Term
What factors determine the rate at which a substance dissolves?
Definition
the compositions of the solvent and the solute determine whether a substance will dissolve. Stirring(agitation), temperature, and the surface area of the dissolving particles determine how fast the substance will dissolve.
Term
How is solubility usually expressed?
Definition
solubility is often expressed in grams of solute per 100g of solvent.
Term
What conditions determine the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given substance?
Definition
temperature affects the solubility of solid, liquid, and gaseous solutes in a solvent; both termperature and pressure affect the solubility of gaseous solutes.
Term
Saturated solution
Definition
contains the maximum amount of solute for a given quantity of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure.
Term
Solubility
Definition
the amount of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of a solvent at a specified temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution.
Term
Unsaturated solution
Definition
a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.
Term
Miscible
Definition
pairs of liquids that disolve in each other in all proportions.
Term
Immiscible
Definition
liquids that are insoluble in one another.
Term
Supersaturated solution
Definition
contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature.
Term
Henry's law
Definition
states that at a given temperature, the solubility(S) of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure(P) of the gas above the liquid.
Term
How do you calculate the molarity of a solution?
Definition
to calculate the molarity of a solution, divide the moles of solute by the volume of the solution.
Term
What effect does the dilution have on the total moles of solute in solution?
Definition
diluting a solution reduces the number of moles of solute per unit volume, but the total number of moles of solute in solution does not change.
Term
What are two ways to express the percent concentration of a solution?
Definition
the concentration of a solution in percent can be expressed in two ways: as the ratio of the volume of the solute to the volume of the solution or as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution.
Term
Concentration
Definition
is a measure of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent.
Term
Dilute solution
Definition
one that contains a small amount of solute.
Term
Concentrated solution
Definition
contains a large amount of solute.
Term
Molarity (M)
Definition
the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution.
Term
What are three colligative properties of solution?
Definition
three important colligative properties of solution are vapor-pressure lowering, boiling-point elevation, and freezing-point depression.
Term
What factor determines the amount by which a solution's vapor pressure, freezing point, and boiling point differ from those properties of the solvent?
Definition
The decrease in a solution's vapor pressure is proportional to the number of particles the solute makes in solution. the magnitude of the freezing-point depression is proportional to the number of solute particles dissolved in the solvent and does not depend upon their identity. the magnitude of the boiling-poit elevation is proportional to the number of solute particles dissolved in the solvent.
Term
Colligative property
Definition
a property that depends only upon the number of solute particles, and not upon their identity.
Term
Freezing-point depression
Definition
the difference in temperature between the freezing point of a solution and the freezing point of the pure solvent.
Term
Boiling-point elevation
Definition
the difference in temperature between the boiling point of a solution and the noiling point of the pure solvent.
Term
What are two ways of expressing the concentration of a solution?
Definition
the unit molality and mole fractions are two additional ways in which chemists express the concentration of a solution.
Term
How are freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation related to molality?
Definition
the magnitudes of the freezing-point depression(delta Tf) and the boiling-point elevation(delta Tb) of a solution are directly proportional to the molal concentration(m), when the solute is molecular, not ionic.
Term
Molality (m)
Definition
the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kilogram (1000g) of solvent.
Term
Mole fraction
Definition
the ratio of the moles of that solute to the total number of moles of solvent to solute.
Term
Molal freezing-point depression constant (Kf)
Definition
it is equal to the change in freezing point for a 1-molal solution of a nonvolatile molecular solute.
Term
Molal boiling-point elevation constant (Kb)
Definition
it is equal to the change in boiling point for a 1-molal solution of a nonvolatile molecular solute.
