Study Notes

Nonelectrolytes

  • Substances that fail to form ions when dissolved in water.
  • Do not conduct electric current in aqueous solutions.
  • Examples include distilled water, glycerin, urea, and sucrose.

Electrolytes

  • Substances that generate ions when dissolved in a solution.
  • Conduct electric current in aqueous solutions.
  • Common examples are sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid.

Types of Electrolytes

  • Strong Electrolytes: Completely ionized in water at all concentrations.
  • Weak Electrolytes: Partially ionized in water.

Acid and Base Strength

  • Strong Acids: Ionize completely in aqueous solutions.
  • Strong Bases: Dissociate completely into ions in solution.
  • Weak Acids: Slightly ionized in aqueous solutions.
  • Weak Bases: Do not fully dissociate into ions in solution.

Gas Solubility

  • The solubility of gases in water decreases with an increase in temperature.

Mollality

  • Refers to the concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

Ionization

  • Describes any process that leads to the formation of ions.
