Solubility Flashcards
(58 cards)
Are compounds labeled insoluble generally somewhat soluble?
yes, not a lot, but a small amount
Are the solubility or sparingly soluble compounds analogous to weak acids/bases?
yes, they react a little, but not a lot
What is solubility?
maximum amount of a solute you can dissolve in a given amount of solvent. Units are typically given as mass/volume
What is molar solubility?
same as solubility, but units are given in moles instead of mass. Units are typically given as moles/volume
What is Ksp?
solubility product
What is the % dissociation, solubility, K value, and what side is favoured?
NaCl (s) → Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)?
100% dissociated
Soluble (dissolves)
K = [Na+][Cl-]/[NaCl]
K >1
Favours reactants
Does K value products or reactants when K is less than 1?
products
What do you measure the concentration of a solid by?
mol/L → g/L
What is the mass/volume for a solid?
density (𝝆)
Is the concentration fixed for solids?
yes
How does the density stay the same when stuff is being lost into solution?
The number is not changing because mass is being lost along with volume
Concentration stays the same
What is the Ksp equation of AgCl (s) –> Ag+ + Cl-
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
What are the factors of Ksp?
Constant at constant temperature, changes with changing temperature
Small Ksp values means less soluble
Larger Ksp values means more soluble
Bi2S3 (s) 2Bi+3 (aq) + 3S-2 (aq)
Ksp = [Bi2+]2[S-2]3
What is Qsp?
[A+][B-] not at equilibrium
What is it when Qsp<Ksp?
More ions can dissolve
No precipitate formed
Proceeding towards products
What is it when Qsp>Ksp?
Too many ions in solution
A precipitate forms
Proceeding towards reactants
What is electrochemistry?
converting chemical energy to electrical energy or vice versa
What are the 2 types of electrochemical cells?
Voltaic (galvanic) cells and electrolytic
What is a voltaic (galvanic) cell?
convert chemical energy to electric energy
Spontaneouss, 𝚫G < 0
What is an electrolytic cell?
convert electric energy to chemical energy
Non-spontaneous, 𝚫G > 0
What is an acid-base reaction?
transferring/sharing 2e- at a time
What is a redox reaction?
transferring 1e- at a time
One species loses electrons and the other gains them
What are the 2 kinds of redox reactions?
oxidation and reduction
What is an oxidation reaction?
losing electrons
