Term | Definition |
---|---|
Solution | A homogenous mixture of substances in the same physical state |
Solute | The substances dissolved in a solution |
Solvent | The substance in which the solute is dissolved |
Aqueous solution | A solution in which water is the solvent |
Trincture | a solution in which alcohol is the solvent |
Suspensions | large particles, solute will settle out |
Colloids | intermediate sized particles |
Solutions | small particles, solutions will not settle out |
Tyndall Effect | scatters light |
Miscible | when two substances may be mixed in all proportions |
Immisicble | when two substances cannot be mixed appreciabilty |
Saturated solution | a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
Percipitate | a deposit formed when excess solid solute is added to a saturated solution |
Unsaturated solution | solution that has not reached its saturation point |
Solubility | the amount of solute needed to produce a saturated solution with a given amount of solvent |
Supersaturated solution | a solution prepared at high temperatures, solution has more solute than it can hold, unstable |
Concentration | the quantity of solute relative to the quantity of solvent |
Dilute | solution containing a relatively small quantity of solute |
Concentrated | solution containing a relatively large quantity of solute |
Colligative Properties | effect of solute on solvent |
Vapor Pressure | pressure exerted by particles of vapor above a liquid |
Electrolytes | produce ions when they dissolve in soultion |
Dissociation | break up into ions |
