Solutions Flashcards
Pressure
Increases the solubility of gas in a solvent.
Forces particles together
Temperature (solubility)
Increases the solubility of solids in a solvent.
Decreases solubility of gases in a solvent.
Agitate (stir) the mixture
Adding energy from stirring dissolves it faster
Surface Area (crushing)
Dissolves faster with increased surface area
Homogeneous Mixtures
Particles are evenly distributed
Ex. salt water
Things that look homogenous but is really heterogenous
Blood Milk Mayonnaise Whip cream Jelly
Colloids/Gels
Larger molecules suspended in liquid.
Are usually opaque/translucent.
Not easily filtered and do not settle out.
Emulsion
Heterogeneous mix of two or more liquids.
If you let me sit they will separate
(Ex. Oil and water)
Saturated Solution
Max amount dissolved at that temperature.
Unsaturated Solution
Solvent is able to dissolve more at that temperature.
Supersaturated
Solvent is holding more solute that normally can at that temperature.
Very unstable.
Saturated solution
Amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution.
Suspension
Heterogeneous mix of solid in liquid.
Use filters to separate components.
(Ex. sand in water)
Heterogeneous mixtures
Uneven distribution.
Particles in mixture can be identified.
(Ex. sand and water)
Aqueous Solution
Solutions with water as the solvent.
Solute
The dissolved substance.
Nature of the solvent and solute
Like dissolves like
Types of solutions
Saturated
Unsaturated
Supersaturated
