Term
Three things that determine how fast a substance dissolves
Definition
Agitation, temperature, and the surface area of the dissolving particles.
Term
Determines whether a substance will dissolve
Definition
The compositions of the solvent and solute.
Term
Solvent
Definition
The dissolving medium in a solution.
Term
Solution
Definition
A homogeneous mixture consisting of solutes dissolved in a solvent.
Term
Solute
Definition
Dissolved particles in a solution.
Term
Saturated Solution
Definition
A solution containing the maximum amount of solute for a given quantity of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure.
Term
Solubility
Definition
The amount of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of a solvent at a specified temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution. Often expressed in grams of solute per 100 g of solvent.
Term
Unsaturated Solution
Definition
Contains less solute than a saturated solution would at a specified temperature and pressure.
Term
Miscible
Definition
The ability of one liquid to dissolve in all proportions with another liquid.
Term
Partially Miscible
Definition
Part of the liquid will dissolve in another liquid.
Term
Immiscible
Definition
Liquids that are insoluble in each other.
Term
Supersaturated Solution
Definition
Contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature.
Term
Does greater temperature increase or decrease the solubility of most substances?
Definition
Higher temperature increases the solubility of most substances.
Term
Does greater temperature increase or decrease the solubility of most gases?
Definition
Higher temperature decreases the solubility of most gases.
Term
Henry's Law
Definition
At a given temperature, the solubility (S) of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure (P) of the gas above the liquids. S1/P1 = S2/P2.
