Solutions Flashcards
elements, covalent
compounds, and ionic compounds.
Pure substances
most matter come into contact
with is a ____ of two or more pure
substances.
mixture
does not have a
uniform composition throughout the sample.
Heterogeneous mixture
has a uniform
composition throughout the sample.
Homogeneous mixture
homogeneous mixture that
contains small particles; liquid solutions are transparent.
solutions
2 components of solutions
solute and and solvent
The components cannot be separated by filtration
solution, colloid
substance present in a lesser
amount in a solution.
solute
substance present in a larger
amount in a solution.
solvent
homogeneous mixture with larger
particles, often having an opaque appearance; particles cannot be filtered and do not settle out.
colloid
heterogeneous mixture containing large particles suspended in a
liquid; particles do not dissolve, can be filtered or separated using a centrifuge.
suspension
The components cannot be separated by common filtration techniques.
colloid
The components can be separated by filtration or centrifugation
suspension
substance that conducts an
electric current in water.
electrolyte
substance that does not
conduct an electric current in water.
Nonelectrolyte
dissociates completely in
water to form ions.
Strong electrolyte
dissociates partially in
water to form some ions, leaving mostly
uncharged molecules.
Weak electrolyte
Ions that conduct an electric current; examples include NaCl, KOH, HCl, KBr
Strong Electrolyte
molecules with a few ions that conduct an electric current; examples include NH3, CH3CO2H, HF.
weak electrolyte
molecules that do not
conduct an electric current; examples include CH3OH, H2O.
nonelectrolyte
number of moles of charge
that a mole of ions contributes to a solution.
