Question
Answer
Effloresce   To lose water of hydration; the process occurs when the hydrate has a vapor pressure higher than that of water vapor in the air.  
🗑
Solvation   A process that occurs when an ionic solute dissolves; in solution, solvent molecules surround the positive and negative ions  
🗑
Solute   Dissolved particles in a solution  
🗑
Solvent   The dissolving medium in a solution  
🗑
Surfactants   Any substance that interferes with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules and thereby reduces surface tension; soaps and detergents are surfactants.  
🗑
Desiccants   A hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent  
🗑
Colloids   A mixture whose particles are intermediate in size between those of suspension and a solute solution  
🗑
Hygroscopic   A term describing salts and other compounds that remove moisture from the air.\  
🗑
Aqueous   Water that contains dissolved substances  
🗑
Nonelectrolytes   A compound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state  
🗑
Liquids that have strong intermolecular attraction have what kind of surface tension?   High Surface Tension  
🗑
Why does ice float on water?    
🗑
What is the difference between solvent and solute?    
🗑
Why do ionic compounds dissolve more easily?   Because of free floating ions.  
🗑
Colligative Properties   A property of solution that depends only upon the number of solute particles, and not upon their identities; boiling-point elevation, freezing-point depression, and vapor-pressure lowering are colligative properties  
🗑
Henry's Law   At a given temperature the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid  
🗑
Boiling Point Elevation   The difference in temperature between the boiling point of a solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent  
🗑
Supersaturated Solution   A solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature; excess solute precipitates if a seed crystal is added  
🗑
Molality   The concentration of solute in a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kilogram (100 g) of solvent  
🗑
Saturated Solution   A solution containing the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure; an equilibrium exists between undissolved solute and ions in solution  
🗑
Molarity   The concentration of solute in a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 liter of solution  
🗑
Miscible   Describes liquids that dissolve in one another in all proportions  
🗑
Electrolytes   A compound that conducts an electric current when it is in an aqueous solution or in the molten state; all ionic compounds are electrolytes, but most covalent compounds are not  
🗑
Homogeneous   A mixture that is uniform in composition; components are evenly distributed and not easily distinguished  
🗑
Heterogeneous   A mixture that is not uniform in composition; components are not evenly distributed and not easily distinguished  
🗑
Suspension   A mixture from which some of the particles settle out slowly upon standing  
🗑
Solution   A homogeneous mixture; consists of solutes dissolved in solvent  
🗑
Brownian Motion   The chaotic movement of colloidal particles, caused by collision with particles of the solvent in which they are dispersed  
🗑
Tyndall Effect   Scattering of light particles in a colloid or suspension, which causes a beam of light to become visible  
🗑
Emulsion   The colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another  
🗑
Deliquescence   Describes a substance that removes sufficient water from the air to form a solution; the solution formed has a lower vapor pressure than that of the water in the air  
🗑
Freezing Point Depression   The difference in temperature between the freezing point of a solution and the freezing point of the pure solvent  
🗑
Concentration   A measurement of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent; usually expressed as mol/L  
🗑
3 Factors That Affect Dissolution    
🗑
What increases Solubility?    
🗑
Mole Fraction    
🗑
