Q

what are four things to note about the equilibrium constant?

A
  1. the coefficient of each species becomes an exponent
  2. solid and pure liquids are NOT included
  3. aqueous solutions are included
  4. if rxn is gaseous, partial pressures are used for concentrations

Q

according to le chateliers, having an endothermic or exothermic does what to the reaction?

A

an exothermic rxn: heat acts as a product (exo)
an endothermic rxn: heat acts as a reactant (endo)

Q

when does a solution form?

A

when a substance dissolves and creates a homogenous solution (dissolution)

17
Q

what is solute?

A

sugar in tea, less amount

18
Q

what is solvent?

A

tea AKA solvation or hydration if solvent is water

19
Q

if solvent is water, the solution is

A

aqueous

20
Q

electrolytes are

A

free ions that have dissociate in solution

21
Q

strong electrolyte? weak electrolyte? nonelectrolyte?

A

strong: dissolves completely
weak: dissolves completely
nonelectrolyte: no dissociation and bonded covalently NOT ionicly

22
Q

a concentrated solution has

A

increased solute

23
Q

a dilute solution has

A

decreased solute

24
Q

a saturated solution has

A

no more solute will dissolve, at eq

25
Q

reversed dissolution is called

A

precipitation

26
Q

what is solubility?

A

amount of solute that will saturate a solvent

27
Q

what are the three phase solubility rules?

A
  1. solubility of solids in liquids increase with increased temp
  2. solubility of gases in liquids decrease with increased temp
  3. solubility of gases in liquids increase with increased pressure
28
Q

what are the three salt solubility rules?

A
  1. all group 1 and ammonium salts are soluble
  2. all nitrate (NH3), perchlorate (ClO4^-), and acetate (CH₃COO) salts are soluble
  3. all silver, lead, and mercury salts are insoluble EXCEPT when they are bonded with nitrate, perchlorate, and acetate.
29
Q

what is solubility constant? ion product?

A

solubility constant: to which something will dissolve at eq (product/reactant) BUT SOLID NOR LIQUIDS ARE INCLUDED
ion product: reaction quotient for solubility

30
Q

Qsp < Ksp

A

more salt can dissolved

31
Q

Qsp > Ksp

A

excess salt will precipitate

32
Q

what is the common ion effect

A

addition of another salt (common ion) will cause the backward reaction to be favored, theres more “product” present

33
Q

adding ligands (lewis bases) will have what effect on solubility?

A

increased solubility

34
Q

standard delta G < 0 is

A

spon favors products Keq > 1

35
Q

standard delta G > 0 is

A

nonspon favors reactants Keq < 1

36
Q

low solubility is equal to

A

smallest Ksp value
