Solutions Flashcards
things about water (hydrogen bonding)
high surface tension
low vapor pressure
lots of energy to melt and boil
high specific heat- lots of heat
solution
a homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances in the same phase (not water)
parts of a sol
solvent, solute
solvent
the dissolving medium
solute
the substance dissolved in the solution
size of liquid things
solutions, colloids, suspensions
solutions
very small particles, homogenous, can see through the, mixed fully,
miscible
2 liquids dissolved in each other
immiscible
2 liquids that don’t dissolve in another
like dissolves like
-polar solvents dissolve polar or ionic compounds (changes dissolve charges)
-nonpolar solv. will dissolve n.p. substances
colloids
-particles are bigger than those in sols.
-particles are dispersed throughout but can’t be filtered, don’t settle
-still considered a homogenous mixture
-(milk, fog, smoke, whipped cream)
Tyndall effect
test for colloids, particles that are big enough to scatter the light
suspensions
-particles are even bigger than colloids
-considered hetero, mixture
-particles aren’t dissolved
-unless continuously stirred the particles will settle to the bottom
dissolution
a general process of dissolving (covalent compounds dissolve as a whole molecule, ionic compounds separate into ions)
dissociation
specific to ionic compounds dissolving into ions (polyatomic ions stay together as a group)
Electrolytes
ionic bonds spereate into charged particles when dissolved. the ions will carry change, conducting electricity
dissolution of covalent compounds
polar covalent compounds are held together by dipole-dipole
-the poles of water can break INTER-molecular bonds (between molecule)
-but they can’t break INTRAmolecular bonds (inside molecules)
what makes a substance dissolve faster
TAPS (temperature, agitation, particle size)
Temperature
-cold/hot water demo
-increases the rate of collision by having faster-moving molecules
-Each collision happens with more force, pushing solute farther into the solvent
Particle size
-crushing, grinding, ripping
-brings more solute from the inside into contact w/ the solvent particle
Agitation
-stirring, shaking, rolling
-created more collisions by moving saturated sol. out of the way
solubility
the limit to how much solute can be dissolved
solubility depends on
-solute
-solvent
-temperature
solubitiy chart rules
-on the line: saturated
-under the line: unsaturated
above the line: supersaturated
