Unit 8 - Solutions Flashcards
What is the solubility of Potassium Nitrate at 50 C?
86 g Potassium Nitrate
Is the solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated, if I have 30 g of Potassium Nitrate in 100 g of Water at 30 C?
Unsaturated
Is the solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated, if I have 60g of Potassium Nitrate in 100g of Water at 30 C?
Supersaturated
How much solute will not dissolve if I have 80g of Potassium Nitrate in 100g of Water at 30C?
35g Potassium Nitrate
How much more solute could I dissolve if I have 10g of Potassium Nitrate in 100g of Water at 30C?
~32g of Potassium Nitrate
How much solute would crystallize out of solution once a solution of 85g of Potassium Nitrate in 100g of Water at 50C is cooled to 20C?
55g Potassium Nitrate
Molarity
Expressions of Concentration ( [] )
The amount of a component in a given area or volume.
Solute
The component being dissolved.
The component in the smallest amount.
Solvent
The component doing the dissolving.
The component in the largest amount.
Water is the universal solvent.
Concentrated
A relatively large amount of solute.
Dilute
Relatively small amount of solute.
Solution
Solute + Solvent
How to determine if a solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated.
Add more solute and observe the results.
Unsaturated
Contains less solute than it can at that temperature.
Saturated
Contains as much solute as it can at that temperature.
If you add more solute it will not dissolve.
