Solutions Flashcards
Suspension
A heterogenous mixture. Particles are larger than molecules and ions. Particles settle and can be separated by filtration and scatter light in all directions
Solution
A homogeneous mixture
Solvent
Found in greater amount in a mixture. Dissolves the solute
Solute
Found in smaller amount in mixture. Dissolves in solvent
Colloid
Particles are intermediate in size between those of suspensions and true solutions. Particles do. It settle and cannot be separated by filtration. Exhibit Tyndall effect
Concentration
More solute compared to solvent
Molarity
Moles per liter.
Solubility
The ability of a solution to dissolve in water
Miscible
Liquid solutes and solvents that are able to dissolve freely in one another
Immiscible
Liquid solutes and solvent that are soluble in each other
Dissociation
Separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves
Hydration
Water in added to an unsaturated solution
Saturated solution
The solvent holds the most solute it can
Unsaturated solution
The solvent can hold more solute
Supersaturated solution
The solvent holds more solute than it can under normal conditions
