CHEMISTRY ONLY (29 cards)
Saturated solution
Solution that cannot be dissolved any more solute at a given temperature.
Unsaturated solution
A solution where most solute can be dissolved in solvent at a given temperature.
Supersaturated solution
A solution that can hold more solute buy increasing the temperature.
Dilute solution
It is the solution in which the amount of solute is rather less compared to the amount of solvent.
Concentrated solution
It is a solution in which amount of solvent is relatively more than given amount of solvent.
Solubility
The amount of solute that dissolves in a solvent from a saturated solution at a particular temperature.
Sparkling soluble
A substance having high solubility such as sodium chloride.
What are the factors affecting solubility?
*size of solute particles
* stirring
* temperature
Few examples of solubility
Potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, calcium sulphate, potassium and sodium bromide chloride and sulphate.
What is Henry’s law?
At a given temperature a gas is dissolved by a fixed volume of liquid directly proportional to the pressure of the liquid.
Crystal and crystalline
It is a homogeneous substance definite geometry cal shape. And it is a process by which crystals are created by cooling a hot saturated solution.
Examples of crystalline
Cubic, prismatic, rhombohedric and few others.
Hydrated substance.
A substance which loses its water of crystallization by taking in dry air.
Water of crystallization
water that is chemically bound to a crystal. It is also known as water of hydration.
Few examples of water of crystallization
Washing soda, epsom salt, potash alum, Globus salt, blue vitriol, green vitriol and white vitriol.
Anhydrous substance
A substance is contains no water and offend applied to crystalline substance when water of crystallization is removed.
Efflorescence
AF phenomena where a compound loses its water of crystallization on exposure to dry air is called the fluorescence. For example washing soda and epsom salt.
Deliquescence
Deliquescence is the process by which a solid substance absorbs moisture from the air until it dissolves into a solution.
Few examples of efflorescence and deliquescence.
Efflorescence: washing soda, Glauber’s salt and epsom salt.
Deliquescence: caustic soda, caustic potash, magnesium, zinc, calcium, ferric chlorides.
Hygroscopy
Certain substance absorb moisture from the atmosphere when they are exposed to it but not enough from solution.
Examples of hygroscopic substances
Anhydrous calcium chloride
Sodium hydroxide
Ferric chloride
Calcium oxide Concentrated sulfuric acid
Silica gel
What are drying agents?
Drawing agents are the substance that can readily absorb moisture from other substances without a chemical change. Few example: zinc chloride, Phosphorus pentoxide, calcium chloride, magnesium sulphate and dry sodium sulphate
Dehydrating agents
Dehydrating agents are substance that can remove event the chemically combined water molecules from the compound.
Hard water
Hardness in water is due to the presence of carbohydrates chloride and sulphate of calcium or magnesium. Water is said to be hard when it does not readily forms lather with soap.
