Water and It's Solutions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| CAPILLARITY | the rising of a liquid in a narrow tube |
| COLLOID | a mixture that contains particles that are evenly distributed through a dispersing medium and do not settle out over time |
| DISSOCIATION | the process by which the charged particles in an ionic solid separate from one another, primarily when going into solution |
| HEAT OF SOLUTION | the heat taken in or released in the dissolving process |
| HYDROGEN BONDING | a connection between the hydrogen atoms on one molecule and a highly electronegative atom on another molecule, but not full covalent bond |
| OSMOSIS | the flow of molecules through a selectively permeable membrane driven by concentration difference |
| SATURATED SOLUTION | a solution that holds the maximum amount of solute under the given conditions |
| SPECIFIC HEAT | a measure of the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 degree C |
| SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION | a solution containing more solute than the usual maximum, they are unstable |
| SURFACE TENSION | the force needed to overcome intermolecular attractions and break through the surface of a liquid or spread the liquid out |
| TYNDALL EFFECT | the scattering effect caused when light passes through a colloid |
| UNSATURATED SOLUTION | a solution in which the amount of solute dissolved is less that the maximum that could be dissolved |
