Studied by 3 people
Aqueous (aq)
A solid dissolved in water.
Solutions
Homogeneous mixtures of two or more pure substances.
Solvent
The liquid present in greatest abundance.
Solutes
All other substances, typically solid.
Dissociation
The process where an ionic compound breaks up into ions.
Electrolytes
Substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.
Nonelectrolytes
Substances that may dissolve in water but do not dissociate into ions.
Acids
Substances that ionize in aqueous solution to form H+.
Bases
Substances that react with or accept H+ ions, increasing the concentration of OH-.
Precipitation reactions
Occur when two solutions containing soluble salts are mixed, producing an insoluble salt.
Oxidation
The loss of electrons.
Reduction
The gain of electrons.
Oxidation Numbers
Assigned to elements in compounds to track electron transfer.
Molarity
Measure of concentration in moles of solute per liter of solution.
Equation: \dfrac{moles\:of\:solute}{volume\:of\:solute\:in\:Liters}
Dilution
Process of reducing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent.
Equation: M_{1}V_{1}=M_{2}V_{2}
