Solutions Flashcards
What are the properties of a solution?
- homogenous mixture of two or more substances e.g. Sugar and water
- macroscopic properties do not vary within the sample
- components cannot be separated by filtration, but can be separating by things like boiling
- no components are large enough to scatter visible life
The substance that is more plentiful in a solution
Solvent
The substance that is less plentiful in a solution
Solute
When the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible at a certain temperature, and some solid particles remain undissolved
Saturated solutions
Saturated solutions are an _______ system where solid particles continually dissolve in the solvent and dissolved particles fall out of solutions
Equilibrium
Solutions soluble in all properties, never become saturated
Miscible solutions
How can intermolecular forces cause the volume of a solutions to differ from the sum of the volume before mixing?
Strong IMF’s can pull molecules together and decrease volume
Always infinitely soluble in each other
Gasses
Solutions formed by melting, mixing, and solidifying
