12a Flashcards
Homogeneous mixtures of variable composition in a single phase
Solutions
The most abundant substance in a solution
Solvent
Dissolved substances in a solution
Solutes
If two liquids mix to form a homogeneous mixture, they are considered
Miscible
A solution containing mercury
Amalgam
The process in which solvent particles surround and interact with solutes; the dissolving process in solid-in-liquid solutions
Solvation
A type of solvation in which water molecule surround and interact with solute particles
Hydration
A type of solvation in which an ionic compound forms ions when it dissolves in a solvent
Dissociation
A type of solvation in which A covalent compound forms ions when it dissolves in a solvent
Ionization
The net energy change during the dissolving process. It is expressed in kJ/mol
Enthalpy (heat) of solution
The inability of a solute to dissolve in a certain solvent
Insoluble
When a solution contains more dissolved solute than it does at equilibrium
Supersaturation
The escape of a gas from a liquid-gas solution
Effervescence
