Solution And Solubility Flashcards
What’s a solution
A homogenous mixture of two or more substance at a particular temperature and pressure
What is the solute?
The substance dissolved in a solvent to form a solution
What is a solvent?
The dissolving medium of a solution
What is solubility?
Amount of solute that the solvent can dissolve
What’s an unsaturated solution?
Is a solution that has not reached the limit of solute that will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature and pressure
What is a saturated solution?
A solution that contains as much solute as will dissolve at that temperature and pressure
What is Henry’s law?
It states that the pressure of the gas over a solution is directly proportionate to the solubility
True or false
Solubility of solid increase with temperature
True
True or false
Solubility of gases decrease with increase in temp
True
What is a supersaturated solution?
When a solution is saturated at an elevated temperature and then allowed to cool but all the solute it remains dissolved
Increase in pressure decreases the solubility of gases true or false
False increases
Does pressure have an effect on solid solute solubility?
No
What is the formula that Henry’s law gives?
Sg=k.Pg
What is hydrostatic pressure?
Pressure present wishing fluid at rest, increases with deeper oceans
Describe decompression sickness
Occurs when nitrogen that is dissolved in bloodstream exits the vessel inadequately as the diver ascends quickly to the top of the sea
