Solutions Test Flashcards
A solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is unstable
supersaturated
A homogeneous mixture
solution
Does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water due to the lack of ions
non-electrolyte
substance doing the dissolving, usually present in a greater amount
solvent
Liquids that do not mix easily, forming a heterogeneous mixture
immiscible
A solution that holds the maximum amount of solute per amount of solution under given conditions
saturated solution
A general term for a solution with a large amount of solute
concentrated solution
Substance being dissolved, usually present in a lesser amount
solute
A general term for a solution with a small amount of solute
dilute solution
Conducts electricity when dissolved in water due to the presence of ions
electrolyte
A solution that has less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved
unsaturated
Liquids that mix easily, forming a homogeneous mixture
miscible
How to make a solid dissolve faster
agitate, increase surface area, increase temp
How to make a solid solute dissolve
increase the temperature
Why won’t oil and water mix?
The polar water molecules have partial charges while the nonpolar oil has no charges. The partial charges on water are attracted to other water molecules with partial charges rather than the noncharged oil. The IMF of water bonding with water are stronger than the IMF of water bonding with oil.
