Part 5

Suspensions (mixtures)

Mixtures where something solid will settle out of solution over time, ie in muddy water, mud will eventually settle to the bottom

Colloids

Particles that are too large to dissolve but small enough not to settle out of the solution, instead they stay suspended, ie proteins

Solution

A homogenous mixture of two or more substances in which a solute is uniformly dissolved in a solvent

Partial Pressure

the pressure an individual gas in a mixture would exert if it occupied the entire volume alone at the same temperature

Strong vs Weak acids

Strong acids dissociate 100 percent in solution (ie HCl), weak acid are acids that do not dissociate 100 percent in solution (ie lactic acid)

Neutralization reaction

Acid plus base producing water and a salt
