Ions in Solutions

- the formation of a solution depends onthe ability of the solute to dissolve in the solvent
-solvation is the interaction btw solutes and solvents
-ionic solids (salts) are crystals made up of ions
-molecular solids are cystals made up of neutral molecules
-dissolving ionic solutions produces ions in a process called dissociation
-ionization is the break up of a neutral molecutle into charged particles

EX. CH3COOH--->CH3COO- + H+

-Determining concentrations is relatively easy

EX. What is the [Cl-] in a solution of 0.50M AgCl3
1)AgCl3--->Ag+ + 3Cl-
2)0.50 x 3 = 1.50M
