Difference Between Aqueous Solution An Dliquid State?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the differences between aqueous solutions and the liquid state, with a focus on the role of water in these contexts. Participants explore definitions, properties, and examples related to hydration and aqueous solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that "Dliquid" might refer to a crystalline state of a compound with water included, often denoted as compound . x H2O, indicating a hydrate.
  • There is a distinction made by some that "aqueous" refers to a fluid in water where the water does not chemically react with the substance.
  • Others argue that a hydrated substance can exist in solid form, as exemplified by CuSO4, which changes color when hydrated.
  • One participant questions whether an aqueous solution can be made with substances other than water.
  • It is noted that an aqueous solution is specifically defined as ions dissolved in water, with an emphasis on the role of water as a dipolar solvent breaking ionic bonds.
  • Clarifications are made regarding the specific ion responsible for color changes in hydrated compounds, with a focus on the Cu+2 ion in CuSO4.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying interpretations of "aqueous" and "liquid," and while some definitions are clarified, there remains no consensus on the broader implications of these terms.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the definitions of "aqueous" and "liquid" are not fully explored, and the discussion includes typographical errors that may affect clarity.

I heard its somethin to do with H-Bonding...help...

I don't know what Dliquid means, but could it be that it is the crystaline state of a compound with water included in its structure?

It is commonly notated as compound . x H2O

so a hydrate you think?

someone correct me if I am damn wrong:

aqueous simplified means its a fluid (liquid or gas) in water. the water doesn't really have anything to do with the substance and doesn't react.

hydrated means that there's water molecules attached to the substance, but it doesn't affect the state of it, as in it can be solid and hydrated (CuS does that right? turns blue? man its been a while...)

Almost.. CuSO4 :)

well I was close :p
 
You can make an aqueous solution with something besides water can't you?
 
aqua = water
 
A liquid is any substance in a state of certain fluidity; namely, it has a fixed volume, but not a fixed shape. An aqueous solution is strictly ions dissolved in water. Better yet, it is an ionically bonded substance whose ionic bonds have been broken by the highly dipolar water molecule.
 
It's actually the Cu+2 ion that causes the blue coloring, but we all knew that.

its not Dliquid...that was mistyped...it is liquid ...

so I was TECHNICALLY right?? ;)
