Solutions Flashcards
Solutions
homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances that combine to form a single phase (usually liquid but can be any phase!)
Mixtures
gases dissolved in other gases as the moleculles do not interact chemically
Solute and Solvent
solute is dissolved into the solvent
the solvent stays in the same phase after mixing and is in greater quantity
Solvation
electrostatic interaction between solute and solvent molecules. breaking of intermolecular bonds of solute/solvents and combining solute to solvent
Also known as Dissolution and hyrdation if water is the solvent
When new interactions are stronger than original ones, the solvation is an ____ process and favored at _____ temperatures
exothermic
low
hen new interactions are weaker than original ones, the solvation is an ____ exothermic process and favored at _____ temperatures.
endothermic
high
Ideal Solution
bonds before and after solvation are equal ins strength and enthalpy is 0
Whether or not dissolution will occur spontaneously is dependent on the ______, _____ and _____ change.
gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy
Solubility
maximum amount of substance that can be dissolved in a particular solvent at a given temperature
Saturation
when maximum solute has been added and is in equilibrium, any more solute added will not dissolve and will precipitate
Dilute
Concentrated
when solvent:solute ratio is much larger for the solvent side
when solvent:solute ratio is much larger for the solute side
either way maximum equilibirum concentration has not been met
When change in gibbs free energy is ____, solute is soluble. When it is _____, solute is ______
soluble, insoluble
Sparingly Soluble Salts
solutes that dissolve minimally in solvent (molar solubility under 0.1 M)
Aqueous Solution
most common solution where solvent is water and interact with solute with hydration
can form hydronium ions when acids are involved
General Solubility Rules
- all salts containing ammonium and alkali metal (group 1) cations are water soluble
- all salts with nitrate (NO3-) and acetate (CH3COO-) are water soluble
- Halides except flourides are water soluble UNLESS formed with Ag+, Pb2+ and Hg2 2+
- Salts of sulfate ions are water soluble except those with Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2_ and Pb2+
- All metal oxides are insoluble except those with alkali metals, ammonium, CaO, SrO, and BaO which form metal hydroxides
- all hydroxieds are insoluble EXCEPT those with alkali metals, ammonium, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+
- all carbonates, phosphates, sulfides and sulfites are insoluble except those with alkali metal and ammonium
General Solubility Rule you NEED to know
all salts of group 1 metals and all nitrate salts are soluble
Complex Ion Complex/Coordination Compound
molecule where cation is bonded to atleast one electron pair donor (which may include water)
help together with coordinate covalent bonds where a lewis base (electron donor) and lewis acid (electron acceptor) form bonds
found in proteins, ex: hemoglobin in blood where oxygen, CO2 and CO are ligands
Ligand
electron pair donor molecule
