Solubility
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Solute | the substance being dissolved |
| Solvent | the substance that does the dissolving |
| Aqueous solution | a solution where water is the solvent |
| Ionic bond | when 2 or more atoms try to gain electrons or get rid of electrons to match the number of the nearest noble gas |
| Molecular compound | when they dissolve, they spread uniformly throughout the solvent and don’t break apart into atoms |
| Ionic compound | when they dissolve, the chunks of solute break up into ions |
| Dissociation | the breaking apart of a compound into ions in an aq solution |
| Electrolyte | will dissolve in water |
| Nonelectrolyte | won't dissolve in water |
| Weak electrolyte | will only partially dissociate |
| Strong electrolyte | will completely dissociate |
| Solubility | the ability of a substance to dissolve in water |
| Nitrates (NO3-) | soluble |
| Acetates (C2H3O2-) | soluble |
| Perchlorates (ClO4-) | soluble |
| Group 1 salts (H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) | soluble |
| Ammonium salts (NH4+) | soluble |
| Chlorides (anything with Cl) | soluble, except for Pb, Ag, Hg |
| Bromides (anything with Br) | soluble, except for Pb, Ag, Hg |
| Iodides (anything with I) and Sulfates (SO4-2) | soluble, except for Pb, Ba, Sr, Hg |
| Carbonates (CO3-2) and Phosphates (PO4-3) | insoluble, except for ammonium and group 1 salts |
| Hydroxides (OH-) and Sulfides (anything with S) | insoluble, except for Ca, Sr, Ba, Group 1 |
| Complete ionic equation | shows everything in the mixture as it actually appears |
| Net ionic equation | shows only what reacts |
| Spectator ion | things that don’t participate in the reaction and end up the same as they were before |
