Chem 110-Chapter 8

QuestionAnswer
Aqueous Solution A solution in which water is the solvent.
Colligative Property A physical property of a solution that depends only on the number (concentration) of solute particles (molecules or ions) present in a given quantity of solvent and not on their chemical identities.
Colloidal Dispersion A mixture that contains dispersed particles that are intermediate in size between those of a true solution and those of an ordinary heterogenous mixture.
Concentrated Solution A solution that contains a large amount of solute relative to the amount that could dissolve.
Concentration The amount of solute present in a specified amount of solution.
Dialysis The process in which semipermeable membrane allows the passage of solvent, dissolved ions, and small molecules, but blocks the passage of colloidal-sized particles and large molecules.
Dilute Solution A solution that contains a small amount of solute relative to the amount that could dissolve.
Dilution The process in which more solvent is added to a solution in order to lower its concentration.
Hypertonic Solution A solution with a higher osmotic pressure than that found within cells.
Hypotonic Solution A solution with a lower osmotic pressure than that found within cells.
Isotonic Solution A solution with an osmotic pressure that is equal to that within cells.
Mass-volume Percent The mass of solute in a solution (in grams) divided by the total volume of solution (in millimeters), multiplied by 100.
Molarity The moles of solute in a solution divided by the liters of solution.
Nonaqueous Solution A solution in which a substance other than water is the solvent.
Osmolarity The product of a solutions molarity and the number of particles produced per formula unit if the solute dissociates.
Osmosis The passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane separating a dilute solution (or pure solvent) from a more concentrated solution.
Osmotic Pressure The pressure that must be applied to prevent the net flow of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a solution of lower concentration to a solution of higher concentration.
Percent by Mass The mass of solute in a solution divided by the total mass of solution, multiplied by 100.
Percent by Volume The volume of solute in a solution divided by the total volume of solution, multiplied by 100.
Saturated Solution A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved under the conditions at which the solution exists.
Semipermeable Membrane A membrane that allows certain types of molecules to pass through it but prohibits the passage of other types of molecules.
Solubility The maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent under a particular set of conditions.
Solute A component of a solution that is present in a lesser amount relative to that of the solvent.
Solution A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity.
Solvent The component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount.
Supersaturated Solution An unstable solution that temporarily contains more dissolved solute than that present in a saturated solution.
Unsaturated Solution A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved under the conditions at which the solution exists.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
