Chem Class- March 30, 2010

We can't believe we're already in Unit 6!

Solution Chemistry

- The study of chemical reactions in solutions

- A solution is a homogeneous mixture

- Solvents are components present in larger amounts

- Solutes are componets present in smaller amounts

- A solute is soluble in a solvent if it dissolves to form a homogenous mixture

- A saturated solution contains as much solute as possible

- An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute

- Solubility is the measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solution  (g/L, g/ml, mol/L, ppm)

- The solubility of Ba (NO3)2in water is 63 g/100 mL @ 25 degrees Celcius while the solubilty of Ba(NO3)2 in alcohol is is 1.6 g/ 100 mL @ 25 degrees Celcius

- Fators that can affect solubility: heat, changing the solvent and changing the solute
