Unit test 4- Solutions Flashcards
what is water
the universal solevant
homogenous mixture
2 distinct layers
solute
a substance that is lesser in quantity
solevant
a substance in the greater quantity
solution
a homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances (appear uniform)
aqueous solution
transparent and contains water
electrolyte
-a compound that dissolves in water producing a solution that conducts electricity
-a salt solution
miscible
2 substances mix to be heterogenous
immiscible
2 substances cannot mix together, form 2 seperate layers
surfactant
-lower liquid surface tension
-have both hydrophobic & hydrophilic parts
-hydrophobic
-hydrophilic
hydrophobic: interacts with dirt & oil
hydrophilic: interact with water
where is ppm used
-enviro. chemistry
ex: Reporting effects of toxic substances
what is the effects of heat on solubility of solids vs. gases
solids- greater solubility at higher temps
gases- lower solubility at higher temps
properties of acids
-start with H
-conduct electricity
-taste sour
-are corrosive
-react with metals to produce H2
*PH below 7
-litmus paper red
how does crystallization happen
rapid evaporation forms small crystals, slow evaporation forms large crystals
