solution Flashcards
(16 cards)
what is a solute
substance dissolved
what is a solvent
substance that does dissolving
what is an alloy
solutions of metals
what are properties metals can give to a solution
malleability, density, strength, resistance to oxidatiob
what is homogeneous mixture and its properties
components are evenly distributed
- dont settle
- light can be shone
- not easily filtered
what is a heterogeneous mixture
settles out if left to stand
- has suspensions
- no light passes
- opaque/translucent
- light reflects off solid particles
what is the tyndall effect
light reflecting off solid particles
what is an emulsion
liquid to liquid suspension
what is a saturated solution
max amt of solute dissolved
what is an unsaturated solution
more can be dissolved
what is a super saturated solution
more dissolved than usual at specific temperatures
what are factors that effect the formation of a solution
- temp (in water)
- polarity of solute/solvent
- particle size
- agitation
- pressure (gases)
are some substances insoluble regardless of conditions
yes
increasing pressure increases
solubility in gases
how do atoms escape to the gas state under pressure
energy is transferred through collisions, when enough is gained atoms escape
ionic substances…
- polar, dissolves in polar solvent
- releases positive and negative ions (cation, anion)
- can make electrolytes
