Solutions Flashcards
Solvent-
Part of a solution present in the largest amount.
A well-mixed mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute is called a _________.
Solution
Solute-
A substance present in a solution in abolition in a smaller amount.
In a solution, the _______ is dissolved by the _____________.
Solute
Solvent
Why is water called the universal solvent?
Because water dissolves so many substances.
What are affects of solutes on solutions?
- solutes raise the boiling point of a solvent.
- the temp must drop lower then 0 degrees Celsius for water to freeze when a solute is dissolved in water.
- antifreeze boils at a lower temp than pure water.
Dilute solution-
A mixture that only has a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent.
Concentrated solution-
One that has a lot of solute dissolved in the solvent.
Solubility-
Is a measure of how much solute can dissolve in s solvent at a given temp.
Saturated solution-
When you have added so much solute that no more dissolves.
Supersaturated solution-
Has more dissolved solute than is predicted by it’s solubility at a given temp.
A mixture that has so much solute that no more will dissolve is called a ___________________.
Saturated solution.
A mixture in which more solute can can be can be dissolved is called an ______________.
Unsaturated solution
What are 3 factors that affect the solubility?
- Pressure
- Type of solvent
- Temperature
The higher the pressure of gas, the ______ has can dissolve in a solvent.

True or false?
Nonpolar compounds dissolve in polar solvents.
False
What is true about temperature and solubility?
- most solids become more soluble as the temp goes up.
- most gases become less soluble as the temp goes up.
- carbon dioxide dissolved better in cold water than in hot water.
Valence electrons-
Electrons that have the highest energy level and are held most loosely.
Atomic number-
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
period-
The row of elements across the periodic table.
