insoluble - concentrations
will be very small
equilibrium positioned on left hand side
solubility product
is the equilbrium constant of a ionic compound
lower the solubility constant
less soluble the salt
ksp < 10^-5
low solubility
dissolution
when a solid compound is embedded is embedded in a matrix of solvent
dissociation
when an electrolyte is disassembled to form individual ions
solubility
m (solute) / v (solution)
molar solubility
Nsat(solute)/ V (solution)
solubility
the amount of solute that is required to yield a saturated solution
molar solubility in Ksp
can be used assuming that all the salt dissociates
ionic product
Qsp
calculate the same way as Ksp
values of molar concentrations used are the actual concentrations given
Qsp > Ksp
a precipitate is formed
Qsp < Ksp
no precipitate is formed
common ion effect
any ionic salt is less soluble in the presence of a common ion
solution
homogenous mixture of two or more pure substances
solvent
liquid of a liquid solution
solute
dissolved substance in liquid solution
dissolution
process of dissolving a solute in a solvent to give a homogenous solution
saturated solution
solution in which no more solute will dissolve
gas mixing
mixes completely with other gases
mix spontaneously
alpha mix of G
the mixing process constant
negative
two gases mix
enthalpy change is small
intermolecular forces are tiny and gas molecules are far apart
mixing gases
large increase in entropy so there is negative delta mix G
gas mixing process
spontaneous
entropy driven
