Unit 5 Flashcards
Define solvent
Able to dissolve other substances
Define solute
The minor ( smaller amount ) in a solute dissolved in the solvent
Define solubility
Referring to the ability for a given substances the solute to dissolve is a solvent
Name 3 things that can increase the rate of solubility
Increase temperature
Smaller particals
Stirring the solution
If you have 80 milliliters of vinegar and you add 20 milliliters of water. In this solution the water is identified as what part of the solution
The water would be the solute because it is the smaller amount
Is the process of dissolving a solute in a solvent a chemical reaction or a physical reaction
Physical change because it is the smaller amount
Why is water described as a universal solvent
The unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen
Explain what happens to solubility when you increase the temperature
As you increase temperature the solubility increases
Why is water described as a polar substances
A positive end and a negative end
Positive charge
What most impacts weather a substance will dissolve in water
Polarity ( if it is polar it will dissolve if non polar will not dissolve
What is a ph level
Is a measure of how acidic or basic a substance is
Give characteristics of an acid
Acid taste sour
Acids react strongly with metals
Ph level 0-6
When you combine an acid and a base what happens
Acids mixed with bases neutralize each other
What is a neutral solutionsph
Ph of 7
A liquid with a ph 3.0 is how many times more acidic than one with a ph of 4.0
Ten times
