Reactionsin Solution
AP Chemistry
solvent
solution: a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
-- The ______ is present in greatest quantity.
-- Any other substance present is called a ______.
aqueous solutions: solutions in which water is the dissolving medium (i.e., the solvent)
electrolyte: any substance whose aqueous solutionwill conduct electricity
e.g., -- as opposed to a nonelectrolyte, e.g.,
solute
HCl, NaCl, KOH
any sugar (C6H12O6, C12H22O11)
or any alcohol (CH3OH, CH3CH2OH)

As a general rule, ionic solids dissociate into ions inaqueous solution. The partial (–) charge on the O andthe partial (+) charge on the H atoms allow H2O tointeract strongly with, and “pull out,” ions in the crystallattice. Thus, ionic compounds are often strongelectrolytes.

For molecular compounds, structural integrity ofmolecules is maintained. Substance may dissolve,but generally won’t split into ions. Thus, mol. comps.tend to be nonelectrolytes.
-- major exceptions: acids and NH3 (ammonia)
** When molecular compounds DO split into ions,it is called ionization, not dissociation.
Strong electrolytes exist almost completely as ions in aqueous solution.
e.g.,
Weak electrolytes produce only a small concentration of ions in reaching equilibrium.
e.g.,
HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
KCl(aq) K+(aq) + Cl–(aq)

Some of the strong electrolytes are thestrong acids and strong bases.
STRONG ACIDS STRONG BASES
the hydroxides of...
“strong base cations”
Li, Na, K, Rb,Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba
hydrochloric, HCl
hydrobromic, HBr
hydroiodic, HI chloric, HClO3
perchloric, HClO4
nitric, HNO3
sulfuric, H2SO4
If… “most”
Be careful to distinguish betweendissolution and dissociation/ionizationin regard to strongs or weaks. Forexample, CH3COOH dissolves completely, but ionizesonly slightly; it is therefore a weak electrolyte. On theother hand, Ba(OH)2 dissolves very little, but theamount that does dissolve dissociates almostcompletely. Ba(OH)2 is a strong electrolyte.
The question is: Of the amount that dissolves, whatfraction dissociates/ionizes?
If… “not much”

WEAK
Precipitation reactions are reactions in solution that form an insoluble product.
The insoluble product is called a... precipitate.
