Chapter G: Solutions Flashcards
(53 cards)
- may be a liquid, gas, or solid.
- are spread evenly throughout the solution
- mix with solvents so the solute and solvent have the same physical state.
- cannot be separated by filtration, but they can be separated by evaporation.
- are not visible, but they can give a color to the solution
Solutes
Solutes cannot be separated by ____, but they can separated by ____.
- Filtration
- Evaporation
- is one of the most common solvents in nature.
- is a polar molecule due to polar O–H bonds.
- molecules form hydrogen bonds important in many biological compounds.
Water
How does solutions form?
When solute-solvent interactions are lare enough to overcome solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions
Solute: Polar
Solvent: polar
Solute: non polar
Solvent: nonpolar
play an important role in maintaining the proper function of the cells and organs.
Electrolytes
Examples of Electrolytes
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate
dissociate 100% in water, producing positive and negative ions
Strong electrolytes
form solutions that conduct an electric current strong enough to light a bulb.
Strong electrolytes
dissociates only slightly in water.
Weak electrolyte
forms a solution with a few ions and mostly undissociated molecules
Weak electrolyte
- dissolve as molecules in water.
- do not produce ions in water.
- do not conduct an
electric current
Nonelectrolytes
Examples of Strong electrolyte
Ionic compounds such as;
- NaCl, KBr, MgCl2, Nano3-
Bases such as:
- NaOh, KOH
Acids such as:
- HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4 H2SO4
Examples of Weak electrolyte
HF, H2O, NH3, acetic acid
Examples of Nonelectrolytes
Carbon compounds such as Methanol, Ethanol, Sucrose, Urea
