Q

What are the characteristics of a solution?

A
  • When solute is dispersed throughout a solvent
  • Uniform colour and appearance
  • Solution might be coloured, but uniform colour causes it to look clear
  • Transparent because tiny solute particles allow light to pass through
  • No residue when filtered

Q

What are the characteristics of a suspension?

A
  • Prevents light from passing through due to the size of the particles being large enough
  • Suspension will settle if left undisturbed, forming precipitate at the base
  • Residue left when filtered

Q

Why does a solute dissolve quicker at higher temperature?

A

Hot water particles have a higher kinetic energy and move at a faster speed, colliding against the sugar particles more frequently. The sugar particles are dispersed in the water faster.

Q

How does stirring effect the rate of solubility?

A

Stirring moves the water particles quickly and causes the water particles to collide against the sugar particles frequently

16
Q

How does the size of solute effect the rate of solubility?

A

The smaller the size of the solute, the bigger the total surface area that is exposed to the solvent particles

17
Q

What is a colloid?

A

A mixture of two or more solutes dispersed evenly in a solvent placed between a solution and a suspension as they do not produce clear mixture or sediments
