Chapter 11

General Chemistry 2 Spring Semester 2026

QuestionAnswer
What is miscibility? The ability to mix without separating into two liquids
What is miscibility's rule of thumb? What does this mean? Like dissolves like Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents Non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents
What does it mean when two liquids can't mix without sperating? Immiscibility
What is a solution? A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
What is the majority component of a solution called? Solvent
What is the minority component of a solution called? Solute
What are solute-solute interactions? Attractive forces between the solute particles
What are solute-solvent ineractions? Attractive forces between the solute particles and solvent particles
What happens when the solute and solvent attractions are strong enough? The solute will dissolve, or mix with solvent particles
Dissolve definition Mix with solvent particles
What is a strong electrolyte (definition)? When a solute completely dissociates into ions in water
What are examples of strong electrolytes? Ionic compounds and strong acids Strong bases KBr, NaCl H2SO4 (only the first H is strong, second is weak)
What is a weak electrolyte (definition)? When a solute partially dissociates into ions in water
What are examples of weak electrolytes? Weak acids CH3COOH, HF
What is a non-electrolyte (definition)? When a solute stays intact as a molecule when dissolved in water
What are examples of non-electrolytes? Most compounds of carbon Organic compounds C12H22O11, H2O CH3OH, C2H5OH
Define solublity Describes the maximum concentration that can dissolve (at a temp)
Define saturated A solution that is at the maximum concentration
Define unsaturated Below max concentration
Define supersaturated Above max concentration, dissolved
Define saturated solution. What does this mean? the dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with the excess undissolved solute Additional solute will not dissolve
Define unsaturated solution. What does this mean? A solution containing less than. the equilibrium amount of solute More solute will dissolve
What is the solubility of a solute in a solvent? The maximum amount that can dissolve in a given set of conditions
What happens to an equilibrium when there is a temperature change? The equilibrium shifts; solubility in water increases with increasing temperature Low temp= less dissolves; high temp= more dissolves
Gas solubility Gases generally have lower solubility in water than ionic or polar covalent solids because most are non-polar molecules
What affects gas solubility? Temperature and pressure
How does temperature affect gas solubility? Solubility of the gas in water decreases with rising temepratures
How does pressure affect gas solubility? The higher the partial pressure of a gas above a liquid, the more soluble the gas is in the liquid
What is solubility of a substance? The amount of the substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent
How does temperature affect solubility of solids? How does pressure? Usually increases with increasing temperature No effect when pressure increases
How does temperature affect solubility of gases? How does pressure? Decreases with increasing temperature Increases with increasing pressure
What are the three ways to express the relative amount of a solute in a solution? Molarity Molality Mole Fraction
Molarity equation (M) moles of solution/liters of solution
Molality equation (m) moles of solute/kg of solvent
Mole fraction (X) moles of solute/moles total moles of solute/(mole of solute+moles of solvent)
What do you assume when calculating the relative amount of solute in a solution That the denominator is 1 until more information is found/given
What are colligative properties? Properties that depend on the number of particles dissolved in solution, not on the type of particle
What are the three types of colligative properties? Vapor pressure lowering Freezing point depression Boiling point elevation
What do colligative properties depend on? What is treated differently because of this? The number of dissolved particles Electrolytes and non-electrolytes are treated differently
What is a non-electrolyte? A compound that does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water
What is an electrolyte? A substance that dissociates into ions to conduct electricity when dissolved in water
What is the Van't Hoff Factor? What splits? Van't Hoff Factor is when ionic compounds dissociate Everything splits apart except for polyatomic ions

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
