Solutions Flashcards
a homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances
solution
substances present in a small amount; the dissolved substance.
solvent
the substance present in a larger amount; dissolve the solute
solvent
contains less solute than the solvent has the capacity to dissolve at a specific temperature.
unsaturated solution
contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.
saturated solution
______ form when a seed crystal is added to a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate.
Sodium acetate crystals
Two substances with similar intermolecular forces are likely to be soluble in each other.
