Chapter 12 Flashcards
Capable of being dissolved
Soluble
A homogeneous mixture of two or more substaces in a single phase.
Solution
The dissolving medium in a solution
Solvent
The substance dissolved in a solution
solute
When the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated
Suspension
Mixtures formed by particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions.
Colloids
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current
electrolyte
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current.
nonelectrolyte
The physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates.
Solution Equilibrium
A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute.
Saturated Solution
A solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions
unsaturated solution
A solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same condtions
supersaturated solution
The amount of that substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature.
Solubility
A solution process with water as the solvent
Hydration
Liquids that are not soluble in each other
immiscible
Liquids that dissolve freely in one another in any proportion
miscible
The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid.
Henry’s law
The rapid escape of a gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved
effervescence
A solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules
solvated
The net amount of solute dissolves in a solvent
enthalpy of solution
a measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution
concentration
The number of moles of solute in one liter of solution
Molarity
The concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
Molality
