Term
soluble
Definition
can be dissolved in another material, such as water
Term
solution
Definition
homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances in a single physical state
Term
solvent
Definition
substance that does the dissolving in a solution
Term
mixture
Definition
not combined chemically
Term
properties of a mixtures
Definition
-keep separate identity
- some physical properties may change
-no change inm chemical composition
-substances can be present in any amount
-can be separated by physical means
Term
what are the two types of mixtures
Definition
Homogenous and heterogenous
Term
heterogenous mixture
Definition
mixture that does not appear the same throughout
Term
particles are large enough to be seen
and
particles settle
Definition
heterogenous
Term
homogeneous mixture
Definition
mixture that apperas the same throughout
Term
particles are too small to be seen
and
particles do not settle out
Definition
homogeneous mixture
Term
colloid
Definition
-particles are mixed together but not dissolved
-particles are relatively large (but not large enough to be seen)
-particles are suspended
-scatters light
Term
solution
Definition
homogeneous of 2 or more substances in a single physical state
Term
parts of a solutions
Definition
solute and solvent
Term
properties of silutions
Definition
most can not be separated by simple physical means
-does not scatter light
-every part tastes the same
-particles are evenly spaced
Term
soluble
Definition
a substance that disolves in another substance
-sugar
-salt
-a spin
-Ice-T mixture
Term
universal solvent
Definition
water
Term
insoluble
Definition
a substance that does not dissolve in another substance
-gas
-sand
-olive oil
-motor oil
Term
alloy
Definition
metal solution
-homogeneus
-solution
Term
solubility
Definition
amount of solute that can be completely dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a specific temp.
Term
dilute
Definition
solutions with a small amount of solute
Term
concentrated
Definition
solutions with a large amount of solute
Term
saturated
Definition
a solution taht contains as much solute as can be dissolved at a specific temp. and pressure
Term
atom
Definition
smallest particle of an element that still have properties of that element
Term
element
Definition
simplest pure substance that can not be changed into a simpler substance by heating or a chemical process
Term
molecule
Definition
2 or more atoms chemically bonded together- could be compound or element
-H2 or H2O
Term
compound
Definition
2 or more different elements chemically combined
-H2O, CO2, CO
Term
pure substance
Definition
is made of only one type of material
Term
chemical symbols
Definition
shorthand way of representing the elements
Term
chemical formula
Definition
shorthand way or representing chemical substances-combination of chemical symbols
-CO2
Term
subscript
Definition
gives the number of atoms of the element in the compound
- no number= implies 1
-CO2-carbon=1
-Oxygen=2
Term
chemical equation
Definition
descrption of a chemical reation using symbols and formulas
-must be balanced
-C+O2 -> CO2
balanced
Term
coefficient
Definition
number in front of a chemichal formula that is used to balance a chemical equation
-coefficients are multiplies by subscripts

-5(CH4)2
Carbon-10
Hydrogen-40
Term
when you make lemonade from powder, what is the solute? What is the solvent?
Definition
solute- lemonade powder
slovent- water
Term
what is soluble in water? what is insoluble in water
Definition
soluble- salt, sugar, lemonade powder, asprin
insoluble-oil, motor oil, sand, gas
Term
what makes up a mixture? how is it mixed? how can you separate them?
Definition
can be seperated by physical means
not chemically combined
two or more substances combined but not chemicaly
Term
what happens with the pariciles in a homogeneous mixture? heterogeneous mixture?
Definition
Homogeneous-well mixed and particles are not easaly seen, whippedcream, toothpaste, suntain lotion
heterogeneous-the particles are large enough to be seen (not well mixed) water and sand, burger, tacos, oil and water
Term
how can you increase the solubility of an solution
Definition
you can increase the solubility of a substance by heating or cooling it
Term
what is the difference between colloids and compounds
Definition
colloids are two particles that are mixed together but not dissolved while compounds are two or more different elements chemically combined
