Solution
a homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances
-may be composed of gas or liquid
Solvent
majority component
Solute
minority component
Solubility
the amount of the compound (in grams) that dissolved a certain amount of liquid
Saturated Solution
holds the maximum amount of solute under solution conditions
-if additional solute is added to a saturated solution, it will NOT dissolve
Unsaturated Solution
holds LESS than the max amount of solute
-if solute is added, it will dissolve
Supersaturated Solution
holds more than the normal maximum amount of solite
-the solute normally PRECIPITATE from a supersaturated soln
Electrolyte Solution
a soln that contains a solute that dissolves into ions
-ions in electrolyte soln are mobile charged particles and can CONDUCT ELECTRICITY
Nonelectrolyte Solution
a soln that contains molecular solids
Solubility and Temperature
- solubility of GASES in water DECREASES w INCREASING TEMP
Recrystallization
Henry’s Law
the higher the pressure above a liquid, the more soluble the gas is in the liquid
Dilute Solution
soln with small amounts of solute relative to solvent
Concentrated Solution
soln containing large amount of solute relative to solvent
Mass Percent
-method of reporting solution concentration
-number of grams of solute per number of grams of solution (solute + solvent)x100%
mass of solute/(mass of solute+mass of solvent)
Molarity (M)
M= moles of solute/liters of soln
Stock Solutions
concentrated forms of soln for storage
Dilution Equation
M1V1=M2V2
M1 and V1 are the molarity and volume of the initial CONCENTRATED soln
M2 and V2 are the molarity and volume of the final DILATED soln
Freezing Point Depression/
Boiling Point Elevation
soln has a lower melting point and higher boiling point than pure liquid
-depends on the number of solute particles in a solution
Colligative Properties
properties which depends on the number of dissolved solute particles and not on the type of solute particles
Molality (m)
concentration of solution expressed as number of moles of solute per kg of solvent
m=moles solute/kg solvent
Freezing Point Depression
Change in T=mxKf
Kf
freezing point depression constant for the solvent
Kf=1.86(C kg solvent/mol solute)
Boiling Point Elevation
Change in T=mxKb
