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
