solubility/diffusion Flashcards
soluble
can dissolve
insoluble
cannot dissolve
solute
substance that is dissolving
solute
substance that dissolves the solvent
solution
solute + solvent (mixture)
saturates
the max. solute that can dissolve in the solvent
solubility
the mass of solute that dissolves in 100cm3
suspension
insoluble solid mixed in a liquid
dissociate
particles separate, no longer touching
aqueous
dissolved in water (aq)
how does temp. affect solubility in solids
the solubility increases because more energy to break the bonds
how does temp. affect the solubility in gases
the solubility decreases because particles move further apart
diffusion
the random movement of particles that causes them to spread and mix, the net movement is from high conc. to low conc.
factors affecting diffusion
temp.
in gases because particles move faster
size or mass of particles- larger particles need more energy so move slower.
how can the rate of diffusion be shown
using a precipitation reaction
