Q

How do you measure concentration?

A

Units = g/mL

17
Q

What is solubility?

A

The mass of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature.

18
Q

What is an Unsaturated solution?

A

solutions in which more solute can dissolve

19
Q

What is a Saturated

A

are solutions in which solute can dissolve at a given temperature.

20
Q

Solubility depends on at least 3 factors. Can you name them all?

A

Type of solute, Type of solvent, Temperature

21
Q

What is viscosity?

A

A measure of how quickly a fluid flows

22
Q

What’s the difference between High viscosity and Low viscosity?

A

Fluids with high viscosity do not flow as easily as fluids with a low viscosity.

23
Q

How does temperature affect viscosity?

A

When the temperature increases the viscosity decreases

When the temperature decreases the viscosity increases

24
Q

What is the definition of density?

A

The amount of matter in a given volume

25
Q

What is the ratio for density?

A

Density (d) = Mass (m) / Volume (v)

26
Q

Which fluid is an exception to states of matter vs. density?

A

WATER!

27
Q

What happens when something is LESS dense than water?

A

It floats

28
Q

What happens when something is MORE denser than water?

A

It sinks

29
Q

What happens when something has the same density as water?

A

It will be suspended in the middle

30
Q

For liquids density units are?

A

g / ml

31
Q

For solids density units are?

A

g / cm3

32
Q

What happens when the temperature decreases?

A

When the temperature decreases, density usually increases.

33
Q

What happens when the temperature increases?

A

When the temperature increases, density usually decreases.

34
Q

What is buoyancy?

A

The tendency of an object to float when placed in a fluid

35
Q

What is the buoyant force?

A

When an object is in a liquid, the force of gravity pulls it down.

36
Q

What is compressibility?

A

The extent to which a substance (3 states of matter) can be compressed by a force acting on it. Objects under compression tend to deform the shape.
