Chem Test 6 Flashcards
Solution
Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
Solute
component of a solution present in lesser quantity
Solvent
component of solution present in greatest quantity
Aqueous Solution
solvent is water
Most common example of solution formation
dissolution of a solid in a liquid
Air
Solution
Allows
Solution
Electrolytes
formed from solutes that are soluble ionic compounds
Compounds dissociate in solution to produce ions that behave as charge carriers
Good Conductors of Electricity
Non Electrolytes
formed from nondissociating molecular solutes (non electrolytes) and these solutions are non conductiong
True Solution
homogeneous mizture with uniform properties through out
Solute cannot be isolated from solution via filtration
Volumes of Solvents and Solutes are not
additive
Volume of Solvents and Solute are determined by
the way molecules fit together
Only way to determine the identity of all substance in a liquid to distinguid between pure substance and a solution
Chemical Analysis
Pure Substance
Has 1 component
True Solution
Contain more than 1 substance, with the tiny particles homogeneously intermingled.
Colloidal Suspension
Consist of solute particles distributed throughout a solvent
distribution is not completely homogeneous, due to size of colloidal particles
Colloid Particle Size
1 nm - 200 nm
Solution Particle Size
Smaller than 1 nm
