unit 4) solutions Flashcards
Soluble meaning
substance which dissolves in its
solvent
Solvent meaning
substance doing the dissolving (water is
the most common solvent Universal solvent)
Solute
-substance dissolved
Insoluble
substance not able to dissolve in a particular
solvent
Electrolyte
solution which conducts electricity ionic acides and bases (non-electrolyte is solution doesnt conduct electicitry molecular )
homogenous mixtures need to at least have what
at least one solute and one solvent
why is water universal solvent
all aq have water as solvent
- allows more molecular movment more change collisions
- leads to greater surface area more area for molecules to interact
homogeneous mixture
the mixtures dissolved uniformly distruibuited (looks like one substance)
hetrogenous mixture
dont dissolved not uniformly distruibuited (can see different substances / things)
dissociation definiton
soulble ionic compounds (includes bases) will break into ions and be aq
dissolving def
molecular compounds (includes acids) have their molecules break but it doesnt form the ions
when ionic and soluble what does the dissociation process look like
it would break into the ions and be aq on the product side
when ionic / base and arn’t soluble what does it do
stays the same state of matter and it stays as a compound not ions
when dissociation equation with acids what do you do
they are reacting with water so its the process of ionization so itll be written same as ionic compounds when soluble aswell
what do products look like for a base dissociation equation and soluble
there will be ion and OH as aq on product side
diffrence between dissociation and ionization
ionization is the creation of ions and convert atoms into ions
and dissociation are when ions are already there but just need to be broken apart
what was arrhenious therory for acids
they ionize to produce H+ (aq) ions that react with OH to produce water
acid traits
- turn blue litmus red
- electrolytes
-neutralizes bases
