Unit 4 Study List: Aqueous Solutions
AP Chemistry Unit Four: Aqueous Solutions S T U D Y L I S T Properties of Aqueous Solutions ?? Define solute, solvent, and solution. Give examples. ?? Define electrolytes. Give operational and theoretical definitions of electrolytes. ?? Know that soluble ionic compounds and strong acids are strong electrolytes. Ionic compounds of low solubility [e.g. Mg(OH) 2 ] and weak acids/bases are weak electrolytes. ?? Know that molecular compounds (except acids) are non-electrolytes. ?? Know that alcohols (e.g. CH 3 OH )are not ionic hydroxides. Bases are usually metallic hydroxides. ?? Know the solubility rules. State whether an ionic compound is soluble in water. Precipitation Reactions ?? Know that ppt reactions are double
