Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is a solute? | The substance being dissolved in a solution. |
What is a solvent? | The substance present in a larger quantity that dissolves the solute. |
What are some ways to speed up the dissolving of a solid? | Increasing the temperature, stir the solution, or increasing the surface area. |
What is the difference between concentration and solubility? | Concentration is the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent, while solubility is the maximum amount of solvent that can be dissolved at a given temperature. |
What is a saturated solution? | A solution that holds all the solute it can at a certain temperature. |
What is an unsaturated solution? | Any solution that can dissolve more solute at a given temperature. |
What can a polar solution dissolve? | A polar solvent |
What are electrolytes? | Compounds that will form solutions with ions and solutions that can conduct electricity. |
The process in which molecular compounds dissolve in water and form charged particles is called ___________. | Ionization |
In what type of solution will crystals form? | A supersaturated solution. |
What are the effects of adding more solute to a solution? | It can raise the boiling point and decrease the freezing point. |
What is an alloy? | A mixture of elements with metallic properties. (bronze, steel, brass, etc.) |
What are some ways to make a gas dissolve more quickly in a liquid? | Decreasing the temperature of a solution, increasing pressure, not stirring it. |
What's it called when there is a small amount of solvent in a large amount of solute. | Dilute |
What is a non-electrolyte? | A substance that forms no ions in water and doesn't conduct electricity. |
