Unit 4: Solutions Flashcards
solution
homogeneous mixture of solvent and one
or more solutes
solvent
substance that has other substances
dissolved in it
Solute
substance that is dissolved in solution
variable composition
different ratios of solvent to
solute are possible
miscible
substances that are soluble in each other in
any proportion
immiscible
substances that do not readily dissolve
in each other (ex. Oil and water)
solubility
amount of solute that dissolves in a
given quantity of solvent at a specific
temperature.
soluble
> 1g / 100 mL
insoluble
< 0.1 g / 100 mL
slightly soluble
0.1 g - 1 g
rate of dissolving
speed at which solute
dissolves in solvent
intermolecular forces
forces between molecules
dipole moment
distribution of
molecular charge between 2 opposite charges
separated by short distance
dipole-dipole attraction
intermolecular force
between opposite charged ends of 2 polar
molecules
