Week 6 Flashcards
Define achelas solutions
Compounds that dissolve in water.
Define dissolution equation
Soluble ionic compound written as solvated ions
What happens to a compound in an achelas reaction?
The cation separates from the anion and the two parts are separated by water.
Define polyatomic ion
A compound like SO4 and CO2 that has a charge.
What can polyatomic anions not do?
Break apart. Most are polyatomic anions, with some polyatomic cation exceptions.
Dissociation
When a cation is separated from an anion the compound reacts with water.
Define solute
the smallest percent in a compound
Define solvent
The largest percent in a compound
Unit of concentration: %(m/m)
percent by mass
Unit of concentration: ppm
parts per million
Unit of concentration: ppb
parts per billion
Unit of concentration: %(v/v)
percent by volume
Unit of concentration: M
molarity
Unit of concentration: X
mole fraction
Unit of concentration: m
molarity
Ratio between solute and solvent/solution
(Solute)/(solvent or solution)
Molarity equation
M = moles of solute (n)/ liters of solution (V)
