solubility Flashcards
(23 cards)
mixtures
-a physical combination of two or more substances
-organized by particle size and appearance
-can either be heterogenous or homogenous
heterogenous mixture
-not a uniform composition
-can either be suspension or colloid
suspension
-particles are less than 1000 nm
-particles settle
-can filter
colloid
-greater than 1 nm
-do not settle
-cannot filter
-do tyndall effect
tyndall effect
-particles have the ability to scatter light
-ex. headlights in fog
homogenous mixture
-uniform composition
-also known as solution
-do not settle/ separate on standing
-cannot be filtered
-0.01-1 nm
-do not scatter light
solutions
-aka homogenous mixture
-two or more substances in a single phase
solvent
-does the dissolving
universal solvent
water
solute
-substance being dissolved
-can be one or more solutes in the solution
alloy
-solutions of two metals
-ex. brass is a mixture of copper and zinc
-ex. bronze is a mixture of copper and tin
why are alloys created?
-to increase strength of metals
-make them more hesitant to corrosion
unsaturated solution
-contains less than the maximum amount of solute possible
saturated solution
-contain all the solute taht is possible to dissolve under a given set of conditions
supersaturated solution
-unstable solutions that have been forced to dissolve more solute than should be possible under a given set of conditions
soluble
-the amount of substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature
how does temp affect solubility?
-gases become less soluble with increased temperature
how does pressure affect solubility?
-pressure increases as volume decreases
what other factors affect solubility?
-heat
-stirring/ shaking
-saturated
concentration
-measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution
-it is a ratio
what are the three expressions of concentration?
-molarity
-ppm (parts per million)
-ppb (parts per billion)
molarity
-number of moles of solute in one liter of solution
-M = mol/ L
dilutions
-how concentrated a solution is
-M1V1=M2V2
