Study Notes
Insoluble Salts of Silver
- All silver salts are insoluble, except for AgNO3 and AgClO4, which are soluble, and AgC2H3O2 and Ag2SO4, which are moderately soluble.
Factors Affecting Solubility
- A solvent can only dissolve a limited quantity of solute at a definite temperature.
- The rate of dissolving solids can be increased by:
- Pulverizing or grinding up the solid to increase the surface area
- Heating the solvent to increase molecular motion
- Stirring vigorously
- Combinations of these methods can accelerate the dissolving process.
Definitions
- Solute: The substance that is dissolved or has gone into solution (typically a solid).
- Solvent: The substance that does the dissolving (typically a liquid, such as water or alcohol).
- Solution: A uniform homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
- Normality (N): A concentration unit defined as the number of equivalents of solute per liter of solution.
- Standard Solution: A very precise solution, usually to 3-4 significant figures, used in quantitative analysis or analytical procedures.
- Supersaturated Solution: A solution that contains more solute than equilibrium conditions allow, which is unstable and may precipitate upon slight agitation or addition of a single crystal.
Preparation of Solutions
- To prepare a standard solution, add solid to acid solution, stir, then add to water, and dilute to 1 L.
- To prepare a saturated solution, add solute to water until it no longer dissolves, then stir for 1 hour and filter.
Labeling and Safety
- Always label chemicals clearly and permanently with:
- Identity of contents
- Concentration
- Date of preparation (if applicable)
- Hazard alert (if applicable)
- Your name
