Question | Answer |
---|---|
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. |
