unit 13 solutions :/ Flashcards
solution
homogenous mixture of two or more substances: clear and will NOT disperse light
solvent
dissolves solute
solute
dissolved by solvent
soluble
able to be dissolved
miscible vs immiscible
two LIQUIDS that can mix are miscible, if two liquids cannot they are immiscible (oil and water)
solvation
the process of dissolving a solute
how can you tell which is solute and which is solvent?
solvent is usually the bigger component, solute is smaller
the solubility rule
‘like dissolves like’
substances are soluble when IMFs and forces of attraction are similar
“like dissolves like” rule
polar dissolves polar AND ionic
nonpolar only dissolves nonpolar
why does like dissolves like work
full charges attract full charges partial charges attract partial charges
nonpolar charges attract IMFs
polar molecules prefer more polar things to fully satisfy charges
review LDMs and polarity
LDM ionic
1. draw kernel (symbol with oxidation # changed)
2. put brackets
3. put ion charges around brackets
Molecule LDM
1. add valence electrons
2. put LEAST electroneg in the middle except not hydrogen or halogens
3. -2 es for every bond connecting and put two dots around every atom until 8 around every atom
4. form multiple bonds if necessary
remember, H2S is polar goddamn it
electrolyte
a chemical compound that ionizes when dissolved OR MOLTEN and forms an electrically conductive substance
ionic compounds are electrolytes bc they dissolve/melts into loose ions with charges
non electrolytes
no mobile ions produced, just molecules (e.g. sugar)
most compounds starting with ‘C’ are nonelectrolytes (unless acid or base sometimes) and bad conductors are not usually electrolytes. covalent = non electrolyte
strong vs weak electrolytes
strong electrolytes ionize completely and have a strong current
weak electrolytes ionize partially and have a weaker current
is solution formation a physical or chemical change?
physical change (you can get back solute by evaporating solvent)
temperature effect on solubility (and why) (for liquids and solids)
increase in temp increases solubility
because particles move faster and move more particles around
temperature effect on solubility (and why) (for gases)
temp increase causes solubility decrease for gases because thermal and kinetic energy overcome attractive forces (LDFs)
pressure effect on solids
no pressure effect on solubility of solids
pressure effect on gases
direct relationship: as pressure increases solubility increases
particle size and solubility
smaller particle size increase solubility because can dissolve all at once all exposed
