| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define a mixture. | 2 or more substances that are combined |
| Define solution | A well-mixed mixture that contains a solvent (biggest portion) and a solute (smallest portion). |
| What is a solvent and give an example? | largest part of a solution. Example: water in a soft drink |
| What is a solute and give an example? | smallest part of a solution Example: sugar in a soft drink |
| Name the universal solvent. | water |
| What is a colloid and give an example? | A mixture that contains small, undissolved particles that do not settle out. Examples: fog, milk, mayonnaise, cool whip |
| Define suspension and give an example. | A mixture that has particles big enough to see. Example: orange juice with pulp |
| Why would a car owner put coolant in his car? | The coolant is a solute that will lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent. The coolant will absorb more of the heat given off by the running engine so it will not overheat. It will keep the car from freezing, too. |
| Why is water the universal solvent? | Most things that can be dissolved can be dissolved by water. |
| Which part of a solution is present in the largest amount? | solvent |
| Which part of a solution is present in a smaller amount? | solute |
| What's the difference between a suspension and a solution? | A suspension will have more settled at the bottom than a solution. |
| What does a solute do to the boiling point of a solvent? | It raises the boiling point. |
| Dilute solution? | a solution with only a little solute in it so that it could hold more |
| concentrated solution? | A mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in it |
| Define solubility | how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature; no more solute can be dissolved at that temperature |
| What kind of solution holds all the solute it can hold at a certain temperature? | saturated solution |
| What kind of solution would be able to hold some more solute? | unsaturated solution |
| What kind of solution has more solute dissolved in it than you would expect at a given temperature? | supersaturated solution |
| What are 2 ways you can change the concentration of a solution? | decrease or remove solvent; decrease or increase solute |
| What 3 factors affect the solubility of a substance? | temperature, type of solvent, and pressure |
| List 3 characteristic properties of an acid? | sour taste, corrosive, reacts with carbonates |
| What does corrosive mean? | it reacts with meatls, and forms H2 gas bubbles |
| What forms when acids react with carbonates? | CO2 bubbles are formed |
| What is a compound that changes color when in contact with an acid or a base? | indicator |
| Name 3 properties that are characteristic of a base? | bitter taste, feels slippery, does not react with metals or carbonates |
