Unit 4 solutions and solubility Flashcards
Homogeneous mixture
A mixture where it has more than 1 one component, yet only one phase is visible
Heterogeneous mixture
A mixture that contains multiple phases
Solute
WHat is dissolved
Solvent
What dissolves the solute
Solution
A special type of homogeneous mixture, solute + solvent
Aqueous solution
A solution in which water is the solvent
Concentrated
a solution with a relatively large quantity of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution
Dilute
a solution with a relatively small quantity of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution
Polar
A Covalent bond where atoms share electrons unequally, in other words one side has more electrons while the other side has less
Non- Polar
In this type of covalent bond, atoms share electrons equally therefore there is an equal amount of force of the electrons between both sides
Hydration
the process in which ions are surrounded by water molecules
Dissociation
the separation of individual ions from an ionic compound as it
dissolves in water
- Miscible
liquids that mix with each other in all proportions to form a solution
Immiscible :
liquids that don’t readily mix
Ions
any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges. Positively charged ions are called cations; negatively charged ions, anions.
