Chapter 7- Solutions Flashcards
Colloid
A mixture consisting of tiny particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and those in suspensions and that are suspended in a liquid, solid, or gas
Emulsion
Any mixture of two or more immiscible liquids in which one liquid is dispersed in the other
Solution.
A homogenous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase
Solute
In a solution the substance that dissolves in the solvent
Solvent
In a solution the substance in which the solute dissolves
Alloy
A solid or liquid mixture of two or more metals
Heterogenous mixture
Composed of dissimilar components
Decanting
gradually pour liquid from one container into another, especially without disturbing the sediment.
Immiscible
When two liquids can Seperate
Tyndall effect
Scattering of light
Polar compound
A molecule that has an uneven distribution of electrons
Hydrogen bonding
The intermolecular force occurring when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom of one molecule is attracted to two unshared electrons of another molecule
Solubility
The maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure
Concentration
The amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture, solution or ore
Unsaturated solution
A solution that contain less solute than a saturated solution does and that is able to dissolve additional solute
