UNIT 2: Solutions
Covers Unit 3 over Water and Solutions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Polar molecule | A molecule with a positive and a negative end |
| Solute | Whatever is BEING DISSOLVED into a solution (the smaller amt.) |
| Solvent | Whatever is doing the dissolving in a solution (the larger amt.) |
| Solution | A blended combination of solute and solvent together. |
| Water is called the _______ _______ because its polar nature allows it to dissolve many things. | Universal Solvent |
| On a solubility curve, if a point is ON the line, the solution is ______. | saturated |
| "Like Dissolves Like" | The saying describing what type of solutions dissolve best in others. "Polar dissolves polar". "Non-polar dissolves non-polar". |
| Boiling point | The temperature at which a substance goes through a phase change from a liquid to a gas. |
| Freezing point | The temperature at which a substance goes through a phase change from a liquid to a solid. |
| Dissolving rate | The rate at which a solute dissolves completely into a solute |
| Solubility | How well a substance dissolves. |
| 3 ways to increase the dissolving rate of a solid = | 1. Stir it (Agitation) 2. Crush it (Smaller particles) 3. Heat it up (Increase Temp) |
| Soluble means the substance ___. | Dissolves |
| Insoluble means the substance _____. | Does not dissolve |
| On a solubility curve, if a point is ABOVE the line, the solution is ______. | Supersaturated |
| On a solubility curve, if a point is BELOW the line, the solution is ______. | unsaturated |
| Saturated means | just the right amount of solute dissolved. |
| Super-saturated means | too much solute was dissolved. |
| Unsaturated means | not enough solute was dissolved. You could dissolve more. |
