PRELIM LAB 3: DILUTION Flashcards
Is a HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE of two or more substances with each substances has its own chemical properties
SOLUTION
Components of a Solution
SOLUTE
SOLVENT
The component of a solution that is present in the GREATEST amount
- can be thought as a medium to dissolve a solute or solution
SOLVENT
Component of a solution that is present in LESSER amount
SOLUTE
A solution has a VARIABLE COMPOSITION that is…..
The ratio of solute to solvent may be varied
The properties of a solution changes as the ….
Ratio of solute and solvent is changed
________ of components at the particle level is a requirement
INTERMINGLING
The solutes remain ______ distributed throughout the solution and will NOT SETTLE OUT WITH TIME.
UNIFORMLY
A solution that contains the MAXIMUM amount of solute
SATURATED SOLUTION
Unstable solution that TEMPORARILY contains more dissolve solute
SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION
Solution that contains LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM amount of solute
UNSATURATED SOLUTION
- does not have to be saturated
- contains large amount of solute
- less solvent, more concentration
CONCENTRATED SOLUTION
- contains a small amount of solute
- more solvent, less concentration
DILUTE SOLUTION
- Process in which more solvent added to a solution in order to lower it’s concentration
