Week 2 Day 1 Flashcards
solute
thing being dissolved
solvent
thing doing the dissolving (often water)
Solution
result of dissolving solute in solvent
M
Molarity
moles of solute / liters of solution
*uses volume of solution not solvent
density of water
1 g/ml at 4ºC, less at other temps
m
Molality
moles of solute / kg of solvent
*molality uses mass of solvent
percent by weight to volume (%w/v)
grams of solute / 100 ml of solution
Percent by weight to weight (%w/w)
grams of solute / 100 g of solution
ppm
(grams of solute/grams of solution) * 1,000,000
1 equivalent (EQ)
1 mole of “reactivity”
Ex. Na+ = one equivalent
Ca++ = two equivalents
osmolarity
Concentration of a solution expressed as total number of solute particles per liter
ex: the osmolarity of a 1 M solution of NaCl is 2 Osm
Solubility
the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a solvent
usually has units of mass/vol
ÂHsolute
the energy needed to break up solute
usually > 0
ÂHsolvent
the energy needed to break up solvent
usually > 0
ÂHmix
the energy we get back by the new arrangement
usually < 0
