solutions - Sheet1 Flashcards
Substance that does not conduct an electric current in water.
Nonelectrolyte
Elements, covalent compounds, and ionic compounds.
Pure substances
Dissociates completely in water to form ions.
Strong electrolyte
Most matter come into contact with is a mixture of two or more pure substances.
Mixtures
Does not have a uniform composition throughout the sample.
Heterogeneous mixture
Dissociates partially in water to form some ions, leaving mostly uncharged molecules.
Weak electrolyte
Has a uniform composition throughout the sample.
Homogeneous mixture
Homogeneous mixture that contains small particles; liquid solutions are transparent.
Solution
Substance present in a lesser amount in a solution.
Solute
Substance present in a larger amount in a solution.
Solvent
Homogeneous mixture with larger particles, often having an opaque appearance; particles cannot be filtered and do not settle out.
Colloid
Number of moles of charge that a mole of ions contributes to a solution.
Equivalent (Eq)
Heterogeneous mixture containing large particles suspended in a liquid; particles do not dissolve, can be filtered or separated using a centrifuge.
Suspension
In solutions that contain ions, there must be a balance between total positive and total negative charge.
Charge balance in solutions
Amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent, usually reported in grams of solute per 100 mL of solution (g/100 mL).
Solubility
Contains the maximum number of grams of solute that can dissolve.
Saturated solution
Contains less than the maximum number of grams of solute that can dissolve.
Unsaturated solution
Substance that conducts an electric current in water.
Electrolyte
Like dissolves like.
Solubility principle
Solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
Henry’s law
Tells how much solute is dissolved in a given amount of solution.
Concentration of a solution
