Term
What is a solution?
Definition
A homogenous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase.
Term
What is a suspension?
Definition
Occurs when the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated.
Term
What is a colloid?
Definition
Particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions from mixtures known as colloidal dispersions
Term
What is the Tyndall Effect?
Definition
Occurs when light is scattered by colloidial particles dispersed in a transparent medium. Used to distunguish between a solution and a colloid.
Term
What is an electrolyte?
Definition
A substance that dissovles in water to give a solution that conducts electric current and decreases its dielectric constant.
Term
What types of substances are electrolytes?
Definition
Includes nonmetal-metal, ionic substances and highly polar molecules
Term
What is an dielectric constant?
Definition
The permitivity of free space pertaining to certain particles
Term
What is a non-electrolyte?
Definition
A substance that dissolves in water and does not increase the conductivity and can increase the dielectric constant.
Term
What factors affect the rate of dissolution?
Definition
Increasing the surface area of the solute, agitating a solution, heating a solvent.
Term
What is a solution equilibrium?
Definition
The physical state in which thew opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates.
Term
What does miscibilty refer to?
Definition
Refers to the solubility of liquids into one another.
Term
What is the effect of an increase in pressure of the solubility of a gas?
Definition
Increases a gas's solubility in liquids.
Term
What is Henry's Law?
Definition
The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid.
Term
What is the effect of an increase in temperature on gas solubility?
Definition
Results in a decrease in gas's solubility due to an increase in kinectic energy keeping attraction from occurring
Term
What is effect of an increase in temperature on a liquid's solubility?
Definition
Results in an incresase in the solubility of solids
Term
What is enthalpy of solution?
Definition
The net amount of energy absorbed a s heat by the solution when a specific a amount of solute dissolves in a solvent.
Term
What is concentration?
Definition
A solution is a measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.
Term
What is molarity?
Definition
The number of moles of solute in one liter of solution.
Term
What is molality?
Definition
The concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Term
What is dissociation?
Definition
The separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves.
Term
What is a net ionic equation?
Definition
A equation that includes only thos compounds and ions that undergo a chemical change ( form a precipitate) in a reaction in an aqueous solution.
Term
What are spectator ions?
Definition
Ions that do not take part in a chemical reaction and are found in solution both before and after reaction.
Term
What is a complete ionic equation?
Definition
An equation that made up of a net ionic equation including spectator ions.
Term
What is ionization?
Definition
Ions are formed from solute molecules by the action of the solvent in a process.
Term
What is a hydronium ion?
Definition
Consists of 3 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen, created when hydrogen chloride is dissolved into water.
Term
What is a strong electrolyte? Example?
Definition
Any compound whose dilute aqueous solutions conduct electricity well; this is due to the presence of all or almost all of the dissolved compound in the form of ions. Includes hydrogen will all halogens except fluorine.
Term
What is a weak electrolyte?
Definition
Any compound whose dilute aqueous solutions conduct electricity poorly; this is due to the presence of a small amount of the dissolved compound in the form of ions.
Term
What is a colligative property?
Definition
A property that depends on the concentration of solute parties but not on their identity.
Term
What are the four colligative properties?
Definition
Vapor-pressure lowering, freezing-point depression, boiling-point elevation, and osmotic pressure
Term
What is a nonvolatile substance?
Definition
A substance that has little tendency to become a gas under existing conditions.
Term
What characterizes vapor-pressure lowering?
Definition
As the number of solute particles increases in a given volume of solution, the proportion of solvent molecules decreases, allowing less water to escape, which decreases vapor pressure
Term
How are molality and concentration related?
Definition
Same molality = same concentration
Term
What is a molal freezing-point constant?
Definition
Refers to the freezing-point depression of the solvent in a 1-molality solution of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolye solute.
Term
What is the freezing-point depression?
Definition
The difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and a solution of a non-electrolyte in that solvent,and it is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution.
Term
What is the molal boiling-point constant?
Definition
The boiling-point elevation of the solvent in a 1-molal solution of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolye solute.
Term
What is the boling-point elevation?
Definition
The difference between the boiling points of the pure solvent and a nonelectrolyte solution of that solvent, directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution.
Term
What is osmotic pressure?
Definition
The external pressure that must be applied to stop osmosis.
Term
What is the relationship between electrolytes and colligative properties?
Definition
Electroyles increase the intensity of colligative properties by a factor of the number of ionizable parts in the electrolytes
Term
What is the Van Hoff factor?
Definition
Factor proportional to the total molality of all dissolved particles.
