  • What is a homogeneous mixture that is in one phase called?
    A solution
  • In a liquid solution, what is the substance that gets dissolved called?
    Solute
  • What is the term for the substance doing the dissolving in a liquid solution?
    Solvent
  • Why do solutions tend to retain the properties of the solvent?
    Because solvent particles are typically much more abundant than the solute
  • How can we classify a solute in relation to a solvent?
    As either soluble or insoluble
  • What determines if a substance will dissolve in a solvent?
    If it makes favorable intermolecular contacts with solvent particles
  • What happens to salt when it dissolves in water?
    It dissociates into sodium ions and chloride ions
  • Why won't a nonpolar covalent compound dissolve in water?
    Because it cannot make dipole-dipole interactions with polar water molecules
  • What does the saying "like dissolves like" refer to?
    It refers to the principle that polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes
  • Why is salt water considered a strong electrolyte?
    Because the charged ions in solution can conduct electricity
  • What characterizes weak electrolytes?
    They only partially ionize in solution
  • What is the purpose of using subscripts in molecular equations?
    To show the phase of each compound
  • What does the term "aqueous" describe in solution chemistry?
    It describes ions that dissociate in solution
  • What happens when ions come together to form a new compound that is insoluble in a solvent?
    It will crash out of solution as a precipitate
  • What is a molecular equation used for in solution chemistry?
    To describe substances that transform in solution
  • What is a net ionic equation?
    It summarizes the key transformation by eliminating spectator ions
  • What is the first step in writing a net ionic equation?
    Writing the complete ionic equation
  • What does splitting ionic compounds into their respective ions involve?
    Remembering the common charges of the ions
  • What do we do with substances that are present on both sides of the complete ionic equation?
    We cancel them out
  • What is the result of the net ionic equation?
    It shows the two ions that come together to form a solid precipitate
  • What are the types of reactions categorized in solution chemistry?
    • Synthesis: Two things become one
    • Decomposition: One thing becomes two
    • Single displacement: One component swaps out
    • Double displacement: Two components switch places
  • Who is the speaker of the material?
    Professor Dave
  • What does Professor Dave encourage viewers to do at the end of the material?
    Subscribe to his channel for more tutorials
  • How can viewers reach out to Professor Dave?
    By email
  • What theory of acids and bases have we previously learned about?
    The Bronsted-Lowry theory
  • What is the main focus of the upcoming lesson?
    Conjugate acids and bases
  • What is vinegar a solution of?
    Acetic acid
  • What is the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar?
    Five percent
  • What are two common uses of vinegar?
    Cooking and cleaning
  • In the reaction of acetic acid in water, which species acts as the Bronsted-Lowry acid?
    Acetic acid
  • In the reaction of acetic acid in water, which species acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base?
    Water
  • What does a Bronsted-Lowry acid do in a reaction?
    It releases a proton
  • What does a Bronsted-Lowry base do in a reaction?
    It accepts a proton
  • What ion is formed when acetic acid releases a proton?
    Acetate ion
  • What is the conjugate base formed from acetic acid?
    Acetate ion
  • What is the hydronium ion also known as?
    Oxonium ion
  • How is the hydronium ion formed in the reaction?
    When water accepts a proton from acetic acid
  • What is the conjugate acid formed when water accepts a proton?
    Hydronium ion
  • What is the relationship between a Bronsted-Lowry acid and its conjugate base?
    A conjugate base is formed when a Bronsted-Lowry acid releases a proton
  • What is the relationship between a Bronsted-Lowry base and its conjugate acid?
    A conjugate acid is formed when a Bronsted-Lowry base accepts a proton
