Water and Aqueous Solutions Flashcards
What is the term for attractive forces in which a hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegtative atom is also weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom?
Hydrogen bonding
What is the term for a molecule in which one side of the molecule is slightly negative and the opposite side is slightly positive?
Polar Molecule
What is the term for a homogeneous mixture, that consists of solutes dissolved in a solvent?
Solution
What is the term for the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution?
Molarity
What term is the curved surface at the top of a column of liquid?
Meniscus
What is the term for the attraction between ions and water is so strong that water molecules are part of the crystal structure of many solids?
Water of Hydration
What is the term for the process by which the positive and negative ions of an ionic solid becomes surrounded by solvent molecules?
Solvation
What is the term for a solution that contains more than the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved at equilibrium conditions at a given temperature?
supersaturated solution
What is the term for any property of a solution that depends on the number of solute particles, and not on the nature of the particles?
colligative property
What is the term for a given temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid?
Henry’s law
What is the term for when liquids have limited solubility in each other?
Miscible
What term allows the formation of colloidal dispersion between liquids that do not ordinary mix?
Emulsifying agent
What is the term for substance that conducts electric current when dissolved in water?
Electrolyte
What is the term for a solution that contains the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature?
