Section 6-2: The Nature of Aqueous Solutions: Strong and Weak Electrolytes
Weak Electrolytes
A weak electrolyte is a substance that does not completely dissociate into its ions
upon dissolution. Ex. weak acids, weak bases
Weak acids are acids that produce a low amount of H+ ions in solution. Ex.
acetic acid
Weak bases are bases that produce a low amount of OH- ions in solution. Ex.
ammonia
Nonelectrolytes
A nonelectrolyte is a substance that does not dissociate ions upon dissolution.
Ex. alcohols, such as ethanol
The molecules are dispersed in solution but do not produce any ions. Therefore,
the solution does not conduct electricity
Section 6-3: The Composition of Solutions
Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions in Solution
Performing stoichiometric calculations of chemical reactions in solution requires
information about:
o The nature of the reaction: exact forms of the compounds when dissolved
in the solvent
o The amounts of each compound: usually expressed as concentrations
Molarity of a Solution
Molarity is the way to describe the concentration of a solution
Molarity = number of moles of solute per liter (volume) of solution
M = molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution
