Chapter 14: Mixtures and Solutions Flashcards
Colloids (Settles?, Scatters Light?, Relative Particle Size, Ex)
No; Yes; Medium; Corn starch + H2O
Solutions (Settles?, Scatters Light?, Relative Particle Size, Ex)
No; No; Smallest; Sugar + H2O
Suspensions (Settles?, Scatters Light?, Relative Particle Size, Ex)
Yes; Yes; Largest; Sand + H2O
Heterogeneous
Non-uniform
Homogeneous
Uniform
Alloys
Solid solutions of metals
Colloids
Suspensions of particles large enough to stay suspended, but not small enough to settle, suspended by Brownian Motion
Tyndall Effect
Scattering of light by a colloid
Solutions
Homogeneous mixtures of two or more pure substances
Solvent
Most abundant material
Solutes
Everything else
Brownian Motion
The process of keeping particles aloft in a fluid mixture, caused by collisions with other molecules
Soluble
A gas or solid that can dissolve in a given solvent
Insoluble
A gas or solid that will not dissolve in a given solvent
Miscible
2 liquids that form a solution
Immiscible
2 liquids that can’t form a solution
“Like Dissolves Like”
Polar solvents dissolve polar and ionic solutes; Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes
Concentration
Amount of solute in a given amount of solvent
Thixotropic Mixtures
Solid-like mixture that may become fluid when stirred or agitated
Qualitative Ways To Express Concentration
- Strong
- Weak
- Concentrated
- Dilute
Quantitative Ways To Express Concentration
- % by mass
- % by volume
- Molarity (M)
- Molality (m)
- Mole fraction
- Dilution Equation
Molarity (M)
moles solute/L solution = moles dm^-3
[ ]
Molar concentration
Equation Relating Molarity & Volume
M1V1=M2V2
