Term
what is a solution
Definition
it is a homogenous mixture of two or more compounds in a single phase: liquid, solid and or gas
Term
give an example of a solid solution
Definition
brass: zinc and copper
Term
what is an ideal solution
Definition
solutions made from compounds that have similar properties-for instances: a solution of benzene and toluene-similar size and similar bonding properties
Term
what is an ideally dilute solution
Definition
the solute is completely seperated by the solvent, so  there are no interactions between them
Term

give examples of a colloidal system

 

and 

 

a brief description of it

Definition

aerosal, foam, an emulsion (milk or butter) & sol (paint)

 

so, this is a solution only the solute particles are usually too small to be extracted by filtration

Term
what is coagulation
Definition
heating or introducing a solute into a colloidal system-the larger particles will settle out and then can be filtered out
Term
how are ionic compounds dissolved
Definition
solvation- ionic bonds are dissolved into a polar solvent, so that the cations and anions form bonds with their oppositely charged ends of the polar solvent
Term
what does the compound nitrite look like
Definition
NO2-
Term
what does the compound hypochlorite look like
Definition
ClO-
Term
what is molarity
Definition
moles of the compound divided by the volume of the solution
Term
what is molality
Definition
moles of solute divided by kilograms of solvent
Term
what is mole fraction
Definition
the number of moles of solute divided by the total number of moles in solution
Term
what is mass percentage
Definition
mass of the solute divided by the total mass of the solution times 100
Term
what is parts per million
Definition
mass of solute divided by total mass of solution times 10^6
Term

context: acid-base reaction

 

what does is mean if H2SO4 is called a 2 normal solution

Definition
it means that it can donate 2 protons for each H2SO4
Term
if given the specific gravity (1.006 kg) of a compound, how would you determine how many moles it had within it
Definition
since water weighs 1 kg, subtract that form 1.006 kg and you get about 6 g.  6g/ the molecular weight of the compound to get moles
Term
when determining solubility, what should you look for
Definition

look for very polar functional groups (N,O) something super electronegative

 

second, look for ionic bonding molecules

 

third, look for non polar (least soluble in water)

Term
context: the air we breathe is approximately 21% O and 79%  . if the partial pressure of nitrogen in air is 600 torr, what can you automatically exclude from this question
Definition
partial pressure refers to number of particles not, the mass
Term
at constant pressure, how can you determine the ethalpy of a reaction
Definition
well, since at constant pressure the ethalpy of a reaction is equal to the change in heat-ethalpy can be equal to the  change of heat in step 1: breaking of intermolecular bonds in the solute, change of heat in step 2: breaking of intermolecule bonds in the solvent, and change of heat in step 3: formation of intermolecular bonds between solvent and solute
Term

context: solution formation

 

the first two steps are:

 

the last step is:

Definition
endothermic and the last step is exothermic
Term
a negative heat of solution results in 
Definition
stronger intermolecular bonds and will give off heat
Term
a positive heat of solution results in
Definition
weaker intermolecular bonds
Term
since separate pure substances are more orderly than a solution, the overall entropy of the solution what
Definition
increases
Term
what is vapor pressure
Definition

in an air tight seal, water molecules will break their intermolecular bonds to form water vapors molecules

 

once the molecules leaving the liquid equals the rate of molecules entering the liquid

Term
how can you increase vapor pressure
Definition
increase temperature
Term
when does boiling occur
Definition
when the vapor pressure of a solid equals the atmospheric pressure
Term
what does Raoult's law for non volatile solutes say
Definition
if 97% of the solution is solvent, then the vapor pressure will be 97% of the vapor pressure of a pure solvent
Term
what does Raoult's law for volatile solvents say:
Definition
if 97% of the solution is solvent, then the vapor pressure will be 97% of the vapor pressure of the pure solvent and 3% vapor pressure of pure solute
Term
given a negative heat of solution, what can be said about that mechanisms vapor pressure
Definition
negative heat of solution means stronger intermolecular bonds are formed and vapor pressure is lowered
Term
the solubility product will only change with a change in
Definition
temperature
Term
according to le chatalier's principle, when a common ion effect is added to an already existing ion solution in equilibrium, what will happen
Definition
since there is an added ion, it will push it back to the left and form more precipitate
Term
pressure on liquids and solids has little effect, but pressure on a gas 
Definition
increases its solubility
Term
when the volatile solute concentration is low, each molecule is surrounded by solvent molecules creating deviation from the behavior of
Definition

pure volatile solute

 

thus its vapor partial pressure is not proportional to its pressure as a pure volatile solute

Term
the solubility of salts tends to what with an increase in temeprature
Definition
tends to increase too
Term
the solubility of gases tends to what when temperature is increased
Definition
gases tend to decrease
Term
when a solution is saturated, what does this mean in terms of solute and solvent concentrations
Definition
solute is maximized and solvent is minimized
