Solutions Flashcards
Percent Composition by Mass
Mass of solute / Mass of solution x100%
Mole Fraction
of mol of compound / total # of moles in system
Molarity
of mol of solute / liter of solution
Molality
of mol of solute / kg of solvent
Normality
of gram equivalent weights of solute / liter of solution
Solubility of a Substance
the maximum amount of that substance that can be dissolved in a specific solvent at a given temp
Soluble Solvents
have a negative ΔG
Insoluble Solvents
have a positive ΔG
Compounds that are always soluble
salts containing ammonium and alkali metal cations
salts containing nitrate and acetate anions are water soluble
Dilution Equation
MiVi = MfVf
Solubility Product Constant
Ksp
special case of Keq, calculated the same way
Ion Product
Analogous to reaction quotient
Tells us where we are in a reaction compared to equilibrium
Common Ion Effect
solubility of a salt decreases when it is dissolved in a solution that already contains a common ion… decrease in molar solubility
NO effect on value of Ksp
Osmotic Pressure
the amount of pressure applied to counteract the attraction of water molecules for a solution… water moves towards area of higher solute concentration (to even out)
Osmotic Pressure Equation
II = iMRT i= van't Hoff factor (# of particles a compound dissociates into) M= molarity R= ideal gas constant T= temp
