Unit 7 - Solution Chemistry Flashcards
Definition of Unsaturated Solution
Holds less solute than max
Definition of Saturated Solution
Holds max amount of solute
Definition of Supersaturated Solution
Holds more than max amount of solute
Definition of Aqueous Solution
Solvent is Water
What factors is the solubility of a substance is dependent by?
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Chemical Properties
How does pressure affect the solubility of a gas?
As pressure increases, solubility of gas INCREASES
How does temperature affect the solubility of a solid?
As temperature increases, solubility of solids increases
How does temperature affect the solubility of a gas?
As temperature increases, solubility of gases decreases
(Opposite of the Ideal Gas Law - Low Pressure and High Temperature)
What is the motto to follow regarding the effect of chemical properties on solubility? (4)
- Like Dissolves Like
- Polar Solvents Dissolve Polar Solutes
- Nonpolar Solvents dissolve Nonpolar Solutes
- Polar and Nonpolar cannot dissolve each other
How do Ionic Solids Dissolve? (4)
- In Polar Solvents
- Ionic Compounds Dissociate to Respective Charges
- Each Ion Surrounded by Solvent
- Act as Electrolytes (Remember Conduction)
Definition of Precipitate (2)
- An Insoluble/Solid Compound
- Forms as a Result of a Replacement Reaction
