Q

A

the process of an ionic compound dissolving

18
Q

An ion-dipole force is…

A

an attractive force between an ion and the oppositely-charged pole of a polar molecule, eg. a water molecule

19
Q

A precipitate is…

A

a solid formed when two dissolved ionic compounds react to form an insoluble ionic compound

20
Q

A spectator ion is…

A

an ion present in a solution when a reaction occurs, but that does not participate in the reaction

21
Q

Ionic equations are…

A

chemical equations in which the spectator ions are omitted

22
Q

Molarity is…

A

the number of moles of solute per litre of solution

23
Q

Ppm means…

A

parts per million: the concentration of a dissolved solute with the effective units of mg/L or micrograms/g

24
Q

% w/w means…

A

% weight per weight: the concentration of dissolved solute with the effective units of g/100g

25
Q

% w/v means…

A

% weight per volume: the concentration of a dissolved solute with the effective units of g/100mL

26
Q

% v/v means…

A

% volume per volume: the concentration of a dissolved liquid solute, with the effective units of mL/100mL

27
Q

A solubility graph is…

A

a graphical depiction of how the solute concentration required to form a saturated solution changes across a range of temperatures

28
Q

A saturated solution is…

A

a solution in which the maximum amount of solute is dissolved at that temperature

29
Q

An unsaturated solution is…

A

a solution in which less than the maximum amount go a solute is dissolved at that temperature, and in which more solute could dissolve

30
Q

A supersaturated solution is…

A

a solution in which more than the maximum amount of solute is dissolved at that temperature. This is an unstable solution which can arise when a saturated solution cools, and is likely to result in crystallisation of some of the solute

31
Q

Crystallisation is where…

A

a dissolved solute forms a solid due to it being in a supersaturated solution. This often arises due to the cooling os a saturated solution; the slower the solution cools, the larger the crystals form
