Solutions Quiz 4/22/16 Flashcards
The most abundant substance in a solution
Solvent
Dissolved substances
Solute
When 2 liquids mix to form homogeneous mixture
Miscible
When liquids separate after mixing
Immiscible
The dissolving process in solid-in-liquid solutions
Solvation
Solvation in water
Hydration
The net energy change during the dissolving process
Enthalpy
The energy goes from the motion of the particles and enters the bonds
Endothermic
The energy exits the bonds and increases the motion, thus the solution heats up
Exothermic
When more solute can still be dissolved
Unsaturated
When a solution contains the maximum amount of a solute
Saturated
When a solution contains more dissolved solute than it does at equilibrium
Supersaturation
When both the solute and solvent occur at the same rate and are balanced
Dynamic equilibrium
When ions are so tightly bound together that you cannot pull them apart
Insoluble
Homogeneous mixtures
