Ch 13: Solutions

Question 1

soluble

Answer 1

capable of being dissolved

Question 2

solution

Answer 2

a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase

Question 3

solvent

Answer 3

the dissolving medium in a solution

Question 4

solute

Answer 4

the substance dissolved in a solution

Question 5

suspension

Answer 5

if the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated, the mixture is called a suspension

Question 6

colloids

Answer 6

particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions form mixtures known as colloidal dispersion’s, or colloids

Question 7

electrolyte

Answer 7

a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current

Question 8

nonelectrolyte

Answer 8

a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current

Question 9

solution equilubrium

Answer 9

the physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates

Question 10

saturated solution

Answer 10

a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute

Question 11

unsaturated solution

Answer 11

a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions

Question 12

supersaturated solution

Answer 12

a solution that contains more dissolved solute than as saturated solution contains under the same conditions

Question 13

solubility

Answer 13

the solubility of a substance is the amount of that substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature

Question 14

hydration

Answer 14

the solution process with water as the solvent; ions are referred to as hydrated

Question 15

immiscible

Answer 15

liquid solutes and solvents that are not soluble in each other

Question 16

miscible

Answer 16

liquids that dissolve freely in one another in any proportion

Question 17

Henry’s law

Answer 17

the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to
the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of liquid

Question 18

effervescence

Answer 18

the rapid escape of a gas from a liquid in which it

Question 19

solvated

Answer 19

a solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules

Question 20

heat of solution

Answer 20

the net amount of heat energy absorbed or released when an specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent

Question 21

heat of solution

Answer 21

the net amount of heat energy absorbed or released when an specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent

Question 22

concentration

Answer 22

the measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution

Question 23

molarity

Answer 23

the number of moles of solute in one liter of solution

Question 24

molarity

Answer 24

the concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
