What are the primary parts to a solution? Solute and solvent
What is a solute? The substance present in lesser amount by mass or volume
What is a solvent? The substance present in greater amount by mass or volume
What does the solvent do? It determines the physical state of the solution
How can solutions be classified? Solutions can be classified into 3 types based on the saturation
What does unsaturated mean? It means that the solution has less than the maximum amount of solute possible
What does saturated mean? It means that the solution has more than the maximum amount of possible
What does supersaturated mean? It means when, under special conditions of temperature and pressure, certain solute/solvent combinations can be formed in a supersaturated state
What is true about supersaturated solutions? Most won't form
Who was the first person to suggest that stoms existed? Democritus (Greek)
What did Democritus do? He speculated that all of matter was comprised of small particles
What did Democritus call the small particles that matter was made of? Atomos
Who developed "The Law of Conservation of Matter?" Antoine Lavoisier
What does "The Law of Conservation of Matter" state? Matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reaction
What did Joseph Proust do? He discovered that compounds are made up of elements that exist in fixed proportions by mass in 1793
Who was Joseph Proust He was an English mathematition
What does "The Law of Definite Proportions by Mass" state? Compounds are made up of elements that exist in fixed proportions by mass
