Question
Answer
Solution   a homogeneous mixture  
🗑
Solute   the substance being dissolved; the substance of which there is less  
🗑
Solvent   the substance that is doing the dissolving; the substance of which there is more  
🗑
Colloid   a mixture of medium-size particles that do not settle out; the particles can scatter a light beam  
🗑
Suspension   a heterogeneous mixture of large particles that will settle out if not stirred  
🗑
Tyndall Effect   the observed scattering of light when shone through a colloid  
🗑
How to tell the difference between a solution and a colloid   use the Tyndall Effect  
🗑
How to tell the difference between a colloid and a suspension   filter them; the particles in a colloid will go through the filter paper; the particles in a suspension will be captured  
🗑
Miscible   two liquids that can be mixed in any proportion, example: alcohol and water  
🗑
Immiscible   two liquids that cannot be mixed in any proportion; example: oil and water  
🗑
Like Dissolves Like   substances with the same polarity are soluble in each other; water is a polar solvent, CCl4 is a nonpolar solvent; alcohols can dissolve in both; ionic substances are treated like polar substances  
🗑
Polar Molecule   a molecule with a dipole (positive and negative difference)  
🗑
Polarity of Water   water is polar  
🗑
Solubility   measures the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature  
🗑
Solubility of a solid   solubility increases as temperature increases; pressure does not affect a solid’s solubility  
🗑
Solubility of a gas   solubility decreases as temperature decreases; an increase in pressure can increase a gas’s solubility  
🗑
Soluble   can be dissolved  
🗑
Unsaturated solution   more solute can be dissolved  
🗑
Saturated solution   the maximum amount of solute is dissolved  
🗑
Supersaturated solution   more than the maximum amount of solute is dissolved  
🗑
Solubility curve   a graph that plots the saturated solutions at a given temperature; grams per 100g of water  
🗑
Homogeneous mixture   mixture with no visible differences  
🗑
Heterogeneous mixture   mixture with visible differences  
🗑
Dissolution   the process of being dissolved  
🗑
Three ways to increase the rate of dissolution of a solid   heat, agitate(stir or shake), crush the solute  
🗑
Why does heating increase the rate of dissolution   heat with increase the kinetic energy of the solvent particles; the more energy particles hit the solute harder and more often thus breaking it apart faster  
🗑
Why does crushing increase the rate of dissolution   crushing a substance increases the surface area which is where the dissolving is going on  
🗑
Why does stirring increase the rate of dissolution   it brings fresh solvent in contact with the solute’s surface  
🗑
Dissociation/Ionization Equations   equation that shows how a solid breaks apart into ions when dissolved in water; example: KOH  K+ + OH-  
🗑
Net Ionic Equation   an equation that shows the ions that form the precipitate in a double-replacement reaction; example: Pb2+(aq) + S2-(aq)  PbSO4(s)  
🗑
Electrolyte   a solution of ions that can conduct an electric current  
🗑
Nonelectrolyte   a solution with no ions; it cannot conduct an electric current  
🗑
Strong electrolyte   a substance that dissociates 100%; it can conduct a strong electric current  
🗑
Weak electrolyte   a substance that does not dissociate 100%; it can conduct a weak electric current  
🗑
Properties of Acids   electrolyte, taste sour, turn litmus paper red, react with metals to form hydrogen gas, react with bases to form a salt and water  
🗑
Properties of Bases   electrolyte, taste bitter, turn litmus paper blue, feel slippery, react with acids to form a salt and water  
🗑
Arrhenius Acid   a substance that increases the hydrogen ion concentration; must contain H  
🗑
Arrhenius Base   a substance that increases the hydroxide ion concentration; must contain OH  
🗑
Bronsted-Lowery Acid   a substance that can donate a proton; must contain H  
🗑
Bronsted-Lowery Base   a substance that can accept a proton; includes OH or a negative charge  
🗑
Proton   a hydrogen ion  
🗑
[H+]   hydrogen ion concentration  
🗑
[OH-]   hydroxide ion concentration  
🗑
Hydronium ion   H3O+  
🗑
Self-ionization of water   H2O + H2O  OH- + H3O+  
🗑
Conjugate pair   two substances that differ by one hydrogen; the substance with more hydrogens is the conjugate acid and the other is the conjugate base  
🗑
NH4+ and NH3   NH4+ is an acid; NH3 is a base  
🗑
Amphoteric substance   a substance that can act as an acid or a base (according to Bronsted-Lowery); usually has hydrogen and a negative charge; water is amphoteric;  
🗑
Concentration   measures the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent  
🗑
Weak/Strong Concentration   weak concentrations are dilute solutions; strong concentrations are concentrated solutions  
🗑
Strong Acid/Base   an acid or base that dissociates completely; it’s a strong electrolyte; this is not related to being a strong concentration; strength is measured with an ionization constant (Ka); larger numbers (smaller exponents) are stronger acids  
🗑
Weak Acid/Base   an acid or base that does not dissociate completely; it’s a weak electrolyte; this is not related to being a weak concentration; strength is measured with an ionization constant (Kb); larger numbers (smaller exponents) are weaker acids  
🗑
Ionization constant   K; measures the degree to which a substance dissociates; larger numbers (small exponents) dissociate more  
🗑
Polyprotic acid   an acid with more than one hydrogen; example: H2CO3  
🗑
Molarity   moles per liter; measures concentration  
🗑
Molarity by Dilution   M1V1=M2V2  
🗑
pH   equation is –log[H+]; used to determine if a substance is an acid, base or neutral  
🗑
pOH   equation is –log[OH-]  
🗑
pH scale   acids have a pH less than 7; bases have a pH greater than 7; neutral is 7; scale ranges from 0 to 14  
🗑
pH+pOH   pH + pOH  
🗑
How to find concentration given pH   the molarity equals 10 raised to the –pH  
🗑
Sig figs for pH   the number of sig figs in the concentration equals the number of decimal places in the pH  
🗑

🗑
weak bases will have ___ conjugate acids   strong  
🗑
