| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter | anything with mass and takes up space |
| Mixture | a blend of two or more kinds of matter; mixed together physically and can usually be separated |
| Heterogeneous mixtures | not uniform throughout |
| Homogeneous mixtures | are uniform throughout; also called "solutions" |
| Solvent | the dissolving medium in a solution |
| Solute | the substance being dissolved in a solution |
| Alloys | solid solutions in which the atoms of two or more metals are uniformly mixed |
| Suspensions | mixtures more or less evenly6 dispersed throughout a liquid or gas |
| Colloids | particles that are intermediate |
| Tyndall effect | the particles are large enough to scatter light |
| Solubility | The ability of a substance to be dissolved |
| pH | the measurement of the concentration of H+ ions |
| Neutral | neither acid nor base |
| pOH | concentration of OH0- ions |
| Electrolytes | solutions that conduct electricity because of the free movement of ions. |
| Buffers | help prevent a change in pH or pOH |
| The Buffer in the human body's blood is Bicarbonate (HCO3) | |
| Most Acids and bases are great electrolytes. | |
| matter can be classified as a pure substance or as a mixture | |
| Solutions are homogeneous mixtures in a single phase | |
| Solutions exist as solids, liquids, or gases | |
| example of alloys: brass (made of zinc and copper) silver (made of silver and copper) | |
| advantages of alloys include higher strength and greater resistance to corrosion | |
| example of suspensions: muddy water |
