Study Notes
Solubility Concepts
- Solubility is defined as the grams of solute per 100g of solvent.
- The dissolving rate of loose sugar is faster due to having more surface area compared to sugar cubes.
- Stirring iced tea helps sugar dissolve more quickly.
- Heating increases the solubility of a solid solute in a solvent.
- Water's polar nature allows it to dissolve charged particles.
Solution Types
- An unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.
- Cooling a supersaturated solution causes the solute to separate from the solvent.
- In any solution, the substance being dissolved is referred to as the solute.
- A nonelectrolyte does not conduct electricity in solution.
Factors Affecting Dissolution
- Increasing the surface area of a solid solute accelerates the dissolving process.
- Gases dissolve faster in liquids when the liquid is cooled.
- A concentrated solution contains a large amount of solute relative to the solvent.
Polar and Non-Polar Characteristics
- Polar molecules have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other.
- Water is called the universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve many substances.
Solutions and Saturation
- A supersaturated solution is unstable and can contain more solute than a saturated solution, which contains the maximum solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.
- Soap's effectiveness comes from its dual nature: a negatively charged end that dissolves in water and a neutral end that dissolves in oil.
Acids and Bases
- Acids produce hydrogen ions (H₃O⁺) in water, leading to conductivity.
- A solution with a pH of about 7 is considered mildly acidic, with values below indicating stronger acidity.
- Strong acids and bases fully ionize in solutions, while weak ones do not.
pH and Indicators
- pH measures the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution; lower pH indicates higher acidity.
- Bitter taste and a slippery feel are characteristics of basic solutions.
- Indicators change color based on the acidity or basicity of the solution.
Neutralization Reactions
- Neutralization reactions produce water and salt as hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions react.
- Salts are ionic compounds formed from acid-base reactions.
Safety and Common Acids/Bases
- Common acids like acetic acid in vinegar and phosphoric acid in soft drinks are not harmful in small doses.
- Aluminum hydroxide is a safe base used in deodorants.
Distinguishing Acids and Bases
- An acid is defined as a substance producing hydrogen ions, while a base produces hydroxide ions in water.
- Strength refers to ionization completeness, while concentration is the amount dissolved.
pH Identification
- A pH of 2 designates a strong acid, 5 a weak acid, 8 a weak base, and 11 a strong base.
