    Flashcards

    Favorable solution formation

    A favorable process in solution formation involves a release of heat (exothermic) and an increase in disorder (increasing entropy).

    Exothermic process in solution formation

    The formation of attractions between solute and solvent molecules is always a process that releases energy.

    Endothermic solution formation

    A solution can still form even with energy input (endothermic) if there is a significant increase in disorder (large positive entropy change).

    Solubility: 'like dissolves like' principle

    The main factor determining if a solute dissolves in a solvent is the similarity in their intermolecular forces. This is known as the 'like dissolves like' principle.

    Oil and water don't mix

    Oil, being nonpolar, cannot form strong interactions with water, which is polar. This prevents mixing.

    Dynamic equilibrium in solution

    Dynamic equilibrium in solution formation means there's a constant balance between solute dissolving and crystallizing out of the solution.

    Solubility product constant (Ksp)

    The solubility product constant (Ksp) represents the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of an ionic solid in water. It indicates how much of the solute dissolves in solution.

    High Ksp value

    A high Ksp value indicates a high solubility of the ionic compound in water - more of it dissolves.

    Pressure & gas solubility

    Pressure increases the solubility of gases in liquids. More gas molecules are forced into the solution under higher pressure.

    Temperature & solid solubility

    Increasing temperature usually increases the solubility of solids because it provides more energy for breaking intermolecular forces.

    Temperature & gas solubility

    Gases become less soluble at higher temperatures because the gas molecules gain kinetic energy and escape the liquid more easily.

    Catalyst & solubility

    The presence of a catalyst does not affect solubility. Catalysts only speed up the rate of a reaction, not the amount of substance dissolved.

    Adding a common ion to a saturated solution

    Adding a common ion (same type of ion) to a saturated solution decreases solubility because it shifts the equilibrium to favor precipitation.

    Ionic compounds dissolve in water

    Ionic compounds dissolve in water primarily due to ion-dipole interactions. Water's polarity attracts the charged ions, breaking the ionic lattice.

    Freezing point depression is a colligative property, meaning it's affected by the number of solute particles dissolved.

    Boiling point elevation

    Increasing solute concentration raises the boiling point of a solution. This is because the solute particles interfere with the vapor pressure of the solvent.

    Solute particles & freezing point

    Increasing the number of solute particles lowers the freezing point of the solution. This is because the solute particles disrupt the formation of the solvent's solid structure.
