Solutions
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Soluble | Something capable of being dissolved |
Solution | It is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed in a single phase |
Solvent | The dissolving medium in a solution |
Solute | The substance dissolved in a solution |
Suspension | It is when the particles in a solvent is large that they settles out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated. |
Colloids | Particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions form mixtures |
Tyndall effect | It is a property that can be to distinguish between a solution and a colloid. |
Electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current. |
Non electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conducts electric current |
Solution equilibrium | It is the physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates. |
Saturated solution | A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
Unsaturated solution | A solution that contains less solute that saturated solution under the existing condition. |
Supersaturated solution | A solution that contains more dissolved solute that saturated solution contains under the same conditions. |
Solubility | It is the amount of that substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specific temperaure. |
Hydration | The solution process with water as a solvent |
Immiscible | Liquids that are not soluble in each other |
Miscible | Liquids that are dissolved freely in one another in any proportion |
Henry's law | It states that the solubility of gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid. |
Effervescence | The rapid escape of gas from liquid in which it is dissolved |
Enthalpy of solution | The net amount of energy absorbed as heat by the solution when a specific amount of solute dissolve in a solvent. |
Concentration | It is the measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution |
Molarity | It is the number of moles of solutes in one liter of solution |
Molality | It is the concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solutes per kilogram of solvent. |
