Solutions Flashcards
Metastable
Excess solute will crystallize if shaken or a seed crystal is added
Concentrated solution
A large amount of solute is dissolved into the solvent
______ Are metastable
Super saturated solutions
General rule of solubility in liquids
Like dissolves like
Grinding down a solute allows for faster dissolution because
More if the solute is exposed to the solvent
Aqueous
A solution where water is the solvent
Strong electrolytes
Conduct electricity, complete dissociate in water
The reaction of a weak electrolyte with water results in
An equilibrium
Molality
Moles of solute/ kg of solvent
Temperature dependent concentrations include
Any concentration including volume
In the conversion between temp dependent and temp independent units _______ must be used
Density
Molarity and molality are the same when
An aqueous solution is dilute (under 0.5 M)
Henry’s law
Solubility of gas (M) = k * partial pressure of gas
Raoults law
Actual vapor pressure = Vap pressure of pure solvent * mole fraction of solvent
According to Raoults law, solutes _______ the vapor pressure of a solvent
Decrease
