UNIT 3: SOLUTIONS
Covers Unit 3 over Water and Solutions
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Polar molecule | A molecule with a positive and a negative end |
Non-polar molecule | A molecule without a positive or negative end |
Solute | Whatever is BEING DISSOLVED into a solution (the smaller amt.) |
Solvent | Whatever is doing the dissolving in a solution (the larger amt.) |
Solution | |
Water is called the _______ _______ because its polar nature allows it to dissolve many things. | Universal Solvent |
Adhesion | Water molecules sticking to other things (ex. your window) |
Cohesion | Water molecules sticking to one another. |
Hydrogen bonding | Type of bonds holding multiple water molecules together |
Covalent bonding | Type of bonding between oxygen and hydrogen atoms within the SAME water molecule. |
"Like Dissolves Like" | The saying describing what type of solutions dissolve best in others. "Polar dissolves polar". "Non-polar dissolves non-polar". |
Viscosity | A substances resistance to flow. Thick substance = high viscosity Runny, thin substance = low viscosity |
Buoyancy | The ability or tendency of something to float. |
Boiling point | The temperature at which a substance goes through a phase change from a liquid to a gas. |
Freezing point | The temperature at which a substance goes through a phase change from a liquid to a solid. |
Surface Tension | A film created on the surface of a liquid caused by the attraction of particles in the surface area. |
Dissolving rate | The rate at which a solute dissolves completely into a solute |
Solubility | The max amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amt. of solvent at a given temperature. |
3 ways to increase the dissolving rate of a substance = | 1. Stir it 2. Crush it 3. Heat it |
Soluble | Dissolves |
Insoluble | Does not dissolve |
