1 a) States of Matter Flashcards
Diffusion
Random movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration.
Saturated Solution
A solution that contains as much dissolved solid as possible at a particular temperature.
Solubility
The mass of solute which must dissolve in 100g of solvent to form a saturated solution at a particular temperature.
Boiling
Liquid to a gas
Condensation
Gas to a liquid
Deposition
Gas to a solid
Dilute (dilution)
Added water to make a solution weaker
Evaporation
Liquid to a gas at a temperature below the boiling point from the surface of the liquid only.
Freezing
Liquid to a solid
Insoluble
Does not dissolve in a particular solvent
Melting point
The temperature at which a substance changes its state from a solid to a liquid. Pure substances have a fixed melting point but a mixture may melt over a range of temperatures.
Solubility Curve
Graph showing how the solubility of a solute changes with temperature.
Solute
Substance that dissolves
Solution
Mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent
Solvent
Liquid that a solute dissolves in
