Chapter 9 Science/ Solutions Flashcards
Combination of substances that can be separated by physical means and can be either the same throughout (homogenous) or have different parts with different compositions (heterogenous)
Mixture
Homogenous mixture made up of two or more materials where one material seems to disappear into the other; can be unsaturated, saturated or supersaturated and can be classified as gaseous , liquid, or solid.
Solution
In a solution, the substance that dissolves the solute.
Solvent
Solution in which water is the solvent
Aqueous
Maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent; can be affected by temperature and pressure.
Solubility
Solution that contains the total amount of solute that it can hold under specific conditions.
Saturated
Measure of the amount of solute in a solution compared to the amount of solvent.
Concentration
Solution that contains a large amount of solute per given amount of solvent.
Concentrated
Solution that contains a small amount of solute per given amount of solvent.
Dilute
Substances that contain hydrogen and produce hydronium ions when they dissolve in water.
Acid
Substance that produces hydroxide ions when they dissolve in water
Base
A measure of how acidic or basic the solution is.
pH
Compound that reacts with acidic and basic solutions and changes color at different pH values.
