Solutions
• For a chemical reaction to occur, the reacting species
have to come in close contact with each other. Most
chemical reactions are performed in a solution (or in
the gas phase) rather than in the solid state.
• A solution consists of a smaller amount of one
Solution substance, the solute (usually a liquid or solid),
dissolved in a larger amount of another substance,

the solvent (usually a liquid).
– Other kinds of solutions, such as of two or more
solids (e.g., metal alloys), or gases dissolved in
solids, or gases dissolved in other gases (e.g., the
atmosphere), are also possible.
• Solutions in which water is the solvent are known as
aqueous solutions.

Weak Electrolytes and Dynamic Equilibrium Nonelectrolytes, Strong and Weak Electrolytes
• Dissociation of weak electrolytes are often written
using back-and-forth double arrows, indicating that a
dynamic equilibrium is taking place, in which there
is a forward and a backward direction to the process.

• The Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases
is based on proton (H+) transfer:
HA(aq) → H+(aq) + A-(aq) – An Brønsted acid is a proton (H+) donor.
an acid – A Brønsted base is a proton (H+) acceptor.
– An acid-base (neutralization) reaction is a proton

unstable intermediate. This removes ions from the
