Solutions Flashcards
mass percent
mass solute (g) mass solution (g)
molarity
moles solute volume solution (L)
molality
moles solute mass solvent (kg)
mole fraction
moles solute
moles solution
tyndall effect
light scattering in colloids because the solute isn’t small enough
solubility
a measure in the amount of solute that can dissolve in 100g H2O
liquid solutions
gas, solid, or liquid dissolved in a liquid solvent
miscible
2 liquids mix
immiscible
2 liquids don’t mix
liquid solutions example
carbonated drink, antifreeze, salt water
solid solutions
alloy (mixture of metals)
solid solutions example
brass is copper and zinc mixture
gas solutions
gases dissolved in each other
gas solutions example
air
aqueous: solvent?
water
tincture: solvent?
alcohol
suspension
particles will settle upon standing, can be separated by filtration, exhibit tyndall effect
colloid
cannot be separated or filtered, exhibit tyndall effect
emulsion
colloidal dispersion of liquids in liquids, need emulsifying agent to maintain stability
emulsifying agent example
soap
electrolyte
conducts current
nonelectrolyte
does not conduct current
factors affecting the rate of solution
surface area (crush solute), agitation (stir/shake), heating (increase KE)
saturated solution
contains all the dissolved solute possible at given temp. and pres.
unsaturated solution
contains less dissolved solute that max amount
supersaturated solution
contains more solute than is possible
dilute vs. concentrated solution
solute:solvent is small, vs. solute:solvent is large
factors affecting solubility
nature of solute/solvent (like dissolves like), temperature (inc. temp. inc. solubility), pressure (only for gaseous solute, inc. pres. inc. solubility)
henry’s law
mass of gas solute in given volume of liquid is directly proportional to pressure of the gas
what are colligative properties
any properties of a solution that change when the concentration of the solution changes
what do colligative properties depend on
number of particles dissolved in a given mass of solvent
colligative properties
vapor pressure depression, freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, color, taste, density
