
Parts per million (ppm)?
(no. of parts (in mass/volume) of the component / total no. of parts (in mass/volume) of all components) *10^6
What is:
Mole fraction?
(no. of moles of the component/total no. of moles of all components)
Xa + Xb = 1
What is:
Molarity?
no. of moles of the solute/ volume of the solution (L)
Also: percent x density x 10 / M2
What is:
Molality?
no. of moles of solute/ mass of the solvent (Kg)
What is:
Solubility?
The maximum amount of substance that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a particular temperature.
It depends on: the nature of the substances, temp. and pressure
What is:
‘Like dissolved like’?
A solute will only dissolve in a solvent if the intermolecular forces in the two are similar.
What is:
Dissolution?
When a solid solvent is added to a solute, some of it dissolves and the conc. of the solution increases.
What is:
Crystallisation?
Some solute particles in the solution collide with the solid solute and get seperated out of the sollution.
