IPS Chemical Interactions Chapter 3 Section 2 Flashcards
Dilute solution
a mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent
Concentrated solution
a mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in the same amount of solvent
Solubility
a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature
Saturated solution
a mixture that contains as much dissolved solute as is possible at a given temperature
Unsaturated solution
a mixture that contains less dissolved solute that is possible at a given temperature
Supersaturated solution
a mixture that has more dissolved solute that is predicted by its solubility at the given temperature
What are three ways you can change the concentration of a solution:
- Adding more solute
- Adding more solvent
- Taking away solvent
How do you measure concentration?
To calculate the concentration of a solution, compare the amount of solute to the amount of solution and multiply it by 100 percent.
What are three factors that affect solubility?
- Pressure
- Type of Solvent
- Temperature
How does temperature affect the solubility of most solids?
For most solids, solubility increases as temperature increases.
