Term
What gives water its "flavor"?
Definition
Minerals, fluoride, chloride and metallic ions give water its "flavor".
Term

What is Suspension?

Definition
Suspension is a mixture where the particles can be visible and seperated by settling and filtration. An example, would be a snow globe.
Term
What is Solution?
Definition

Solution is a well-mixed solution. Salt and water mixed, the salt dissolved in water.

Term
What is a Colloid?
Definition
Colloid is a mixture that has particles bigger than ones in solution but it can not be seen. It can scatter light beams. Fog, milk and Jello and examples.
Term
What is a Solvent?
Definition
Solvent is the part of a solution that makes up the largest amount.
Term
What is a Solute?
Definition
Solute is the substance present in a solution ina  small amount and it can dissolved by the solvent.
Term

Explain about water, the solvent.

Definition

Without water, there would be no life.

Cells are made mostly of water and dissolved chemicals.

Digestion takes place in water solutions.

Plants get their nutrients from the water solution in the soil.

Term

Solution without water.

Definition

Gasoline is a solution of several different liquid fuels.

Solutions are made up of any combination of gas, liquid or solid.

Term
What happens when a solution forms?
Definition
When a solution forms, the particles of solute leave each other and become surrounded by particles of solvent.
Term
What happens when an Ionic solid dissolves in a solution?
Definition
The negative and positive ions are attracted to the polar water molecules. The water molecules surround themselves with each ion as it leaves to the surface of crystal. The more molecules exposed, the more ions dissolve.
Term
Describe Molecular solutes.
Definition

The polar water molecules attract  polar sugar molecules. This causes sugar molecules to move away from eac other. But covalent bonds aren't broken.

Term

Dilute solution

Definition

Little solute in the mixture

Term

Concentrated Solution

Definition
More solute in the mixture
Term

Define soluble.

Definition

The measure of how well a solute can dissolve at a given temperature.

Term

Define saturated and unsaturated solution.

Definition

If solution no longer can dissolve any more solue then it is called saturated.

As long as solution can continue dissolving solute then it is called unsaturated.

Term
Supersaturated solution
Definition

These occur in non-normal lconditions.

Soda with carbonation is a supersaturated solution where CO2 is dissolved at high pressure and sealed.

Term
How does Temperature affect solubilty?
Definition

For liquids high temperature means better solubilty.

For gases high temperature and high pressure means better solubilty.

Term

How does solvents mix?

Definition
Polar will dissolve in polar and nonpolar will dissolve in nonpolar.
Term
Solutes effects on solutions
Definition
Will decrease freezing point and it will raise boiling point.
