solutions Flashcards
solution…
homogenous mixture of two or more substances
solvent…
doing the dissolving
solute…
being dissolved
solubility
the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature
saturated solution….
maximum amount of solute dissolved in solvent
unsaturated solution
has the ability to dissolve more solute
factors affecting solubility
- structure (polarity/molecular shape)
- pressure (only affects gas)
- temperature (depends on state of matter)
polar substances are more likely to dissolve in…
polar substances
Nonpolar substances are more likely to dissolve in…
non polar substances
polar solvents that need to be memorized
H2O (water), CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane), CH3OH (methanol), CH3CH2OH (ethanol)
Nonpolar solvents that need to be memorized
CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride), C6H14 (Hexane), C7H8 (toluene)
pressure effects
- increasing pressure over a solution will increase the solubility on GAS
- pushes gas down
- NO EFFECTS ON LIQUIDS OR SOLIDS
Temperature effects (solids and gasses in water)
- for water solubility increases when temp increases
- for gases solubility decreases when temp increases
