solutions Flashcards
mixture
two or more substances physically combined
homogenous
a mixture that is uniform throughout (solution)
heterogenenous
a mixture that is not uniform throughout
soluble
a substance that is dissolved (aqueous)
insoluble
a substance that does not dissolve (a precipitate)
solution
a homogenous mixture that contains a solute that is fully dissolved in a solvent
solution examples
steel, sugar water, air
solute
substance that dissolves in .a solvent
solvent
substance that dissolves a solute
what does the solvent do in a solution
pulls the solute apart and distributes the particles
saturated
solution that can not dissolve any more solute at a given temperature and pressure
unsaturated
a solution that can dissolve more solute at a given temperature and pressure
supersaturated
a solution in which excess solute precipitates out of the solution at a given temperature and pressure q
what is solubility
maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure
precipitate
forms if the substance is insoluble
substance is aqueous
if the substance is soluble
non polar covalent bond
bond in which electrons are equally shared
polar covalent bond
electrons not equally shared
-one element is more electronegative, so electrons more attracted to more electronegative element, creating a partial charge
nonpolar dissolves in
nonpolar
polar dissolves in
polar
miscible
two liquids are soluble in each other
immiscible
two liquids are not soluble in each other
what factors affect the rate of solubility
surface area
temperature
pressure of gas
how does temp affect solubility
- increased temp of a solid to increase solubility
- decrease temp of a liquid or gas to increase solubility
how does surface area affect solubility
agitation (stirring) allows smaller particles to contact the solute
