Term
Definition
solution   a homogeneous mixture that will not separate  
🗑
suspension   a mixture in which some of the particles settle out slowly upon standing  
🗑
solute   the dissolved particles in a solution; the part of the solution smaller in amount  
🗑
solvent   the dissolving medium in a solution; the part of the solution larger in amount  
🗑
mixture   a blend of two or more substances that are not chemically combined  
🗑
alloy   a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal  
🗑
emulsion   a nonpolar substance held in suspension in a polar substance by a molecule that has both a polar and nonpolar end  
🗑
electrolyte   a solution that will conduct electricity  
🗑
non-electrolyte   a substance that will not conduct electricity when put in solution because it does not form ions  
🗑
surfactant   a substance that interferes with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules and reduces surface tension  
🗑
homogeneous mixture   a mixture that is uniform in composition, mixed evenly throughout  
🗑
heterogeneous mixture   a mixture that is not uniform in composition, not mixed evenly throughout  
🗑
miscible   two liquids that dissolve in each other in all proportions  
🗑
immiscible   two liquids that do not dissolve in each other  
🗑
solubility   the amount of substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solute at a specific temperature and pressure  
🗑
insoluble   a substance that will not dissolve in a solute is said to be _________  
🗑
saponifiation   the process of making soap  
🗑
saturated solution   a solution in which the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve has been added to the solute  
🗑
unsaturated solution   a solution in which less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve has been added to the solute  
🗑
supersaturated solution   a temporary condition in which a solution contains more solute than the standard amount at a given temperature  
🗑
colligative properties   properties that depend only upon the number of solute particles present  
🗑
freezing point depresssion   the difference in temperature between the freezing point of the pure solvent and the freezing point of the solution (the solution will be lower)  
🗑
colloid   a heterogeneous mixture that will not settle out when you stop stirring it  
🗑
molarity   a measurement of the concentration of a solution (moles of solute per liter of solution)  
🗑
parts per million   a way of expressing very dilute concentrations of substance; one part solute in 1 million parts of the solution  
🗑
molality   a measurement of the concentration of a solution (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent)  
🗑
percent by weight   a measurement of the concentration of a component in a mixture; the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the mixture, multiplied by 100%.  
🗑
boiling point elevation   the difference in temperature between the boiling point of the pure solvent and the boiling point of the solution (the solution will be higher)  
🗑
concentration   a measure of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent  
🗑
aqueous solution   a solution made by dissolving a solute in water  
🗑
soluble   a substance that will dissolve in a solute is said to be _________  
🗑
