Term
are solutions are heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Definition
homogeneous
Term
what states can solutions be in
Definition
any
Term
what happens if a solution is stirred?
Definition
it dissolves more quickly
Term
does stirring effect how much solute dissolves?
Definition
no, just the rate at which it dissolves
Term
why does a solute dissolve more quickly when stirred?
Definition
the solute and solvent particles are constantly coming into contact
Term
what happens if a solute is heated?
Definition
it dissolves more quickly?
Term
why does a heated solution dissolve more quickly?
Definition
kinetic energy is higher and collisions occur more
Term
what size particles dissolve faster?
Definition
small particles
Term
why do smaller particles dissolve faster?
Definition
the surface area to volume ratio is higher
Term
what happens during a dynamic state of equilibrium in a solution
Definition
particles can dissolve and become part of the solute solid again, there is not net change
Term
what will change a solution in a state of dynamic equilibrium?
Definition
a change in temperature
Term
a solution containing the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure; equilibrium exists between undissolved solute and ions in solution
Definition
saturated solution
Term
the amount of a substance that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at specified conditions of temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution
Definition
solubility
Term
what are the two main ways solubility is expresses?
Definition
grams solute per 100 grams of solvent or grams of solute per liters of solvent
Term
a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure
Definition
unsaturated solution
Term
what happens when additional solute is added to an unsaturated solution?
Definition
the solute will dissolve til the solution is saturated
Term
describes liquids that dissolve in one another in all proportions
Definition
miscible
Term
if two miscible liquids are in a solution which is the solvent
Definition
the one present in a larger amount
Term
what are two examples of miscible solutions? (2 liquids)
Definition
water and ethanol/ water and ethylene glycol
Term
can liquids be partially miscible?
Definition
yes
Term
what is an example of a partially miscible solution (2 liquids)
Definition
water and diethyl ether
Term
describes liquids that are insoluble in one another
Definition
immiscible
Term
what is an ecxample of two liquids that are immiscible in each other?
Definition
oil and vinegar (or water)
Term
temperature effects the solubility of what states?
Definition
all states
Term
pressure effects the solubility of what state?
Definition
gas
Term
how is the solubility of most solid substances effected by heat?
Definition
it increases
Term
can the solubility of some solid substances decrease with heat?
Definition
yes
Term
what is the effect of temperature on gases in liquid solvents?
Definition
the opposite of most solids; as the temperature increases, the solubility decreases
Term
what is thermal pollution?
Definition
industries using lake water to cool stuff and then dumping the heated water back into the lake
Term
what does thermal pollution cause?
Definition
a rise in the temperature of the entire lake, which lowers the concentration of dissolved oxygen (gas) in the lake
Term
what does a lower concentration of oygen in a lake effect?
Definition
the aquatic animal and plant life
Term
a solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature; excess solute precipitates if a seed crystal is added
Definition
supersaturated solution
Term
can crystallization in a supersaturated solution occur without a seed crystal?
Definition
yes, sometimes a crack on the inside of the container can cause crystallization
Term
as the pressure of the gas above the liquid of a solution increases...
Definition
the solubility of the gas increases
Term
at a given temperature the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid
Definition
henry's law
Term
henry's law equation
Definition
S1/P1 = S2/P2
