Term
What is a solution?
Definition
A homogeneous mixture; consists of solutes dissolved in a solvent.
Term
What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?
Definition
A solute is what is dissolved in a solution. For example, chocolate syrup. A solvent is what the solute dissolves in. For example, Milk. Creating a solution of: Chocolate Milk.
Term
What is the difference between saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated?
Definition
Saturated- Contains the maximum amount of solvent a for a solution. Unsaturated-Contans the lowest amount of solute possible. Supersaturated- A solution contains more solute than possible.
Term
What is the difference between dilute and concentrated?
Definition
Dilute- It contains a smaller amount of solute in relation to the solvent. Concentration- Contains a larger amount of solute in relation to the solvent.
Term
What 3 factors affect the rate in which a substance dissolves? How do these factors affect the rate of dissolution?
Definition
Temperature-Warmer means faster. Agitation- Stirring increases dissolving. Surface Area- Smaller area is easier to heat or stir.
Term
What factors affect the rate of solubility? How do these factors affect the rate of solubility?
Definition
Temperature and Pressure.
Term
How can the solubility of a solution be written?
Definition
Grams of solute OVER 1 liter of solvent. Grams of solute OVER one hundred grams of solvent.
Term
What is a polar molecule?
A nonpolar molecule?
Definition
Polar- has a positive side and a negative side.
Nonpolar-Electrons are shared 2 atoms.
Term
What is an emulsifier?
Definition
A dispersion of a liquid in a liquid.
Term
How does an emulsifier work?
Definition
Grease and Oil aren't soluble with water, so soap connects them.
Term
Give two examples of emulsifiers.
Definition
Milk and Soap.
Term
How do you find dilutions?
Definition
M1V1 = M2V2
Term
How is Henry's law written? Solubility and Pressure.
Definition
S1 OVER P1 = S2 OVER P2
Term
What is a suspension? What is a colloid? Give an example of each.
Definition
Suspension- a mixture from which some of the particles settle out upon standing. Like a snowglobe.
Colloid- Mixture where particles are intermediate in size between those of a suspension an a solute. Like gel.
Term
How do solutions differ from suspensions and colloids?
Definition
Solutions are homogeneous.
Term
What is the Tyndall effect? What substances exhibit the Tyndall effect?
Definition
The scattering of light throughout a substance. Colloid and Suspension.
