Chapter 16 Flashcards
(20 cards)
A solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature; excess solute precipitates if a seed crystal is added.

Supersaturated Solution
A solution containing the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvnet at a constant temperature and pressure; an equilibrium exists between undissolved solute and ions in a solution.

Saturated Solution
A mixture whose particles are intermediate in size between those of a suspension and a solution.

Colloid
The collodial dispersion of one liquid to another.

Emulsion
A homogeneous mixture; consists of solutes dissolved in a solvent.

Solution
A mixture that is not uniform in compostion; componenets are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture

Heterogeneous Mixture
A process that occurs when an ionic solute dissolves; in a solution, solvent molecules surround the positive and negative ions.

Solution
A substance that is incapable of being dissolved

Insoluble
A mixture from which some of the particles settle out slowly upon standing.

Supension
A solution that contains less solute that a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure

Unsaturated Solution
Describes liquids that are insoluble in one another; oil and water

Immiscible
A soluyion that contains a small amount of solute.

Dilute Solution
Describes liquids that dissolve in one another in all proportions.

Miscible
A mixture that is unifrom in composition; componenets are evenly distributed and not easily distinguished.

Homogenous Mixture
The amount of a substance that dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at specified conditions of temperaure and pressure to produce a saturated solution.

Solubility
The concentration of solute in a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 liter of solution.
Molarity (M)
A solution containing a large amount of solute.

Concentrated Solution
Dissolved particles in a solution.

Solute
The dissolving medium in a solution.

Solvent
A measurement of the amount of solute that is dissoved in a given quantity of solvent; usually expressed as mol/L.

Concentration
