|
|
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? |
|

|
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 |
