Cards

Term
Solvation
Definition
attraction between solvent molecules & solute particles
Term
Hydration
Definition
attraction between water molecules and solute particles
Term
Solubility
Definition
Maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at equilibrium at a given temp
Term
Saturated Solution
Definition
all that can dissolve has dissolved
Term
Unsaturated Solution
Definition
contains less than maximum amount of dissolved solute
Term
Supersaturated Solution
Definition
contains more than maximum amount of dissolved solute
Term
Miscible liquids
Definition
mix with and dissolve in each other in any ratio
Term
Immiscible liquids
Definition

do not mix  

form two layers

Term
hydrophillic
Definition

are polar

will dissolve in water

Term
hydrophobic
Definition

are non polar

will not dissolve in water

Term
colligative properties
Definition

vp lowering

bp elevation

freezing pt depression

osmotic pressure

Term
volatile substances
Definition
evaporate easily 
Term
non-volatile substances
Definition

do not evaporate

 

ex:

sugar, salt

Term
Fractional Distillation
Definition
The process of evaporation and condensing is repeated many times until pure component is obtained 
Term

Non electrolytes 

(in aqueous solution)

Definition

do not break down into ions

 

ex:

sugar , alcohol

Term

Electrolytes

(in aqueous solution)

Definition

Break down into ions

 

Ex: 

NaCl, NaOH, HCl

Term
Osmosis
Definition
solvent flow through a semi-permeable membrane to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane
Term
Semi-Permeable Membrane
Definition
allows only solvent molecules to pass through
Term
Osmotic Pressure
Definition
Pressure that just stops osmosis when applied to the solution
Term
True solution
Definition
Individual molecules or ions of the solute moving around in the solvent
Term
Colloid
Definition
Much larger particle moving around in the "solvent"
Term
Aerosol
Definition
Liquid droplets (fog) or solid particles (smoke) dispersed through a gas
Term
Emulsion
Definition

Liquid droplets dispersed in another liquid 

 

Ex:

butter fat in homogenized milk

Term
Sol
Definition

solid particles dispersed in liquid

 

Ex: 

mud water

Term
Tyndall Effect
Definition

Scattering of visible light by colloids 

 

allows to distinguish between colloids and true solutions
