In a salt-water solution, which statement correctly identifies the solvent and solute?
- A
Sodium chloride is the solvent because it is dissolved in water.
- B
Water is the solvent because it dissolves the sodium chloride.
- C
Both substances are solvents because they form a solution.
- D
Neither substance is a solvent because dissolving is not a chemical reaction.
The amount of solute present in a given amount of solution is its .
Which expression defines the molarity of a solution?
- A
Liters of solvent divided by moles of solute
- B
Grams of solute divided by liters of solvent
- C
Moles of solute divided by liters of solution
- D
Moles of solvent divided by liters of solution
True or false: Stirring a solution generally increases the maximum amount of solid solute that can dissolve at equilibrium.
- A
True
- B
False
Select all factors that can affect the maximum amount of solute that dissolves at equilibrium.
- A
The identities of the solute and solvent
- B
Temperature
- C
Whether the mixture is stirred
- D
Pressure above a liquid when the solute is a gas
At equilibrium under specified conditions, a solution that holds as much dissolved solute as it can is .
A sealed soda bottle is opened at constant temperature. Which explanation best accounts for some dissolved carbon dioxide escaping?
- A
Opening the bottle lowers the pressure above the liquid, allowing some dissolved gas to escape.
- B
Opening the bottle raises the pressure above the liquid, forcing more gas to escape.
- C
Opening the bottle changes stirring, which increases the gas solubility.
- D
Opening the bottle makes the liquid saturated by adding more dissolved gas.
A solution contains 0.50mol of solute in a total solution volume of 2.0L. What is its molarity? Give the numerical value in M.
Select all statements that correctly describe the usual effect of rising temperature on solubility.
- A
For most solid solutes in water, solubility usually increases as temperature rises.
- B
For all solid solutes in water, solubility always increases as temperature rises.
- C
For gases dissolved in liquids, solubility usually decreases as temperature rises.
- D
For gases dissolved in liquids, solubility always increases as temperature rises.
What is the term for a solution that contains less dissolved solute than the maximum amount it can hold under specified conditions?
Explain the difference between a solvent and a solute, then identify each one in a salt-water solution.
Which statement best applies the “like dissolves like” guideline to choosing a solvent?
- A
Polar substances generally dissolve better in nonpolar solvents, and vice versa.
- B
Polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
- C
Polarity does not affect whether substances form a uniform solution.
- D
A substance dissolves only if it reacts chemically with its solvent.
What term describes the maximum concentration of a substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent under specified conditions?
In salt water, which component is the solvent?
- A
Water
- B
Sodium chloride
Which example is a homogeneous solution?
- A
Salt that has dissolved evenly throughout water
- B
Oil floating in a separate layer above water
- C
Sand that has settled to the bottom of water
- D
Undissolved crystals collected at the bottom of water
When sugar dissolves in water, a new chemical substance must form.
- A
True
- B
False
What concentration term describes the mass of solute per volume of solution?
A solution is saturated at a specified temperature and pressure. Which statement best describes it at equilibrium?
- A
It contains less dissolved solute than it can hold at equilibrium.
- B
It contains as much dissolved solute as it can hold at equilibrium.
- C
It temporarily contains more dissolved solute than is normally stable.
- D
Any additional solute will dissolve if the solution is left undisturbed.
A sealed carbonated drink warms while its pressure stays constant. Based on the usual temperature effect for gases dissolved in liquids, what happens to carbon dioxide solubility?
- A
More carbon dioxide dissolves as the drink warms.
- B
The carbon dioxide solubility remains unchanged as the drink warms.
- C
Less carbon dioxide remains dissolved as the drink warms.
- D
The drink becomes saturated with carbon dioxide at every temperature.
