| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Suspension | is a mixture containing particles that settle out if left undisturbed. |
| Colloid | a heterogeneous mixture of intermediate-sized particles (between atomic-scale size of solution particles are between 1nm and 1000nm in diameter and do not settle out. |
| Brownian motion | the dispersed particles of liquid colloids make jerky, random movements. |
| Tyndall effect | a phenomenon where dispersed colloid particles scatter light. |
| Soluble | a substance that dissolves in a solvent. |
| Miscible | two liquids that are soluble in each other in any proportion. |
| Insoluble | a substance that does not dissolve in a solvent. |
| Immiscible | two liquids that can be mixed together but separate shortly after. |
| Concentration | is a measure of how much solute is dissolved in a specific amount of solvent or solution. |
| Molarity | is the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution. |
| Molality | the ratio of the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1kg of solvent. |
| Mole fraction | the ratio of the number of moles of solute or solvent in solution to the total number of moles of solute and solvent. |
| Solvation | the process of surrounding solute particles with solvent particles to form a solution. |
| Heat of solution | the overall energy change that occurs during the solution formation process. |
| unsaturated solution | is one that contains less dissolved solute for a given temperature and pressure than a saturated solution. |
| Saturated solution | contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. |
| Supersaturated solution | contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature. |
| Henry’s law | states that at a given temperature, the solubility (S) of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure (P) of the gas above the liquid. |
| Colligative properties | physical properties of solutions that are affected by the number of particles but not by the identity of dissolved solute particles. |
| Vapor pressure lowering | is due to the number of solute particles in solution and is a colligative property of solutions. |
| Boiling point elevation | the temperature difference between a solution’s boiling point and a pure solvent’s boiling point. |
| Freezing point depression | is the difference in temperature between its freezing point and the freezing point of its pure solvent. |
| Osmosis | is the diffusion of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane. |
| Osmotic pressure | the amount of additional pressure caused by the water molecules that moved into the concentrated solution. |
