Chapter 8 Flashcards
Suspension
- made of large particles: can be seen w/ human eyes
- particles settle out and can be filtered
Colloid
can’t be filtered but can scatter light (Tyndal Effect) - particles are smaller than a suspension
Emulsion
colloid where liquids that don’t usually mix are spread throughout each other
Solution
homogeneous mixture- particles are extremely small and doesn’t settle out
Polar (molecules)
have UNeven distribution of charge
Nonpolar (molecules)
have an EVEN distribution of charge
Name 3 ways to speed up dissolving a solute
- Larger surface area of solute = dissolved faster
- Stirring/Shaking solids dissolve faster in solvent
- Higher temp of solvent = dissolved faster
Solubility
ability of one substance to dissolve in another at a given temp and pressure
Concentration
amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture, solution, or ore
Name 3 types of saturated solutions
- Unsaturated
- Saturated
- Supersaturated
Saturated solution
maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a solution
Unsaturated solution
contains less than maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in the solvent
Supersaturated solution
solution has more solute than it normally would to reach equilibrium at the higher temp
How does temp affect saturation?
higher temp requires more solute until the solution becomes saturated at the given temp
How does temp and pressure affect solubility of gases?
Temp: gases are less soluble in warmer water
Pressure: increase in pressure increases gases’ solubility
