solutions: chemistry

Question 1

saturated solution

Answer 1

is a solution with an undissolved solute

Question 2

unsaturated solution

Answer 2

a solution in which more solute can be dissolved

Question 3

supersaturated solution

Answer 3

can be made by dissolving the solute under high temps and then carefully cooling them. these are unstable solutions

Question 4

solutions

Answer 4

a homogenous(alike) mixture of two or more substances in a single phase of matter

Question 5

colloids

Answer 5

particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions

Question 6

suspensions

Answer 6

is a heterogenous mixture and can be so large that it can settle out unless this mixture is constantly stirred or agitated

Question 7

factors that can affect solubility

Answer 7

• nature of both solvents and solutes
• temperatures
• for gases: the pressure

Question 8

factors of solubility example

Answer 8

sucrose being dissolved in hot water than cold, which makes rock candy. the solubility when using hot water increases the temp of the solution making the rock candy because it allows the sugar to crystalize(supersaturated solution)

Question 9

solvent

Answer 9

dissolving medium (something that helps something dissolve)

Question 10

solute

Answer 10

substance dissolved

Question 11

solvent and solute example

Answer 11

dissolving salt in water

Question 12

solvent and solute example explanation

Answer 12

the salt is being dissolved in the water making it the solute(the substance dissolved) and the water the solvent(dissolving medium; helping salt dissolve)
