In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains the important properties of solutions. A solution can be either a solid, liquid or gas but it must be homogeneous in nature. The solutes can not be separated with a filter and so either chromatography or distillation must be used. Molarity is the number of moles of a solute in a solution. A simple molar solution preparation is also included.--Publisher.

Keep testing the key concepts related to solutions, concentration units, colligative properties, and intermolecular forces through this second 15-question practice set. When you're done, make sure to review the detailed answer explanations, which explain the reasoning behind each question, so you can improve your skills.

Solution chemistry provides tools to measure the concentration of components of solutions, like the CO2 levels in ocean water. The majority of chemical reactions happen in solutions. For example, when we breathe, the nitrogen in the air dissolves in our blood. Henry's Law gives us the power to predict, prevent, and treat "the bends," a life-threatening condition that can happen to SCUBA divers when nitrogen in the blood comes out of solution and forms...

"An Introduction to Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions is a comprehensive coverage of the subject including the development of key concepts and theory that focus on the physical rather than the mathematical aspects. Important links are made between the study of electrolyte solutions and other branches of chemistry, biology and biochemistry, making it a useful cross-reference tool for students studying this important area of electrochemistry." "An invaluable...
