Water Solutions Flashcards
solution
a homogeneous mixture with an even distribution of molecules throughout
solute
substance that is being dissolved
solvent
substance doing the dissolving
solution
solute + solvent
mass percent
mass of solute / total mass soln. x 100
molarity (M)
moles solute / liters soln.
molality (m)
moles solute / kg solvent
ionic solutes: properties
ionic bonds, most are soluble in water, crystal lattice structures dissociate in water
molecular solutes: properties
low solubility except substances capable of hydrogen bonding w/ water and molecular acids
solution equilibrium
established when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
unsaturated solutions
not in a state of equilibrium and all solute particles are in solution
saturated solutions
in a state of equilibrium with un-dissolved solute particles remaining
super-saturated
when more solute is forced into a saturated solution, throwing off equilibrium
an increase in temp will __ the solubility of solids and __ the amount of solute in the soln
increase, increase
an increase in temp will __ the solubility of gasses
decrease
thermal pollution
the heat “pollution” generated by the process of a nuclear reactor
physical properties are dependent on
concentration and type of solute
electro-conductivity
physical property; soluble ionic solutes will conduct in water and molecular solutes won’t conduct except for molecular acids
colligative properties are dependent on
concentration only
vapor pressure
colligative property: increase in concentration will decrease v.p.
boiling point elevation
colligative property; b.p. of any solvent is elevated (increased) by the addition of any solute
freezing point depression
colligative property; increase in concentration will decrease freezing point
dilution problems
M1V1=M2V2
molal boiling point constant (Kb)
one mole of a soluble molecular solute in one kg of solvent (H2O) will increase the b.p. by 0.512 ℃/m
boiling point elevation equations
b.p. ↑ = m x Kb x ﹟Particles
△T = m x Kb x ℹ︎
molal freezing point constant (Kf)
one mole of a moleular solute in one Kg of water decreases the f.p. by 1.86 ℃/m
f.p. depression equations
f.p. ↓ = m x Kf x # Particles
△T = m x Kf x ℹ︎
