The Chemistry of Solutions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| solute | substance being dissolved |
| solvent | substance IN which the solute is being dissolved |
| solution | created when a solute and a solvent are mixed together |
| The _____________________ ___________________ between opposite charges is the ONLY THING that holds IONIC COMPOUNDS together. They do not have chemical bonds. | electronic attraction |
| Water is a __________________ covalent compound, meaning it has a FRACTIONAL positive charge on its hydrogen atoms & a FRACTIONAL negative charge on its oxygen atoms. | polar |
| NON-POLAR covalent solids do NOT dissolve well in water because they have NO _________________ ________________ in them. | electrical charges |
| POLAR covalent solids CAN dissolve in water because they possess ___________________________charges. | fractional |
| Polar covalent molecules dissolve in water, but they do NOT | split into smaller parts. |
| Ionic compounds dissolve by breaking apart into | their individual ions. |
| Polar covalent compounds dissolve by separating each individual _________________________ from its neighbors. | molecule |
| In the SOLID phase, the solvent molecules must be attracted to the solute molecules so STRONGLY that | the solvent molecules can get BETWEEN the solute molecules (or ions) and pull them FAR APART from each other. |
| In the LIQUID phase, the solvent molecules need to be attracted to the solute molecules only a SMALL amount because the solvent | does NOT need to separate the solute molecules VERY MUCH. |
| In the GAS phase, the solvent molecules must be attracted to the solute molecules enough to pull the solute molecules _____________________ to one another. | closer |
| solubility | the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent |
| saturated solution | a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved |
| precipitation | the process by which a solute leaves a solution and turns back into its solid phase |
| The solubility of SOLID solutes usually ____________________ with INCREASING temperature. | increases |
| The solubility of LIQUID solutes is | NOT affected by temperature. |
| The solubility of GASES _____________________ with INCREASING temperature. | decreases |
| Increasing pressure INCREASES the solubility of ____________. | gases |
| Pressure | does NOT affect the solubility of liquids or solids. |
| exothermic | a process that LETS OUT heat |
| Most solids dissolve in an ____________________ manner; they must absorb energy to dissolve properly. | endothermic |
| FORMULA for molality | m = (# moles SOLUTE)/(#kg SOLVENT) |
| When calculating MOLALITY, we are concerned with ______________, not volume. | mass |
| When calculating MOLALITY, we divide only by the mass of the __________________ - NOT by the mass of the solution. | solvent |
| freezing point depression | when a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the freezing point of the solution will be LOWER than that of the pure solvent |
| boiling point elevation | when a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the boiling point of the solution will be HIGHER than that of the pure solvent |
| Kf | freezing point depression constant |
| Kb | boiling point elevation constant |
| i | number of molecules or ions that a solute splits into when it dissolves |
