Solutions Flashcards
Homogenous mixtures
solutions
solution’s component of smaller size
solute
solution’s component of larger size
solvent
When one substance (solute) dissolves in another (solvent) it is said to be
soluble
When one substance does not dissolve in
another it is said to be
insoluble
The solubility of one substance in another
depends on what two factors
nature’s tendency toward mixing
and
the types of intermolecular attractive forces
two liquids that are mutually soluble are said to be
miscible
The maximum amount of solute that can be
dissolved in a given amount of solvent is called the
solubility
why does mixing happen?
entropy
disorder
mess
has less energy and near stable
noble gas
what happens to a solution when the solute to solvent interactions are greater than everything?
the solution forms
what happens to a solution when the solute to solvent interactions are equal to the solute to solute and solvent to solvent
solution forms
what happens to a solution when the solute to solvent interactions are less than everything?
solution may or may not form
when compounds dissolve, heat is released called?
heat of solution
amount of energy released when positive and negative forces attract each other
crystal lattice energy
