ch. 10- solutions, solubility, and concentration Flashcards
solution
a homogenous mix. with same concentration, color, density, and taste
solute
substance being dissolved
solvent
substance doing dissolving
solution takes state of _______
solvent
what are the 3 ways to speed up dissolving process
- stirring
- increase the surface area
- and increase the temp.
what is the purpose of the 3 methods (speeding dissolving)
to bring more solvent in contact with solute
solubility
max. amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a temp.
what are solutions described as
saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated
saturated
contains as much solute the solvent can hold at a given temp.
unsaturated
a solution that has less than the max. amount of solute that can be dissolved
supersaturated
solution that contains more solute than can be held at a given temp.
- very unstable
3 types of concentration:
% of volume,% of mass, and molarity
% by volume
volume of solute/ volume of solution x 100%
ex. juice gives % of “real juice”
% by mass
mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100%
- typically used when the solute is a solid
molarity
moles of solute/ moles of solution
