Question 4

What is the minor component of a solution called?

Answer 4

solute

Question 5

How does mixing affect entropy?

Answer 5

mixing leads to an increased entropy

Question 6

What is lattice energy?

Answer 6

 Lattice energy is the energy required to pull the solute apart

Question 7

Answer 8

positive

Question 9

What is the enthalpy of solvation?

Answer 9

the energy released when the solute interacts with the solvent

Question 10

What is the energy released when the solute interacts with the solvent?

Answer 10

enthalpy of solvation

Question 11

Should the enthalpy of solvation be positive or negative for a solution?

Answer 11

negative

Question 12

What does miscibility mean?

Answer 12

o If two liquids mix in any proportions we call them miscible. If they don’t they are immiscible

Question 13

What does Henry’s Law state?

Answer 13

states that the mole fraction of gas dissolved in the liquid (like the concentration) is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the liquid

Question 14

What law states that the mole fraction of gas dissolved in the liquid (like the concentration) is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas over the liquid?

Answer 14

Henry’s Law
