Term
What is the solute?
Definition
The solid that dissolves into the solvent
Term
What is the solvent?
Definition
The liquid part that has things dissolve into it
Term
What is the solution?
Definition
A mixture of one substance dissolved in another
Term
What does dissolved mean?
Definition
When a solute 'disappears' into the solvent
Term
Why is water a good solvent?
Definition
Because many chemicals dissolve in it
Term
What are some things that dissolve in water?
Definition
Sugar, ammonia, cordial, salt, detergent, copper sulfate, blood
Term
What does insoluble mean?
Definition
Not capable of being dissolved eg sulfur in water
Term
What does soluble mean?
Definition
Able to be dissolved eg CuSO4 in water
Term
What does suspension mean?
Definition
A system in which microscopically visible particles are dispersed throughout a less dense liquid or gas from which they are easily filtered but not easily settled because of system viscosity or molecular interactions. eg flour in milk
Term
What is a colloid?
Definition
A system in which finely divided particles, which are approximately 10 to 10000 angstroms in size, are dispersed within a continuous medium in a manner that prevents them from being filtered easily or settle rapidly
Term
What does water exist as in nature?
Definition
Solid, liquid and gas
Term
In a phase diagram what is the triple point for water?
Definition
0.006atm and 0.01degrees celcius
Term
How much of human beings are water?
Definition
two thirds
Term
What percentage of our blood is water?
Definition
80%
Term
Water has a relatively high what?
Definition
Heat capacity, which means it can absorb (and release) large quantities of heat energy with relatively small temperature changes
Term
What is the formula for calculating density?
Definition
Density= mass/volume
Term
What are the three intermolecular bond types?
Definition
Ionic, Hydrogen, Dipole-Dipole
Term
What type of molecule is water?
Definition
A polar molecule
Term
What is a polar molecule?
Definition
Where one end of a molecule has a different charge to the other
Term
What is overall polarity?
Definition
Where a molecule contains more than one polar bond, the polarity of the molecule is found by adding each of the individual bond dipoles
Term
What has to happen to a molecule so it is overall polar?
Definition
1.The molecule MUST contain one or more polar bonds.
2.The molecule must NOT be completely symmetrical
Term
What is Dipole-Dipole?
Definition
are attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule
