Solutions Flashcards
(29 cards)
Define dilute
A dilute solution is thinner/ weaker liquid due to adding water
Define Aqueous solutions
An aqueous solution is homogeneous solution that is soluble (solvent always is water)
Define solvent
A Solvent is the substance that causes other substances to dissolve (water)
Define solute
A solute is the substance that dissolves in a solvent
Define polar molecules
polar molecules are water molecules with positive and negative ends
Define polar compounds
polar compounds dissolves well in water (example: sugar, acid, alcohol)
Define non polar compounds
non polar compounds do not dissolve (example: carbohydrates, oil, grease)
Do ionic compounds dissolve
Yes ionic compounds dissolve well in water
Define Molarity
molarity tells the number of moles per litre
Define Electrolytes
electrolytes are substances that increase conductivity
Define Strong electrolytes
strong electrolytes disassociate/ dissolve 100%
Define weak electrolytes
weak electrolytes partial ionizes
Define non electrolytes
non electrolytes are soluble but do not conduct electricity
Define supersaturated
supersaturated is when the solution is overly saturated, it cannot dissolve anymore solute
Define saturated
saturated is a solution with just enough solute
Define unsaturated
unsaturated is a solution that could still dissolve more solute
Define homogeneous
homogeneous solutions are a mixture of 1 phase/ are uniform throughout
Define heterogeneous
an unalike mixture, not uniform throughout
Define crystallizations
crystallization is when crystals become clear and define
Define entropy
entropy is when something is a mess or disorganized
Define hydration
hydration is causing something to absorb water
Define ionize
ionization is to convert into ions by removing electrons
Define disassociate
disassociate is to dissolves/ splitting into atoms or molecules
Define concentration
concentration is the amount of a substance in a defined space
