Chapter 5a Flashcards
(17 cards)
Solutions
homogeneous mixture, in contrast to a suspension (cloudy mixture)
dissolution
the act of dissolving
for a solution to be formed what interaction has to be “win”?
solvent-solute
Dilute Solution
has very little solute
Concentrated Solution
has a bunch of solute
Dilution Equation
M1V1= M2V2
(stock molarity)(stock volume)=(new concentration)(final volume)
why is water a unique solvent?
because of its shape and charge - very polar
what does an electrolyte solution do?
conducts currents
Does a non-electrolyte solution conduct currents?
no
Strong electrolytes
dissolve completely in solution
weak electrolytes
partially dissolve, dilute in ion concentration
Acids
molecular compounds that break apart in water to form hydrogen ions around a counter ion (negative)
Acids produce…
electrolyte solutions
complete dissociation
strong acid to strong electrolyte
incomplete disassociation
weak acid to weak electrolyte
Precipitation Reactions
when two aqueous solutions mix, ions can react to form an insoluble problem
Net Ionic Equation
cancel out anything that’s on both sides of the reaction
