Chapter 7 Solutions, Other Mixtures, Solubility and Concentration
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Suspension | a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, but over time, does not stay mixed. |
Colloid | a mixture consisting of tiny particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions and that are suspended in liquid, solid, or gas |
Emulsion | any mixture of two or more immiscible liquids in which one liquid is dispersed in the other |
Alloy | a solid or liquid mixture of two or more metals |
Solution | a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase |
Solute | in a solution, the substance that is dissolved |
Solvent | in a solution, the substance that does the dissolving |
Mixture | a combination of two or more pure substances that are not chemically combined |
Heterogeneous Mixture | a mixture in which the substances are not uniformly distributed |
Homogeneous Mixture | a mixture in which the substances are uniformly distributed |
Polar Compound | a molecule that has an uneven distribution of electrons |
Hydrogen Bonding | the intermolecular force occurring when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom of one molecule is attracted to two unshared electrons of another molecule |
Non-Polar Compound | a compound whose electrons are equally distributed among its atoms |
Solubility | the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure |
Unsaturated Solution | a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution does and that is able to dissolve additional solute |
Saturated Solution | a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute under the given conditions |
Supersaturated Solution | a solution that holds more dissolved solute than is required to reach equilibrium at a given temperature |
Concentrated | a relative term describing a solution with a large amount of solute |
Dilute | a relative term describing a solution with a small amount of solute |
Molarity | an expression of the concentration of a solution in moles of dissolved solute per liter of solution |
Concentration | the amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture, solution, or ore |
