REACTIONS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Aqueous: dissolved in water
Solutions: homogeneous mixtures composed of a solute and solvent.
Solute: what gets dissolved, smaller amount and can be more than one.
Solvent: does the dissolving, greatest amount, only one.
GENERAL PROPERTIES OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
a) Soluble solutes --> ionic compounds --> electrolytes (produces ions when dissolved in water)
Example:
Sodium Chloride in water
Dissociation:
NaCl (s) + H2O (l) ---> Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Conducts electricity:
b) The Dissolving process --> solvent surrounds the solute particles
Example:
1. Ionic Compounds 2. Molecular Compounds
(Ions get surrounded) (Molecule gets surrounded)
3. Acids
Strong acids: Strong electrolytes
Weak acids: Weak electrolytes
