Chapter 16-Solutions Flashcards
saturated solution
the solution has maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at constant temperature.
solubility
the amount of solute that dissolves a given amount of solvent
unsaturated solution
a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature
miscible
when two liquids dissolve in all proportions
immiscible
liquids that cannot dissolve in one another
supersaturated solution
when a solution contains more solute at a constant temperature
Henry’s law
the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure. (coke bottle)
concentration
the amount of the solute in a given quantity of solvent
dilute solution
a solution that contains a small amount of solute
concentrated solution
a solution that contains a large amount of solute
molarity (M)
M=m/L
colligative property
a property that depends only upon the number of solute particles and not on what they are
freezing- point depression
(a colligative property) the difference in temperature between the freezing point of a solution and the freezing point of the pure solvent.
boiling point elevation
(a colligative property) the difference in temperature between the boiling point of a solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent.
molality (m)
moles of solute/ kilogram of solvent
