Unit 4: Solutions and Solubility Flashcards
What is a real life example of Quantitive Analysis?
A breathalyzer; measures concentration of alcohol in exhaled air.
What is the formula for meauring concentration?
C= N/V
Dilute
A small quantity of solute per unit volume of solution.
Concentrated
A large quntity of solute per unit volume of solution.
How can the wrong concentration be fatal? What happens when it’s too low?
Red blood cells can swell and burst (hemoglobic crisis). Cells are deprived of nutrients and oxygen.
When a label indicates “V/V” what does this mean?
V/V indicated 2 liquids that are being mixed together.
The first V represents the solute dissolved in the solution.
The second V represents the final volume of the solution.
What is the equation for calculating a V/V percentage?
Csolution = vsolute/vsolution X100%
*Your answer should be in units % V/V*
When you use W/V instead of V/V?
When there is a mass involved in the question.
What is the equation for calculating a W/V percentage?
Csolution= m solute/vsolution X100%
*Your answer should be in units % W/V*
Molar Concentration
The concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per unit volume of solution. (mol/L)
Dilution
The process of decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent. This doesn’t change the quantity of solute, only it’s concentration.
What is the equation for finding the concentration of a diluted solution?
CiVi=CfVf
What are the 2 equations for finding ppm?
1) 1ppm= 1g / 1000L
2) 1ppm = 1mg/L
*Choose based on the units in your problem*
What was the Arrhenius Acid Theory?
Acids are compounds that contain hydrogen and can dissolve in water to release hydrogen into solution. The hydrogen gives up its electron to the other element in the solution.
Example: HCl
What was the Arrhenius Base Theory?
Substances that dissolve in water to release hydroxide ions into solution.
