Term
solute definition
Definition

the substance being DISSOLVED in the solution 

(aka the sugar in a sugar-water solution)

Term
solvent def
Definition

the substance that is doing the dissolving

(aka the WATER in a sugar-water situation)

Term
Solute vs Solvent:  If the solvent &solute are in different phases, Who remains in the same phase after mixing?
Definition
the solvent
Term
Solute vs Solvent:  If the solvent &solute are in same phases, Who remains in the greater magnitude after mixing?
Definition
the solvent
Term

solvation

1. aka

 

2.def


Definition

1. dissolution

2.is the electrostatic interaction btwn the solute & solvent molecules

Term

when the new interactions are stronger than the original ones, solvation is

1.( exothermic/endothermic)

2. process is favored at (high/low temps)

Definition

1. exothermic

2. low temp

 

 

* remember exothermic releases heat and does not need heat

Term

when the new interactions are weaker than the original ones, solvation is

1.( exothermic/endothermic)

2. process is favored at (high/low temps)

Definition

1.endothermic

2. high temps

Term
an ideal solution has an enthaply (H) of dissolution equal to (#)?
Definition
zero
Term
why are solid ionic compounds bad conductors of electricity?
Definition
their charged particles are rigidly set in place by the lattice arrangment that allows the compond to be in fact a solid.
Term
why are aqueous ionic compounds good conductors of electricity?
Definition
their lattice formation is disturbed by the ion-dipole interactions btwn the ion components and the water molecules
Term
what is raoult's law
Definition

ideal behavior in a solution occurs when solute-solute

solvent-solvent

solvent-solute

interactions are VERY SIMILAR.

 

(aka the compounds in the solution do not repel each other)

Term

osomosis of water:

water moves toward the _____

Definition
solute
Term
the entropy change  that occurs when a solution is formed has a postive or negative value?
Definition

a negative value

 

entrophy is decreased bc the ordering of the molecules is increased.

Term
what factors causes the entropy change  that occurs when a solution is formed has  to a MORE negative value?
Definition

higher charge denisty

(aka 2+ vs -1)

(or if comparing identical charges: the smaller size)

Term
what is the effect on the vapor pressure when two components that are against Raoult's Law combine?
Definition

vapor pressure increases,

they are having stronger

solute-solute

solvent-solvent interactions

than solute-solvent interactions

=

they are repelling, and want to evaporate
