solution Flashcards
the component that is dissolved in solvent – usually in smaller amount
solute
medium (often water) into which solutes are mixed, usually in greater amount
solvent
when water is the solvent
aqueous solution
describes how much solute there is in a solution
concentration
small amount of solute concentrated.
dilute
solute cannot be dissolved anymore
saturated
no presence of solute
unsaturated
solute dissolved in solvent
concentrated
amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of a saturated solution
solubility
Vapor pressure is the tendency of liquid to transform into a gaseous state // when liquid starts boiling and evaporating
vapor pressure lowering
boiling point of the pure solvent (Tb) plus the change in boiling point of the solution (△Tb)
boiling point
Freezing point depression is defined as the freezing point of the pure solvent (Tf) minus the change freezing point of the solution (△Tf)
freezing point
is the pressure/force required to stop osmosis
osmotic pressure
high concentration to low
hypertonic
low to high concentration
hypotonic
