solutions xxxxx;-;-;-; Flashcards
homogenous mixture made up of atoms, ions, or molecules
solutions
dissolved medium
solute
dissolving medium
solvent
two phases of solutions
solute, solvent
solutions in which water is the solvent
aqueous solutions
some properties of solutions
-concentration can be changed
-particles are evenly distributed
-aqueous solutions are transparent
-components do not chemically react with each other
types of solutions
concentrated, dilute
lots of solute in a small amount of solvent
concentrated
small amount of solute in a large amount of solvent
dilute
formation of solutions
ionic, polar, nonpolar
amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature to produce a saturated solution
solubility
more solute dissolves
unsaturated solution
no more solute dissolves
saturated solution
becomes unstable, crystals form
supersaturated solution
the minimum amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent at room temperature
unsaturated solutio
