Solutions Flashcards
Solution
Homogenous mixture
Properties of a solution
- Transparent
- Cannot be filtered
- Particles are evenly distributed
What are the two parts of a solution?
Solute and solvent
Solute
That which dissolves in a solvent
Solvent
That which dissolves the solute
Iodine dissolves in ethanol. Label the solute and solvent
Iodine is the solute, ethanol is the solvent
Dilute solution
Contains small amount of solute compared to solvent
Concentrated solution
Contains large amount of solute compared to solvent
As temperature increases, the solubility of salts
Also increases
As teneortaure increases, the solubility of gases
Decreases
To increase the solubility of a gas
- Lower temperature
- High pressure
As the temperature of the ocean increases, the concentration of dissolved oxygen
Decreases
Saturated solution
The solvent dissolved the maximum amount of solute at a specific temperature
Unsaturated solution
The solvent dissolves less than the maximum amount of solute at a specific temperature
Supersaturated solution
The solvent dissolves more than the maximum amount of solute at a specific temperature
