Chapter 12 Flashcards
Homogeneous mixture
Uniform
Heterogeneous
Not uniform
Solution
Homogenous mixture
Colloid
Medium sized particles that get trapped
Suspension
Large particles in solvents
Solute
The substance dissolves in a solution
Solvent
The thing being dissolved
Alloy
Solid dissolves in a solid (metal)
Tyndall effect
Used to distinguish solution and colloid- light passes solution- doesn’t colloid
Electrolyte
A substance dissolved in water that’s conducts a electric current
Factors that effect the rate of dissolution
-increasing surface area
-agitating the solution
-heating the solvent
Solubility
The limit to the amount of solute that can be dissolved
Saturated, unsaturated, supersaturated
Max amount, less, more
Molarity
The number of moles of solute in one litter of water
Molarity equation
M=mol/L
