Term
Solution
Definition
Homogeneous mixture of two or more compounds in a single phase.
Term
Solvent
Definition
Compound which there is more of in a solution
Term
Solute
Definition
Compound which there is less of in a solution.
Term
Ideal Solutions
Definition
Solutions made of compounds with similar properties.
Term
Ideally dilute solutions
Definition

Solute molecules are completely separated by solvent molecules so that they no interaction with one another.

Mole fraction is about one.

Term
Nonideal Solution
Definition
Violates properties of both ideal and ideally dilute solutions.
Term
Colloids
Definition

Solutions that form with different solvent/solute sizes.

Tyndall Effect: scattering of light through a colloid.

Seperation by coagulation of dialysis (semipermeable membrane).

Term
Ionic compounds are dissolved by...
Definition
Polar solvents
Term
Solvation
Definition
When ionic compounds are dissolved by polar substances and break apart into their respective cations and anions and they are surrounded by oppositely charged ends of the polar solvent.
Term
Hydration
Definition
The process when several water molecules attach to one side of an ionic compound and are able to overcome the strong ionic bond to break the compound apart.
Term
Aqueous Phase
Definition
Something that has been hydrated.
Term
Electrolytes
Definition
Compounds that form ions in aqueous solutions.
Term
Nitrite

Sulfate
Definition

SO42-

Term
hypochlorite
Definition

ClO-

Term
chlorite

 ClO2-
Term
chlorate
Definition

ClO3-

Term
perchlorate

Term
Molarity, M
Definition
m=moles of solute/volume of solution
Term
Molality, m
Definition
m= moles solute/kg solvent
Term
Mole Fraction, X
Definition
X = moles of solute/total moles of all solutes and solvents
Term
mass %
Definition
mass solute/total mass solution x 100%
Term
Parts per million
Definition
ppm=(mass of solute/total mass solution) x 106
Term
Heat of Solution
Definition

Heat given off when bonds are formed.

Negative HoS gives off heat.

Solution formation has positive entropy.

Term
Vapor Pressure
Definition

The pressure created by molecules in an open space.

Increases with temperature.

Term
Nonvolatile Solute
Definition
a solute with no vapor pressure.
Term

Rault's Law

Vapor Pressure

Definition
PV=XaPa
Term
Volatile Solute
Definition
a solute with vapor pressure.
Term
Solubility
Definition
Solutes tendancy to dissolve in a solvent.
Term
Precipitation
Definition
Solute falling out of solution.
Term
Saturation
Definition
When the rate of dissolution and precipitation are equal.
Term
Solubility product, Ksp
Definition

The equilibrium constant of a solvation reaction.

Solids and pure liquids are left out.

Ex:

Ba(OH)2(s) ↔Ba2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

Ksp=[Ba2+][F-]2

Lowest Ksp is least soluble, first to precipitate.

Term
Common Ion Effect
Definition
Disturbance in the equilibrium because of a common ion in the equilibrium expression.
