help pleaaaaseeee!!! match 1. molarity substance being dissolved 2. diffusion solubility product constant 3. solute the substance doing the dissolving in a solution 4. Keq spreading out 5. solvent general equilibrium constant 6. Ksp moles per liter of solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

match the left column with the right column PLEASE HELP!!

OpenStudy (blues):

You should use process of elimination for this. Are there any options in the two columns you can match?

OpenStudy (blues):

OK, so start with the first one. Molarity. Where in the second column do you see a similar word?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

moles per liter of solution?

OpenStudy (blues):

Yes, I agree. Move on to word two. Diffusion. Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um... substance being dissolved?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

spreading out?

OpenStudy (blues):

Hmm, I don't think so. When things diffuse, what does it mean?

OpenStudy (blues):

Yes, posted before I saw your response. Diffusion = spreading out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the solute the on being dissolved? i think so

OpenStudy (blues):

It is indeed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the solute is solubility product constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (blues):

No, the solute is the thing being dissolved. At this point it might be a good idea to skip down the list to solvent. As it is closely related to solute...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yeah i got them confused

OpenStudy (blues):

Any ideas for solvent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup.. the substance doing the dissolving in a solution ?

OpenStudy (blues):

Exactly. Which leaves the two constants. In general, the big letter K stands for constant. Loosely. And the subscript (the small letters beside it) sort of resemble which constant it is. So for Keq...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is Keq the general equilibium constant?

OpenStudy (blues):

It is. And Ksp is the...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solubility product constant

OpenStudy (blues):

Yes it is. So well done. And thanks for working through it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKK YOU SOOO MUCH!!:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with one more question?

OpenStudy (blues):

Yes. Please post it as a separate thread though, not in this thread.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure:)
