Mixtures and Solutions
Term | Definition |
---|---|
distillation | uses different boiling points of substances to separate them; is not used to separate colloids |
alloy | a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion. |
solubility | the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent |
colloid | particles are scattered throughout and block the passage of light |
solvent | the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution. |
mixture | a physical combination of two or more substances that are blended together without forming a new substance |
solute | the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent. |
solution | a mixture of substances that are blended so completely that the mixture looks the same everywhere (sugar water and cranberry juice) |
dilute | make (a liquid) thinner or weaker by adding water or another solvent to it |
chemical change example | baking soda and vinegar |
physical change example | colored water |
temperature and solubility related | The higher the temperature of the solvent, the higher the solubility. |
