| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Solution | a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase |
| Solute | the substance dissolved in a solution |
| soluble | capable of being dissolved |
| Solvent | the substance doing the dissolving |
| Colloid | A mixture consisting of particles that are INTERMEDIATE in size between those in solutions and suspensions. |
| Suspension | A mixture in which the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated. |
| Electrolyte | a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current. |
| nonelectrolyte | a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current |
| Rate of dissolution is affected by increasing---- | Surface Area |
| Rate of dissolution is affected by ------- the solution | Agitating |
| Rate of dissolution is affected by -------- a solvent | Heating |
| Solute Equilibrium | the physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates |
| solvated | a solute particle that is surrounded by the solvent molecules |
| Hydration | the solution process with water as the solvent |
| solubility value | the solubility of a substance is the amount of that substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of a solvent at a specified temperature |
| Henry's law | solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas on the surface of a liquid ex: carbonated beverages, scuba diving |
| Effervescence | the rapid escape of a gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved |
| Solids-Liquids Pressure affects it True or False | False |
| Gas-Liquids Pressure affects it true or false | True |
| Heat of solution | the net amount of heat energy absorbed or released when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent |
| concentration | a measure of the amount of a solute in a given solvent or solution |
| Precipitate | solid that forms when two solutions mix (indicates a chemical reaction |
| dissasociation | separation of ions that occurs when ionic compound dissolve in water |
| Tyndall Effect | Light scattered by colloidal particles dispersed in a medium |
