Lecture 1 Flashcards
a homogenous mixture that contains small particles
solution
the substance present in a larger amount
Solvent
the substance present in a lesser amount
Solute
Ionic compounds dissolved in water yields an _________
electrolyte
a homogenous mixture with larger particles often having an opaque appearance
colloid
has water as a solvent
aqueous solution
They do not settle out, dispersed uniformly throughout the mixture
COLLOIDS
is a heterogeneous mixture that contains large particles suspended in a liquid
suspension
Particles are so large they do not dissolve in a liquid
SUSPENSIONS
Suspensions can be filtered away from the liquid or separated using a ______
centrifuge
Blood has multiple components
o Solid components (blood cells)
o Liquid component (plasma)
o Dissolved substances (ions, proteins, gases)
It exhibits properties of both a colloid and a suspension
