Mixtures, Solutions, Solubility, Chemical Reactions
Term | Definition |
---|---|
mixture | two or more substances sharing the same space that can be separated by physical means |
heterogeneous mixture | a mixture in which you can identify all the parts |
homogeneous mixture | a mixture that looks the same throughout and you cannot identify the parts |
solution | a homogeneous mixture in which the parts are completely dissolved and is clear |
suspension | a heterogeneous mixture in which the parts are heavy enough that they eventually settle to the bottom |
colloid | a homogeneous mixture that has particles large enough to scatter the light, therefore you cannot see through it. |
solubility | the ability to dissolve |
solute | the substance that is being dissolved |
solvent | the substance that is doing the dissolving |
unsaturated | a liquid solution that can still hold more solute |
saturated | a solution that cannot hold anymore solute; it is full |
supersatured | a solution that is holding more solute than it should be able to |
concentrated | a solution that is holding a lot of solute, or have very little solvent |
dilute | a solution that is not holding very much solute, or has a lot of solvent. |
soluble | able to dissolve |
insoluble | not able to dissolve |
Pure Substance | A substance that is not mixed with anything else |
Physical Change | A change that does not alter the identity of a substance |
Chemical Change | A change that produces a new substance after the reaction. |
Distillation | A method to separate liquids based upon different boiling points |
Evaporation | A simple method used to separate solid solutes from liquid solvents |
Filtration | A method to separate undissolved solids from liquids |
pH | a way of measuring how acidic or basic a solution is |
Acidic pH | a pH of less than 7 |
Basic pH | a pH of more than 7 |
Neutral pH | a pH of exactly 7 |
Law of Conservation of Mass | Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change forms |
reactants | the substances that mix to form a reaction |
products | the new substance that is produced after a chemical reaction |
