Solutions and their Properties Flashcards
What type of mixture is a solution
A homogeneous mixture
Homogeneous
No noticeable difference in a mixture.
Concentration
The amount of solutes dissolved in a given quantity of solvent
Intermolecular force
Forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules or atoms.
Miscible liquids
Completely soluble in each other
Hess’ Law
Endothermic reactions + exothermic reactions = overall reaction
When is enthalpy positive
Solute - solute mixtures
Solvent - solvent mixtures
When is enthalpy negative
Solute - solvent mixtures
Exothermic reaction
Energy released; temperature increase
Endothermic reaction
Energy used; temperature decreased
Molarity
moles of solute/ liters of solution
Mole fraction
moles of a component/ sum of moles in all components
Percent by mass *100%
mass of solute/ mass of solution
Molality
moles of solute/ mass of solvent (kg)
Solubility
Amount of solutes dissolved in a given volume of solution
