Unit 7 Flashcards
Aqueous
What is the most common solvent?
When substances are in a solution with water
Wate
Distillation
Separation used for a mixture of liquids that separate components based on the boiling points
Centrifuge
Rapidly spins mixtures and separates by densities
Mixture
Heterogenous and homogenous mixtures
Mixture: physical blend of 2 or more pure substances
Heterogenous: non uniform composition
Homogeneous(solution): uniform composition
Decant
Pouring a liquid and leaving a solid behind
Filtration
Pouring a mixture through filter paper, small particles pass through, large particles get trapped
Suspension
A dispersion of large particles that are temporarily suspended and settle out naturally over time
Ex: salad dressing, orange juice with pulp
Colloid
Consists of 2 phases of matter and are heterogenous on a microscopic level, hard to see with a naked eye
Ex: milk, spray paint, whipped cream
Solute
Solvent
Solute: substance that is being dissolved
Solvent: substance that does the dissolving
How can you tell solutions and colloids apart?
Solutions are clear, colloids are cloudy
Solubility
Amount of solute that dissolve in a given amount of solvent
Factors that affect solubility
- Temperature: increasing temperature increases solubility
- Agitation: stirring the solution increases solubility
- Surface area: smaller particles=dissolves quicker
Saturated solution
Contains the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature
Unsaturated solution
Contains les solute than a given amount of solvent can dissolve
Supersaturated solution
Contains more than the maximum amount that a given amount of solvent can dissolve
