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.
