Term
dissociation
Definition
separation of ions that occur when an ionic compound dissolves
Term
net ionic equation
Definition
only those compounds and ions that undergo a chemical change in a reaction in an aqueous solution
Term
spectator ions
Definition
ions that do not take part in a chemical reaction and are found in solution both before and after the reaction
Term
Ionization
Definition
ions formed from solute molecules by the action of the solvent in the process
Term
hydronium ion
Definition
the H3O+ ion
Term
strong electrolyte
Definition
any compound whose dilute aqueous solutions conduct electricity well; this is due to the presence of all or almost all of the dissolved compound in the form of ions
Term
weak electrolyte
Definition
any compound whose dilute aqueous solutions conduct electricity poorly; this is due to the presence of a small amount of the dissolved compuond in the form of ions
Term
colligative properties
Definition
properyies that depend on the concentration of solute particles but not on their identity
Term
volatile susbstance
Definition
one that has little tendency to become gas under existing conditions
Term
molal freezing-point constant
Definition
the freezing-point depression of the solvent in a 1-molal solution of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute
Term
freezing-point depression
Definition
difference between the freezing points of the pure solvent and a solution of a nonelectrolyte in that solvent, abd it is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution
Term
molal boiling-point constant
Definition
boiling-point elevation of the solvent ina 1-molal solution of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte soulte
Term
boiling-point elevation
Definition
difference between the boiling points of the pure solvent and a nonelectrolyte solution of the solvent, and it is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution
Term
semipermeable membranes
Definition
allow the movement of some particles while blocking the movementof others
Term
osmosis
Definition
movement of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from the side of lower solute concentration to the side of higher concentration
