Term

Molarity

General equation

Definition

The number of moles of solute in a liter of solution

n = moles

l = liters

Term

  2. solvent (give an example)
Definition
  1. The substance dissolved in another (solvent). Salt is the solute in salt water.
  2. A substance, usually a liquid, into which another substance (solute) is dissolved. Water is the solvent in iced tea.
Term

Solution

give an example

Definition

A liquid, gas. solid phase containing 2 or more components uniformly dispersed

(air, coffee, saltwater)

Term

Calculate the molarity when 5 moles of NaCl is dissolved in 25 liters of water

Definition

M = n/L

 

Molarity = 5/25

= 1/5

= 0.2 M

Term

Term
  1. Acid Anhydride
  2. Basic Anhydride
Definition
  1. Non-metallic oxides which when reacted with water, form acid solutions

examples:

Co2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3

SO3 + H2O ↔ H2SO4

 

2. Metallic oxides which when reacted with water, form basic solutions.

 

examples:

Na2 + H2O ↔ 2NaOH

CaO + H2O ↔ Ca(OH)2

Term

Why is water a good solvent for ionic compounds?

Definition

Due to hydrogen bonding, water is polar. The negative charge on the oxygen attracts a cation and the positive charge on hydrogen an anion

Term
  1. Solubility Curves
  2. How do the temperature and pressure affect the solubility of a solid?
Definition
  1. A curve for a given substance which shows how much dissolves in a given amount of solvent at different temperatures.
  2. Solubility usually increases with increasing temperature. Pressure has little effect
Term
  1. How do temperature and pressure affect the solubility of  a gas?
  2. What 3 factors affect the rate of solubility?
Definition
  1. Solubility usually decreases with increasing temperature. Solubility increases in direct proportion to increase in pressure.
  2. Pulverizing; stirring; heating
Term
What is a general rule for solubilities of polar and nonpolar compounds?
Definition

"Like dissolves like"

Ionic and polar solvents dissolve ionic, polar solutes.

(water dissolves salt)

 

Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

(acetone dissolves gasoline)

Term

  1. nitrates, acetates, chlorates
  2. Na, K, and NH4+ compounds
  3. chlorides
  4. sulfates
Definition
  1. All are soluble
  2. All are soluble
  3. All chlorides are soluble except Ag, Hg, Pb
  4. All sulfates are soluble except Pb, Ba. Sr. Ca
Term

Solubility rules of (in water)

  1. carbonates, phosphates, sulfides, silicates
  2. hydorxides (OH-)
Definition
  1. All insoluble except Na, K, NH4+
  2. All insoluble except Na, K, NH4+, Ca, Ba, Sr
Term
Hydrated Ion
Definition
A dissolved ion which is surronded by water molecules. It is attracted electrostatically to the polar water molecule.
Term
  1. Miscible
  2. Immiscible
Definition
  1. Two liquids which dissolve in each other.

 (example: water and alcohol)

 

2. Two liquids which do not dissolve in each other.

 

(example: oil and vinegar)
