SLO 2.3 - Solutions
Describe the general composition and reactivity of matter
Key Concepts and Skills
- Solutions: Define and apply the terms solute, solvent, solution, solubility. Evaluate statements, diagrams and equation representations made about solutions and the process of dissolving
- Molarity: Use the relationships between of moles, grams, volume and molarity to calculate the concentration of chemical solutions
- Dilutions: Apply the concept of serial dilution to calculate concentrations of stock and dilute solutions.
- Solubility Rules: Determine solubility of an ionic compound in an aqueous solution based on the solubility rules.
- Precipitation Reactions: Predict products in precipitation reactions, list spectator ions in reactions, interpret models/diagrams depicting dissolution reactions, and write full molecular, total ionic, net ionic chemical equations describing the reaction.
- Dissolution Stoichiometry: Given amounts an ionic compound and volume of an aqueous solution, determine the concentration of ions in an aqueous solutions in terms of molarity.
