Gen chem Flashcards
the amount of solute
dissolved in a given
amount of solution
Concentration
a homogeneous mixture
of one or more solutes
dissolved in a solvent
Solution
Is a mixture in which the
composition is uniform
throughout the mixture.
Homogeneous mixture
Is a mixture in which
the composition is
NOT uniform
throughout the
mixture.
Heterogeneous mixture
Is the phase change involves a gain
or absorption of heat by the
substance from the environment.
ENDOTHERMIC
It involves loss or release of heat by
the substance to the environment
Exothermic
Temperature at
which the solid
melts to form a
liquid
Melting point
Temperature at
which the liquid
starts to boil
Boiling point
Is when heat is removed or cooling a
liquid decreases the kinetic energy of
the particles until they are unable to
move and remain in fixed positions.
freezing
It is the temperature at which the
liquid freezes to form the solid
freezing point
Is the process where the particles
escape and enter the vapor or gas
phase above the liquid
Evaporation or vaporation
● Gas to Liquid
● The reverse process of evaporation
● This happens as particles in the vapor
phase are cooled.
Condensation
● Change from solid to gas without
passing the liquid state
● Reverse of Deposition
Sublimation
● Change from gas to solid phase
without passing the liquid phase.
● The reverse of sublimation
Deposition
show how the temperature changes
as a substance is heated up.
Heat curves
show how the temperature changes
as a substance is cooled down.
Cooling curves
remain constant
Plateau
● is a homogeneous
mixture of one or more
solutes dissolved in a
solvent.
Solution
● Where one substance is
dissolved into another.
● Uniform all throughout
which makes it homogenous
Solution
● degree to which a substance dissolves
in a solvent to make a solution (usually
expressed as grams of solute per litre of solvent).
Solubility
Is when two liquids can be
mixed to form a solution
Miscible
Is when two liquids cannot
be mixed to form a solution
Immiscible
*The substance that does the dissolving
● Any substance, generally liquid, which
is capable of dissolving one or multiple
substances, which produces a solution.
Solvent
● Substance that is dissolved in a solution
● The particles of solute in a solution cannot be
seen by the naked eye.
● A solution does not allow beams of light to
scatter.
