8.2 + 8.3 [UNIT 4] Flashcards
Electrolytes
a compound that dissolves in water, producing a solution that conducts electricity
(ex. sodium, potassium, chlorine, carbonate, phosphate)
Solubility
the quantity of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature
Solute
Substance least present in the solution
Solvent
Substance most present in the solution
Solution
Homogeneous mixture (of 2 or more substances)
(ex. sugar water, salt solutions, alcohol in water, alloys, brass)
Miscible
To be able to mix to form a solution
(ex. water and ethanol)
Immiscible
Cannot mix to form a solution in water
(ex. oil and water)
Saturated
a solution that contains the maximum quantity of solute at a given temperature and pressure
Unsaturated
a solution in which more solute can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure
Supersaturated
a solution
that contains more than the maximum quantity of solute that it should at a given temperature and pressure
Dissociation
Separation of ions from an ionic compound as it dissolves in water
Ionization
the formation of ions from uncharged molecules
