Properties of Solutions (4.1.1) Flashcards
• A solution is composed of a solvent and a solute.
• A solution is composed of a solvent and a solute.
• Many solutions are transparent because the particles in them are so small that they do not scatter light.
• Many solutions are transparent because the particles in them are so small that they do not scatter light.
• Solutes that separate into ions in a solution conduct electricity and are electrolytes.
• Solutes that separate into ions in a solution conduct electricity and are electrolytes.
Solvent + Solute = Solution
Solvent + Solute = Solution
Electrolyte
Particles that, in solution, enable the conduction of electricity.
Non-electrolyte
Substances in solution that do not enable the conduction of electricity.
