CHM 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Kinetic Theory Of Gases, Ionic Compound, Solubility Table
Document Summary
Types of solutes: strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, nonelectrolyte. Strong electrolyte: dissociates 100% into ions as it dissolves. Salts (ionic compounds), strong acids, and strong bases are all strong electrolytes. Weak electrolyte: dissociates partially into ions as it dissolves. Weak acids and weak bases are weak electrolytes. Nonelectrolytes: does not dissociate at all as it dissolves. Strong acids and strong bases: acid - increases hydrogen ion (h3o+) concentration in water base - increases oh concentration in water strong acids - dissociate 100% in water acid. How to name acids (works for strong and weak acids): Add prefix hydro to anion name, drop last syllable of anion name and add ic and the word acid. Oxyanion containing acids (h is actually attached to an oxygen): Drop last syllable of oxyanion name and add ic acid if anion ending is ate; add ous acid if anion name ends in ite.
