Chapter 13/14 Vocabulary Flashcards
Define miscible
Two or more mutually soluble liquids. Ex: vinegar and water
Define effervescence
The escape of gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved (the hiss when you open a pop)
Define Immiscible
Two or more mutually insoluble liquids. Ex: oil and water
Define unsaturated solution
One that is still able to dissolve more solute for a given T and V
Define Supersaturated solution
One that has been forced to dissolve more then it should for a given T and V
Define solubility
Amount of solute that will form a saturated solution, given t&v of solvent
Define saturated solution
One that has dissolved the maximum
Define increased surface area
Achieved by crushing or grinding solute inTo fine particles
Define agitation
Stirring or shaking the solute/ solvent. Allows fresh solvent to contact undissolved solute rate increased
Define the change of temperature
Increased T will make collisions between solute and solvent to be more energetic and frequent. Rate increased but note some solutes dissolve better in cold solvents
Define electrolytes
Dissolve in solutions to yield ions and will support electric currents; usually ionic ally bonded
Define non electrolytes
Dissolve in solutions but will not support electric current, usually covalently bonded
Define Tyndall effect
Used to determine the difference between colloids and true solutions
Define suspension
When particles in a solid are too large to dissolve and they settle (heterogeneous) particle size is 1000nm+
Define colloids
When particles in a solvent are too large to dissolve but too small to settle out. Particle size 1-1000nm+
