Chemistry - Ch 13 Flashcards
(38 cards)
Hydration
interactions between solute/solvent when the solvent is water
Solvation
Interactions between solute and solvent molecules
Entropy
degree of randomness in the system (AKA disorder); thermodynamic quantity
Hydrates
salt and water combined in definite proportions, like FeCl3 + 6H2O
Water of hydration
water associated with hydrates
Crystallization
opposite of solution process; solute particle reattaches to solid
Saturated
solution in equilibrium with undissolved solute
Solubility
Amount of solute needed to form a saturated solution in a given quantity of solvent
Unsaturated
if less solute is dissolved than is needed to form a saturated solution
Supersaturated
solutions with a greater amount of solute than needed to form a saturated solution
Miscible
pairs of liquids (ex. acetone & water) that mix in all proportions
Immiscible
Pairs of liquids that do not dissolve in one another
Henry’s Law
relationship between pressure and the solubility of a gas; Sg (solubility of gas in solution) = k (Constant) times Pg (partial pressure of the gas over the solution); K is different for each solute-solvent pair
Mass percentage
(Mass of component in solution divided by total mass of solution) x 100%
Parts per million (ppm)
how concentrations of very dilute solution are expressed
Mole fraction
moles of component divided by total moles of all components
Molality (m)
number of moles of solute divided by kilograms of solvent
Colligative properties (“depending on the collection”)
properties that depend on the collective effect of the number of solute particles
Raoult’s Law
partial pressure is exerted by solvent vapor above a solution (P subscript A) = the product of the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution (X subscript A) times the vapor pressure of the pure solvent (P degree subscript A)
Ideal solution
obeys Raoult’s Law
Molal boiling-point-elevation constant
(Kb) a constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the increase in boiling point as a function of solution molality
Molal freezing-point-depression
(Kf) a constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the decrease in freezing point as a function of solution molality
Osmosis
Net movement of solvent is always toward the solution with the higher solute concentration
Osmotic pressure
pressure required to prevent osmosis by pure solvent
