CHAPTER OUTLINE

  1. Solutions that dissolve in water can be strong or weak electrolytes, depending on their intramolecular bonding. SECTION 7.2
  2. Stoichiometric, ionic and net ionic equations highlight different aspects of precipitation reactions. SECTION 7.3
  3. Ion concentrations for mixed solutions can be calculated from a knowledge of ionic equations. SECTION 14.6
  4. Arrhenius defined acids & bases as electrolyte solutions containing hydrogen & hydroxide ions. SECTIONS 5.6, 7.4, 15.1
  5. Bronsted redefined acids and abses more broadly in terms of proton (hydrogen ion) movement. SECTION 15.1
  6. Water dissociates wery weakly into hydrogen and hydroxide ions. SECTION 15.3
  7. pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of solutions. SECTIONS 15.4-15.5
  8. Buffers resist changes in pH. SECTION 15.6
  9. Neutralization by titration is a powerful lab technique. SECTION 14.7

Arrhenius paper

  1. "Osmotic pressure" is the pressure a more concentrated solution exerts on a less concentrated solution. Put Van't Hoff's analogy in your own words.
  2. What is the difficulty that Arrhenius sees in Van't Hoff's theory?
  3. If gases show this kind of difficulty, what is the usual explanation? Draw a diagram to show why a dissociated gas would exert more pressure than a non-dissociated gas.
  4. Does Arrhenius think the same process proposed for gases also occurs in solutions?
  5. What is Arrhenius' definition of an "active" molecule?
  6. Write an equation for calculating an "activity coefficient" (also called alpha, or a).
  7. What is "i"?
  8. In the table at the end of the article, values for "i" are shown two ways. The "i=t/18.5" column are found from experimental data. The "i=1+(k-1)a" are calculated from Arrhenius' theory. Does his theory work: does it predict the experimental results well?
  9. Why do the nonconductors in the table have a=0? i=1?
  10. Look at the alpha (a) column for the electrolytes. Which ones don't dissociate very much? How do you know?

Panel #1 reads:" Hey, Limewater, get into the music chamber! We need more base!"

 

Panel #2 reads: "That's more like it. Boy, this base is giving off some heat."
