explain 3 characteristics of solids
Definite shape and volume
Strong intermolecular forces
Incompressibility
Fixed arrangement of particles
Low kinetic energy
give 3 characteristics of liquids
No fixed shape
Definite volume
Weaker intermolecular forces
Fluidity
Low compressibility
Moderate kinetic energy
Ability to diffuse
give 3 characteristics of gases
No fixed shape or volume
Weakest intermolecular forces
High compressibility
High kinetic energy
Diffuse easily
Low density
can be poured
liquid and gas
can be compressed
gas
keeps its shape
solids
what is a solvent
A solvent is a liquid that dissolves something else.
example of a solvent
For example, in saltwater, water is the solvent because it dissolves the salt.
what is a solute
A solute is a substance that gets mixed into and dissolves in another substance.
the solid that is dissolved by a solvent
example of a solute
For example, in salt water, salt is the solute because it dissolves in the water.
what is a solution
A solution is a mixture where one substance (like salt) dissolves completely in another substance (like water).
The dissolved particles spread out evenly, and you can’t see them separately.
example of a solution
For example, when you stir sugar into water, it becomes a solution.
how does a solution form
A solution forms when a solute dissolves in a solvent
what is a saturated solution
A saturated solution is one in which no more solute will dissolve (at a given temperature)
the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved
soluble
dissolves well in liquid
insoluble
does not dissolve well in liquid
what is solubility
Solubility is defined as the mass of a solid required to saturate 100 g of
water at a given temperature.
the mass of solute that can saturate 100 cm3 of solvent
solubility formula
Solubility = Volume of Water (L) / Mass of Solute (g)
