CHEM SOLUTIONS Flashcards
is a mixture of 2 or more substances in a single phase.
solution
One constituent is usually regarded as the __________ and the others as __________.
solvent and solutes
the part of a solution that is being dissolved (usually the lesser amount)
SOLUTE
the part of a solution that dissolves the solute (usually the greater amount)
SOLVENT
Solute + Solvent =
Solution
if two liquids dissolve in each other in any proportion as in water and alcohol
Miscible
when two liquid components form a single phase when mixed in certain proportions but form two phases when mixed in different proportions like benzene and water
Partially Miscible
when two components are insoluble in each other like water and mercury
Immiscible
contains the maximum quantity of solute that dissolves at that temperature.
Saturated solution
contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a particular temperature
Unsaturated solution
contain more solute that a solvent can dissolve at a given temperature
Supersaturated solutions
are unstable
only temporary, and usually accomplished in one of two way
Supersaturated solutions
when there is evolution of heat during its formation, thus when the components of this solution are mixed, the solution becomes hot, like NaOH in water
Exothermic solution
when there is absorption of heat during its formation, thus when the components of this solution are mixed, the solution becomes cold
Endothermic solution
a solution which contains a relatively large amount of solute
Dilute solution
a solution which contains a relatively large amount of solute
Concentrated solution
solution with the same concentration as the standard Normal Saline Solution (0.85 – 0.9% NaCl is isotonic with the concentration of salt in the blood)
Isotonic solution
solution whose concentration is lower than the standard
Hypotonic Solution
solution whose concentration is greater than the standard
Hypertonic Solution
are non-settling.

are clear even when colored.
Solutions
are diffusible
