Chemistry Unit 10
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solution | Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single physical state |
| Solute | Substance being dissolved (less of this) |
| Solvent | Substance doing the dissolving (more of this) |
| Aqueous (aq) | Solutions with water as solvent. Universal solvent because it dissolves so many substances. When water is the solvent the solute particles are hydrated |
| Alloys | Solid solution of 2 or more metals |
| Air | All gas mixtures are homogeneous solutions |
| Gas/Liquid | Soda/pop: CO2 dissolved in water |
| Liquid/Liquid | antifreeze: ethylene glycol in water, gasoline |
| Solid/Liquid | Salt dissolved in water: aqueous |
| Rate of solution | How fast a solute dissolves in solvent |
| Temperature (solids & liquids) | As temp increases, rate of solution increases (dissolves faster). Increased temp= increased KE and motion of molecules |
| Stirring | As stirring increases, rate of dissolving (solution) increases. Brings solute into contact with fresh solvent |
| Particle Size (surface area) | As particle size decreases, rate of dissolving (solution) increases. Brings more of the solute into contact with solvent |
| Solubility | How many grams of a substance can be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure |
| Solids and Liquids | Increasing temperature results in increased solubility. direct relationship |
| Gases | As temp increases the amount of gas to that can be dissolved decreases. inverse relationship |
| Pressure | As pressure increases, solubility of a gas increases. Keep soda bottle closed to maintain pressure and keep gas in solution. Solids and liquids not affected by pressure |
| Nature of the solvent/solute | "like dissolves like". Polar solvent dissolves polar solute |
| Water | Polar; grease = non-polar; soap: polar and non-polar end allows grease removal |
| NaCl | Ionic (ionic substances are the extreme of polarity) so it can be dissolved in water |
| Qualitative | Desprictive observation without numbers; more general; nit a specified amount. |
| Dilute | Only a little solute is dissolved |
| Concentrated | A lot of solute is dissolved |
| Saturated | Contains the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature. No more can be dissolved. On line |
| Unsaturated | Contains less than the max amount of solute at a given temperature. More can be dissolved. Below line |
| Supersaturated | Holds more than the maximum amount at given temp and pressure. Above Line |
| Quantitative | Describes the numerical concentration of a solution |
| Making Dilutions equation | M1 V1 = M2 V2 |
| %Mass | Mass of solute/mass of solution x 100% |
| Parts Per Million | Used when tiny amounts of solute are dissolved in a solvent |
| Colligative Properties | The presence of dissolved particles and the amount of dissolved particles affects some solvent properties: (more solute, greater effect). Boiling point: increases Freezing point: decreases Vapor pressure: decreases (harder to evaporate) |
| Boiling Point Elevation | The presence of a nonvolatile (won't evaporate away) solute always increases the boiling point |
| Freezing Point Depression | The presence of a solute always decreases the freezing point of a solvent |
| Ionic Compounds (metal + nonmetal) | Break apart (dissociate) into for form particles. Electrolytes conduct electricity |
| Covalent Compounds | Do not break apart into particles when dissolved on a solvent. Non electrolytes do not conduct electricity |
| Vapor | When a solid or liquid enters the gas phases through evaporation |
| Vapor pressure | Pressure exerted by particles in the gas phases. The easier it is to evaporate the higher the vapor pressure |
| Normal Boiling Points | A liquid boils when vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure |
| Lower than standard pressure | Liquids boil at a temperature lower than normal. High elevation = lower pressure |
| Higher than standard pressure | Liquids boil at a temperature higher than normal |
