Chem Solute Terms
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Solute | Dissolved particles; Present in the lesser amount; sometimes phase changes (S=L); Uniformat dispersed throughout |
Solvent | Dissolving medium; that which is present in the greater amount; doesn't change phase |
Dissociation | Separation of ions from each other |
Solvation | Process that occurs when a solute dissolves; solvent dissolves solute |
Hydration | Reaction of a substance with water |
Solution Equilibrium | Balance between dissolved and undissolved solutions |
Miscibility | If two substances can dissolve in each other |
Factors that increase rate of solution | Stir/shake solution; Expose more surface by crushing the solution; Warm the solution |
Saturated solution | Contain the maximum amount of solute at the temperature |
Unsaturated Solution | Contains less than the max amount of solute at the temperature |
Supersaturated Solution | Contains more than the max amount at the given temperature (more solute than the solvent can hold) |
Concentration | measure of the relative proportions of two or more quantities in a mixture |
Precipitation | A reaction that leads to the formation of a heavier solid in a lighter liquid |
Precipitate | an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution |
