Term | Definition |
---|---|
solvation | the clustering of solvent molecules around a solute particle |
hydration | salvation when the solvent is water |
crystallization | the process in which a dissolved solute comes out of solution and forms a crystalline solid |
saturated | a solution in which undissolved solute and dissolved solute are in equilibrium |
unsaturated | solutions containing less solute than a saturated solution |
supersaturated | solutions containing more solute than an equivalent saturated solution |
miscible | liquids that mix in all proportions |
immiscible | liquids that do not dissolve in one another to a significant extent |
Henry's law | a law stating that the concentration of a gas in a solution, c sub g, is proportional to the pressure of gas over the solution; C sub g =kP sub g |
mass percentage | the number of grams of solute in each 100 g of solution |
parts per million (ppm) | the concentration of a solution in grams of solute per 10^6 (million) grams of solution; equals milligrams of solute per liter of solution for aqueous solutions |
parts per billion (ppb) | the concentration of a solution in grams of solute per 10^9 (billion) grams of solution; equals micrograms of solute per liter of solution for aqueous solutions |
molarity | the concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per liter of solution; abbreviated M |
colligative property | those properties of a solvent (vapor-pressure lowering, freezing-piont lowering, boiling-piont elevation, osmotic pressure) that depend on the total concentration of solute particles present |
Raoult's law | a law stating that the partial pressure of a solvent over a solution, P sub A, is given by the vapor pressure of the pure solvent, P little circle sub A, times the mole fraction of a solvent in the solution, X sub A : P sub A =X sub A P little circle subA |
ideal solution | a solution that ovens Raoult's law |
molal boiling-point-elevation constant (K sub b) | a constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the increase in boiling point as a function of solution molality : delta T sub b = K sub b m |
molal freezing-point-depression constant (K sub f) | a constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the decrease in freezing point as a function of solution molality : delta T sub f = K sub f m |
osmosis | the net movement of solvent through a semipermeable membrane toward the solution with greater solute concentration |
osmotic pressure | the pressure that must be applied to a solution to stop osmosis from pure solvent into the solution |
colloids (colloidial dispersions) | mixtures containing particles larger than normal solutes but small enough to remain suspended in the dispersing medium |
Tyndall effect | the scattering of a beam of visible light by the particles in a colloidal dispersion |
hydrophilic | water attracting. the term is often used to describe a type of colloid |
hydrophobic | water repelling. the term is often used to describe a type of colloid |
