solution
a homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances
solute
whatâs dissolved in the solvent
solvent
most abundant substance
soluble
substance that dissolves in another substance
insoluble
substance that does not dissolve into another substance
miscible
if substances are 2 liquids
immiscible
if substances are not 2 liquids
solvation
process of solvent particles surrounding solute particles
hydration
solvation of water
heat of solution
the overall energy change during the formation of a solution
solubility
maximum amount of a solute that dissolves in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure
saturated solution
contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure
unsaturated solution
dissolved solute for a given temperature and pressure is less than a saturated one
supersaturated solution
contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature and pressure
Henryâs Law
S1/P1 = S2/P2 (used for gases dissolved in liquids)
concentration
how much solute is dissolved in a specific amount of solvent or solution
concentrated
another term for concentration
dilute
another term for concentration
percent by mass
mass of solute/mass of solution x 100
percent by volume
volume of solute/volume of solution x 100
molarity
moles of solute/liters of solution
molality
moles of solute/kg of solvent
mole fraction
X(A) = n(A)/n(A) + n(B)
colligative properties
the physical properties of solutions that are affected by the number of particles but not the identity of the dissolved solute particles
volatile/volatility
the tendency of a substance to evaporate at room temperature
boiling point elevation
the difference between the pure solventâs boiling point and the solutionâs boiling point
freezing point depression
the difference in temperature between the freezing point of pure solvent and the solutionâs freezing point
osmosis
the diffusion of solvent particles across a semi-permeable from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
osmotic pressure
the pressure created by the additional water particles moving onto the solution side
semipermeable
means that the membrane has tiny holes that allow some, but not all kinds of particles to cross
suspension
a mixture containing large particles that settle out if left undistributed
colloid
contains intermediate size particles in a mixture that donât settle out if left undisturbed
Brownian motion
the erratic movement of colloid particles that results from particle collisions between the dispersed particles and the dispersing medium
Tyndall effect
the scattering of light caused by dispersing colloid particles
stock solution
M1V1 = M2V2
