Difference Between Aqueous Solution An Dliquid State?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concepts of hydration and aqueous solutions in chemistry. It begins with a query about the term "Dliquid," which is clarified to mean "liquid." Participants explore the idea of hydrates, noting that a hydrate is a crystalline compound that includes water in its structure, typically represented as compound.x H2O. The distinction between "aqueous" and "hydrated" is highlighted, with "aqueous" referring to substances in a solution with water where the water does not chemically interact with the solute, while "hydrated" indicates water molecules are attached to a substance without altering its state. The conversation also touches on the properties of copper sulfate (CuSO4), emphasizing that the blue color observed is due to the Cu+2 ion. Overall, the thread clarifies the definitions and relationships between hydration, aqueous solutions, and the behavior of specific compounds in water.

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?? ;)
