Chem Solution Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Solution | A homogenous mixture that is uniform throughout |
| solvent | any substance that has other substances dissolved in it |
| solute | the substances that are present in the solutions/substance dissolved in solution |
| Variable composition | different ratios of solvent to solute are possible |
| Aqueous solution | water is the solvent |
| Miscible | liquids that dissolve easily with eachother |
| Immiscible | liquids that do not dissolve easily with eachother |
| alloy | solid solutions of metals |
| solubility | the amount of solute that dissolves in a given quality of solvent at a certain temperature |
| saturated solution | no more solute will dissolve in a solution at a specific temperature |
| unsaturated solution | not yet saturated and can be dissolved more |
| Ionic bonds | high solubility and conducts electricity when dissolved in water |
| polar molecule | partial - charge on one end and partial + charge on the other |
| Non-polar molecule | has neither a + or - pole |
| Rate of dissolving | how quickly a solvent dissolves in a solvent |
| Intermolecular forces | Forces that bond molecules to eachother |
| Intramolecular forces | forces that bond atoms within a molecule |
| dipole | two opposite charges that are seperated by a short distance |
| dipole attractions | attraction between the opposite charges on two different polar molecules |
| hydrogen bonding | when O2 atom on one molecule and the H atoms on a nearby molecule bond |
| Ion dipole attractions | attracted forces between an ion and a polar molecule |
| hydrated ion | ions in an aqueous solution and is surrounded by water molecules |
| electrolyte | a solute that makes a aqueous solution that conducts electricity |
| non-electrolyte | soluble covalent compounds do not conduct electricity |
| End point | a point in the titration that shows the finishing of titration by a change in color or intensity of the solution |
| Equivalence point | the concentrations of the titrate and titrant are chemically equivalent |
