Unit 8.1-8.5 Flashcards
saturated solution
maximum amount of dissolved solute
solubility
measure of the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature
unsaturated solution
less than maximum solute is dissolved (more could be dissolved)
supersaturated solution
more than maximum solute (crystals usually appear)
colloid
medium solute, doesn’t settle, light scatters - fog, milk, mayo
solution
small solute, doesn’t settle, light passes through - kool aid, jello, sugar water, salt water
solute
the dissolved substance; part of the solution that’s of lesser quantity
solvent
does the dissolving; larger quantity of solution
suspension
large solute, settles over time, light doesn’t pass through - muddy water, orange juice w pulp, sandy water
soluble
capable of being dissolved
why do chemical compounds tend to dissolve more quickly in hot solvents than in cold solvents?
rising temps. spread molecules out so they dissolve quicker
equation used to dillute solutions
C1V1 = C2V2 or M1V2 = M2V2
