I. How Solutions Form Definitions Types of Solutions Dissolving Rate of Dissolving

A. DefinitionsA. Definitions

Solution – Solution – a mixture that has the same a mixture that has the same composition throughout the mixture; a composition throughout the mixture; a homogeneous mixturehomogeneous mixture

Solvent Solvent – what the solute is dissolved in (in greater quantity)

Solute Solute - substance being dissolved (in lesser quantity)

A. DefinitionsA. Definitions

Solute Solute - KMnO4 Solvent Solvent - H2O

Remember the difference between a a mixture and a compound.

o Compounds have the same (fixed) composition throughout.

o Mixtures can have a variable (different) composition throughout.

A. Definitions

Solubility – The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature.

B. Types of SolutionsB. Types of Solutions

Saturated solutions – maximum amount of solute at a given temperature.

Unsaturated solutions – less than the max. amount of solute at a given temperature.

Supersaturated solutions – more than the max amount of solute at a given temperature; unstable

I. Intro to Acids & Bases Definitions Properties Uses

A. AcidsA. Acids

• Contain at least one hydrogen atom that can be removed when the acid is dissolved in water.

• These form hydronium ions, H3O+.

II. Strength of Acids & Bases Strength vs. ConcentrationStrong vs. Weak pH

A. Strength vs. ConcentrationA. Strength vs. Concentration

Strong and weak – tells how easy the acid or base dissociates in solution.

Concentration – The amount of acid or base in a solution.

It is possible to have a dilute concentration of a strong acid that would be less harmful than a concentrated weak acid.

A. Strength of Acids & BasesA. Strength of Acids & Bases

The strength of an acid or base depends on how completely a compound separates into ions when dissolved in water.

Ions can carry an electric charge so a strong acid will carry more electricity than weak acid.

B. Strong vs. WeakB. Strong vs. Weak

Strong Acid/BaseStrong Acid/Base• 100% ions in water• strong electrolyte• HCl, HNO3, NaOH, LiOH

Weak Acid/BaseWeak Acid/Base• few ions in water• weak electrolyte• HC2H3O2, NH3
