Lecture 5 done Flashcards
What is a solution?
homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
How can solutions and dispersions be distingushed?
Light scattrng. Dispersions are usually cloudy
What is concentration?
amount of substance/unit of measure
What is isotonic?
Concentration is equal inside and outside the cell
What is hypertonic?
Concentration outside cell is greater causing cell to shrink
What is hypotonic?
Cancentration outside cell is low, causing cell to expand.
what is molarity?
moles of solute is 1 L of solution
What is molality?
moles of solute/ 1000 g solvent
mole fraction
moles/total moles
percent by weight
%w/w, grams of solute/100g solution
percent weight in volume
%w/v, grams of solute/100mL solution
Which concentrations change with temperature?
%w/v, %v/v, M
