Another word for solution
homogenous
A solution is …
State?
1)A mixture of 2+ substances that looks like one
2)Any combination of state (Solid Liquid Gas)
Solvent
Substance GREATER in quantity
DOES the dissolving
Solute
Substance LESSER in quantity
Dissolves INTO the solvent
Concentrated solution
Solution with a relatively LARGE quantity of Solute compared to volume of the solution
Dilute Solution
Solution with a relatively SMALL quantity of solute compared to volume
Saturated solution
Solution containing MAXIMUM quantity of solute (At given temp and pressure)
Unsaturated Solution
Solution containing LESS than max quantity of solute (At given temp and pressure)
Supersaturated Solution
Solution containing MORE than max quantity of solute (Crystals form at given temp and pressure)
TO dissolve Ionic compounds one must…
Break the bonds within the compound
Water wins (what is state)
Aqueous
Water loses
Solid
Two processes of dissolving a Ionic compound
Dissociation & Hydration
Process of Dissociation
Ions separate from crystal lattice to dissolve into water
Process of Hydration
Ions are surrounded by water molecules (helps stabilize ions so that they don’t re-attach)
