Solutions Flashcards
concentrated
a lot of solute in the solvent
dilute
not a lot of solute in the solvent
unsaturated
not at its maximum/saturation point
saturated
maximum amount of solute in the solvent at that temperature
as temp increases,_____________
usually increases solubility/maximum saturation point
super saturated
forcing more solute to be dissolved by increasing temp
what happens when more solute is added ?
it does not increase concentration of the solution, begins to precipitate
dissociation
breaking into ions
what happens when something is boiled?
intermolecular forces are being broken, therefore, energy is required to break bonds
what happens when something is freezing?
intermolecular forces are being created therefore, energy is released
boiling a solution takes ___ energy than boiling the solvent. why?
more
because more bonds need to break, therefore, the boiling pt is high (boiling pt elevation)
why is the freezing point lower?
because more energy needs to be removed to freeze a solution
