Water Week 1 Flashcards
What is a solution?
The dispersion of a substance uniformly through another substance.
What is a solvation
The interaction between ion-dipole attractions between solute and solvent
What is a saturated solution
A solution that is in equilibrium with a undissolved solute
What is a unsaturated solution.
Less solute than needed to make a saturated solution
How to you work out the mass percentage of a solution
Mass of component in solution/Total mass of solution X100
How do you work out the parts per million (PPm) of a solution
Mass of component in solution/total mass of solution X 10^6
How do you work out the molarity (m) of a solute
Moles of solute/Amount of solution
How do you work out the molarity of the solution
Moles of solute/Kg of solvent
What are colligative properties
Lowering/raising the freezing and boiling point are physical properties of that solution that depends on the quantity of solute, but not the “kind” or “identity” of the solute particles
What are strong electrolytes
Solutes that exist in a solution almost completely as ions
Essentially all soluble ionic compounds
What are week electrolytes
Solutes that exist in a solution mostly as molecules with a small amount of ions
What is chemical equilibrium
The balance between opposing processes determines the relative numbers of ions and neutral molecules
What are precipitation reactions
Reactions that result in the formation of an insoluble product
What are exchange (metathesis) reactions
Reactions in which positive ions and negative ions appear to exchange partners
What is shown in a molecule equation
The complete chemical formula of the reactants and products, without indicating there ionic character
