Last March 28, 2010 we started the Unit on Solution Chemistry
-Solution chemistry is the study of reactions that occur in solution
-Solutions are homogeneous mixtures
-Solvents are the part present in greater amounts
-Solutes are the part present in smaller amounts
-A Solute is soluble in a solvent if it dissolves to form a homogeneous mixture
-A Saturated solution contains as much solute as possible
-An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute
-Solubility is a measure of how much solute can dissolve (g/L, g/mL, mol/L, ppm)
-Solubility of Ba(NO3)2
in water @ 25C = 63g/100mL
in alcohol @ 25C = 1.6g/100mL
