solution
Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
Aqueous solution
A solution in which water is the solvent
solvent
The substance that does the dissolving
solute
The substance that is dissolved
concentration
ratio of solute to solution or solvent
concentrated solution
Solution with large quantity of solute in solvent
dilute solution
solution with small quantity of solute in solvent
saturated solution
no more solute can dissolve
supersaturated solution
More than maximum amount of solute is present, if one more crystal is added, the solute will precipitate out
unsaturated solution
A solution that is not yet saturated
solubility
The amount of solute which will be dissolved in a given volume of solvent at a specific temperature
insoluble
Solubility less than 0.1 g in 100 mL
Slightly soluble
Solubility between 0.1 g and 1 g in 100 mL
soluble
Solubility is 1 g or greater in 100 mL
dissociation
processed by which compounds separate into smaller molecules when in water
ex. CaCl2 —> Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl - (aq)
ionization
The formation of ions from polar covalent compounds when placed in water
miscible
substances able to combine with each other in any proportion
immiscible
substance is not able to combine with each other
why water is the universal solvent
1) polarity
2) hydrogen bonding (water molecule is bent)
3) small molecule
generalization of solubility
solids -high solubility at high temps
gases- high solubility at low temps
liquids- cannot generalize
factors that affect solubility
1) increase surface area (large solids are harder to dissolve)
2) agitation (stir the solution)
3) increase temperature of solution
how do you solve for solubility
g/mL = g/mL
then cross multiply
solving for concentration
c = n/v
*volume must be in litres
1) find MM of solution
2) find moles using n= m/MM
3) find c
how else can you represent concentration
square brackets
