Unit 3: Outcome 1 Flashcards
Solute
a substance that is
dissolved
Solvent
the medium in which a
solute is dissolved
what is an example of a solute
sugar,salt
what is an example of a solvent
water
What does aqueous mean
dissolved in water
Aqueous solutions can be classified as what
electrolytes or non electrolytes
Dissociation
the separation of an ionic compound into its ions when in water
What is an example of a chemical reaction that shows Dissociation?
Salt water, Sodium Sulfate and water, Barium Sulfate in water
Ionization
– process by which a molecule is converted into an ion or ions
Are Acids molecular or ionic compounds?
Acids are molecular compounds that, when placed in water, ionize to form a hydrogen ion (H+) and a
negative ion (X-) Ionization equations show the formation of ions from a compound that is not made up of ions
What’s an example of ionization
HCl(g) in water
When A bond breaks what happens to the energy?
When bonds break, energy must be absorbed from the
surroundings in order to separate atoms that are held together
What kind of reaction is the breakage of bonds
Endothermic
When bonds form, energy is released into the surroundings, what happens to the surroundings
The surroundings heat up
When bonds break, energy must be absorbed from the
surroundings
The surroundings cool down
What kind of reaction is the formation of bonds
Exothermic
Energy involved in creating a solution
1.Bonds break within the substance dissociated or ionized
2.Energy ireleased when bonds between water molecules and the separated ion form
Concentration
the ratio of the quantity of the solute to the quantity of the solution.
concentration = quantity of solute/quantity of solution
Dilute solution
relatively small quantity of solute when compared to the volume of solution
Concentrated solution
relatively large quantity of solute when compared to the volume of solution
How can concentration be expressed
Percentage by volume (%V/V)
Percentage weight by volume (%W/V)
Percentage weight by weight (%W/W)
Parts per million concentration (PPM)
Amount concentration (molarity)
When do we use PPM
We use ppm to
report these very small concentrations.
e.g:For example 11 ppm of chlorine in pool water means there is 11 mg of
chlorine in every liter of pool water.
Amount Concentration
the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution.
Amount
the number of moles of a substance
Does not refer to mass or volume of a substance
