Module 3: Solutions Flashcards
(26 cards)
made up of two or more components
Mixture
a mixture in which only one phase is visible
Homogenous Mixture
a mixture having components with different sizes and shapes and contains two or more visible phases
Heterogeneous Mixture
homogenous mixtures that are composed of a solute and solvent
Solutions
substance that is present in small amounts
Solute
bulk or the medium in which the solute is dissolved, mixed, or dispersed
Solvent
solutions that use water as the solvent
Aqueous Solutions
aqueous solutions that can conduct electricity
Electrolytes
aqueous solution that do not conduct electricity
Nonelectrolytes
this is when the solute particles eventually drift into the solution
Solvation
a process in which the energy absorptionis sometimes necessary to break down the solute and solvent particlesand overcome the respective intermolecular forces of attraction
Endothermic
a process in which the energy is released during interaction between solute and solvent molecules
Exothermic
accounts for the overall change in the energy associated with the formation of solution
Heat of Solution
energy change accompanying the formation of one mole of solid from gaseous reactants
Lattice Energy
interaction of water molecules with solute particles
Hydration
amount of solute and solvent particles present in the solution
Concentration of Solution
number of moles of solute X relative to the total number of moles in a mixture
Mole Fraction
expressed as the number of miles of solute per liter of solution (mol/L)
Molarity/ Molar Concentration
number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
Molality
maximum concentration that can be dissolved in a saturated solution
Solubility
solution where in the concentration of the solute is beyond what the solvent can dissolve
Saturated Solution
serves as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent
Saturation Limit
factors affecting solubility
Nature of Solvent, Temperature, Pressure
condition wherein warm and less dense water floats over cold, denser water
Thermal Stratification
