Solutions, Acids, and Bases
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the components of the mixture are evenly mixed.
- In a solution, one substance, the solute is dissolved into another substance, the solvent.
- The movement of molecules causes the solute to break apart and mix evenly throughout the solvent.
- Liquids and gases dissolve easily. Solid alloy solutions must be melted for dissolving to occur.
- A liquid dissolves a solid at the surface of the solid.
- Since water is a polar molecule, it works well as a solvent. A solution where water is the solvent is called an aqueous solution.
- Agitation, size of particles and temperature can affect the rate of dissolving.
- Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a certain amount of solvent.
- Solubility is affected by the types of solutes and solvents, temperature, and pressure.
- The amount of solute dissolved into the solvent is the concentration of the solution.
- The pH scale is the measure of
H+ in a solution. The scale ranges from 0 to 14; a pH less than 7 is
an acid, 7 is neutral, and greater than 7 is a base.
Acids and bases react together to form salt and water
When naming ionic compounds, the name of which ion goes first?
The positive ion is first
What is the name of the ionic compound that forms when Hydrogen (with an oxidation number of 1+) and Chlorine (with an oxidation number of 1-) bond?
Hydrogen chloride
What is the chemical formula of Magnesium Bromide? (Mg2+ and Br1−)
MgBr2
What is the name of an ion that is made up of more than one atom?
A polyatomic ion
What is the chemical formula for Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg2+ and OH1−)?
Mg(OH)2
What type of compound is diarsenic pentoxide? How do you know?
A covalent compound – this is a bond between a metalloid and a nonmetal so it is covalent and the numerical prefixes are included in the names, which is another indication that it is a covalent compound.
What type of compound is copper (II) carbonate? How do you know?
An ionic compound – Copper is a metal and carbon is a nonmetal, copper (II) has an oxidation number of 2+ and carbonate is a polyatomic ion with an oxidation number of 2-
What is the chemical formula for phosphorus trihydride?
PH3
What type of compounds are solids at room temperature and form when electrons are gained or lost?
Ionic compounds
What is the name for a compound that is made up of only two elements?
Binary compound
