Electrolyte and Nonelectrolyte Solutions

72.1K
Substances that undergo either a physical or a chemical change in solution to yield ions that can conduct electricity are called electrolytes. If a substance yields ions in solution, that is, if the compound undergoes 100% dissociation, then the substance is a strong electrolyte. Complete dissociation is indicated by a single forward arrow. For example, water-soluble ionic compounds like sodium chloride dissociate into sodium cations and chloride anions in aqueous solution.

The Fluid Mosaic Model01:34

The Fluid Mosaic Model

179.2K
The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.

Spherical Coordinates01:23

Spherical Coordinates

16.2K
Spherical coordinate systems are preferred over Cartesian, polar, or cylindrical coordinates for systems with spherical symmetry. For example, to describe the surface of a sphere, Cartesian coordinates require all three coordinates. On the other hand, the spherical coordinate system requires only one parameter: the sphere's radius. As a result, the complicated mathematical calculations become simple. Spherical coordinates are used in science and engineering applications like electric and...

Colligative Properties of Electrolytes
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...

Fluid Mosaic Model

17.2K
Scientists identified the plasma membrane in the 1890s and its principal chemical components (lipids and proteins) by 1915. The model for plasma membrane structure, proposed in 1935 by Hugh Davson and James Danielli, was the first model to be widely accepted in the scientific community. The model was based on the plasma membrane's "railroad track" appearance in early electron micrographs. Davson and Danielli theorized that the plasma membrane's structure resembled a sandwich...

Introduction to Electrolytes

16.3K
In humans, electrolytes play a vital role in various physiological processes. Balancing electrolyte levels is essential for normal body functions; their imbalance can be life-threatening. The major electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonate. They are primarily involved in physiological processes, such as nerve signal transmission, membrane trafficking, muscle contraction, buffering body fluids, and balancing water levels in the body.

Area of Science:

  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Electrolyte Theory

Background:

  • Classical Maxwellian descriptions are insufficient for ionic systems.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a nonlocal, two-fluid, hydrodynamic theory.
  • Study of collective charge oscillations (ionic plasmons).
  • Analysis of ionic spatial dispersion from positive and negative charge dynamics.

Main Results:

  • Observed significant nonlocal quenching (up to 90%) of ionic plasmons across various particle sizes.
  • Demonstrated wide tunability of ionic systems via ion concentration, mass, and charge.
  • Identified relevance for biological and chemical systems, bridging hard and soft matter.

Conclusions:

  • The nonlocal soft plasmonic theory for ions provides a framework for investigating non-classical effects in electrolytes.
  • This theory enables the study of plasmonic photo-catalysis by incorporating nonlocal aspects into electrolyte-metal interactions.
