abound all around us and even within us
solutions and colloids
if you drop a lump of sugar into a glass of water, the sugar gradually disappears– it
dissolves
the mixture of sugar and water is ____________ and is said to be a solution
homogenous (same throughout)
a homogenous mixture of two or more substances
solution
the substance that does the dissolving
solvent
the substance dissolved is the
solute

miscible
two parts of a solution
solute (dissolved)
solvent (doing the dissolving)
liquids, such as gasoline and water or carbon tetrachloride and water, that do not dissolve in each other to any significant extent are
immiscible
typically, whatever has more of it in solution is the
solvent (dissolver)
an ion or molecule surrounded by water molecules is
hydrated
for solvents other than water and for solvents in general, the more general term for hydrated is
solvated
the process in which solute molecules or ions are surrounded by solvent molecules is known as
solvation
a solution is formed by either
solvation or hydration
process in which the solvent is water
hydration
