Unit 4 – Solutions Flashcards
what is a solution made up of?
solution = solute + solvent
what is it called when water is the solvent?
an aqueous solution
define solubility
The maximum out of solute that will dissolve in a known amount of solvent
define precipitate
A solid substance it appears when 2 solutions are mixed or
a decreasing solubility
in the Chemical equation the compound with a low solubility is
The precipitate
what happens when in a chemical equation both compounds have a high solubility?
no precipitate occurs
solute formation
there are attractions between
two solute particles
two solvent particles
solute particles and solvent particle
what are the three intermolecular forces?
dipole dipole
London forces
hydrogen bonding
how do you prepare a volumetric flask or Erlenmeyer flask?
Tapwater Then rinse with deionized water
how do you prepare a beaker?
rinse with tap water then deionized water and then dry
how do you prepare a pipette or buret?
rinse with tapwater, deionized water, condition
why do you condition?
The deionized water left in the equipment will dilute the concentration of the solution
define solution and example
A homogeneous mixture (one phase) that is uniform throughout (looks like a pure substance)
example air oxygen nitrogen brass copper and zinc
Element
A pure substance that is composed of one kind of atom listed on the periodic table example H
compound
two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions example H2O
mixture
A mixture is made up of two or more different kinds of particles
solution and example
A homogeneous mixture (only one phase) that is uniform throughout (looks like a pure substance) example air 02, N2 and brass (copper zinc)
