solutions
a homogeneous mixture in which the components are uniformly interminged
Properties of Water
Triatomic molecule
Contains covalent bonds
Polar molecule
Hydrogen Bonds
intermolecular attractions between water molecules
affects surface tension and vapor pressure
*strongest molecular force
surface tension
inward force that minimizes the area of a liquid
Water molecules at the surface cannot hydrogen bond with air therefore turns inward to form a skin
Surfactant
Interferes with hydrogen bonding therefore reduce surface tension
- causes water molecules to collapse
ex: soaps/detergents
Vapor pressure
pressure of the gas acting above the liquid in a sealed container
Water has low vapor pressure due to hydrogen bonds
solid state of water
density decreases as water change to a solid
Honeycomb
solvent
the substance present in the largest amount in a solution
*substance that does the dissolving
solute
the other substance(s) in a solution
*substance that is dissolved
solvations
positive and negative ions of an ionic solid become surrounded by solvent molecules
polar solvents dissolve..
polar molecules and ionic compounds
Nonpolar solvents dissolve..
nonpolar solutes
Electrolytes
Substances that break up in water to produce ions
These ions can conduct electric currents
Suspensions
large particle size ( > 1000nm) particles will settle out
will not stay suspended indefinitely
Colloids
smaller particle size than suspensions but larger then solutions (1nm to 1000nm)
Solutions (homogeneous mixture) size
small particle size
Emulsion
Colloidal dispersion of a liquid in a liquid
Ex: egg yolk
solubility
the amount of a substance that dissolves in 100g of water at a given temperature to produce a saturated solution
“Like dissolved like”
polar molecules dissolve polar molecules
nonpolar molecules dissolve nonpolar molecules
saturated
when a solution contains the maximum amount of solute
unsaturated
when a solvent can dissolve more solute
supersaturated
when the solution contains more solute than a saturated solute will hold at that temperature
concentrated
when a relatively large amount of solute is dissolved
dilute
when a relatively small amount of solute is dissolved
