Test 4: Solutions Lecture 1 Flashcards
Solutions
homogeneous mixtures with particle sizes smaller than 2.0 nm.
When particles are larger than 2.0 it creates a homogeneous mixture called a
colloid or suspension
Solutions consist of what two parts?
solvent and solute
solvolysis
the molecular process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent
When the solute is a liquid we differentiate between
the two by determining
which is present in higher quantities
Solvolysis occurs if the molecules of the solvent interact __ with the molecules of the solute.
favorably (attraction between molecules, atoms, or ions)
With gases inside water, we find that __ are much more soluble than __ones
polar gases; nonpolar
generally, compounds become __ with increasing temperature.
more soluble
Because molecules have more entropy in the gas phase, heating a solution with dissolved gases
makes them __ because__.
less soluble; they have more energy to escape
For solutions of gases in liquid, the best way to increase gas solubility is to
increase the external pressure of that gas.
