science A 1+2 Flashcards
hydraulic system
uses fluids under pressure to move loads like a fire fighter ladder
solubility
ability to dissolve; defined as how much of a solute will dissolve in a particular amount of a solvent.
solvent
substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution
e.x. water/ liquids that can dissolve something
solution
homogeneous (meaning same) mixture- mixture of two or one pure substance that looks like one substance
solute
substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution e.x is the salt dissolving in water
saturation point
point at which no more solute (ex salt)can be dissolved
hydrometer
device used to measure the density of a liquid
a fluid
any matter that has no fixed shape, can flow and takes the shape of container is a liquid or gas state
homogeneous (mostly mixture)
a mixture that looks as if all the substances mixed is just one substance ( you cannot see the different mixtures mixed in)
heterogeneous mixture
a mixture in which all the different substances can be seen when mixing
colloid
cloudy mixture in which the droplets or tiny particles are too small to separate out
unsaturated
solution in which more solute (ex. salt) can be dissolved at a given temperature
concentration (maybe)
ability to dissolve the mass of a solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature
pneumatic system
uses a gas under pressure to move loads (using compressed gases)
how do particles move in a solid, liquid, and gas?
solids- movement is like wiggling in one place
liquids-particles are sliding around and over eachother
gas- moving as far as the space they can
