#1
Front (Question)

A specific type of diffusion in which water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Back (Answer)

Osmosis

#2
Front (Question)

The tendency of similar molecules to stick to each other or group together

Back (Answer)

Cohesion

#3
Front (Question)

A measure of how well dissimilar particles or surfaces cling to one another

Back (Answer)

Adhesiveness

#4
Front (Question)

The substance in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution

Back (Answer)

Solvent

#5
Front (Question)

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances whose components are uniformly distributed on a microscopic scale

Back (Answer)

Solution

#6
Front (Question)

The substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution

Back (Answer)

Solute

#7
Front (Question)

A solution containing the maximum possible amount of solute

Back (Answer)

saturated solution

#8
Front (Question)

A solution that has been raised to a higher temperature in order to dissolve more solute than would be possible at room temperature

Back (Answer)

supersaturated solution

#9
Front (Question)

The quantity of solute in a given quantity of solution

Back (Answer)

concentration of a solution

#10
Front (Question)

The addition of solvent to decrease the concentration of solute in a solution

Back (Answer)

dilution

#11
Front (Question)

Not a question just memorize these formulas

Back (Answer)

Molarity = moles of solute ÷ liters of solution (mol/L) Mole fraction = moles of solute ÷ total moles present (mol/mol) Molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent (mol/kg) Mass percentage = (mass of solute [g] ÷ mass of solution [g]) × 100 Parts per thousand (ppt) = g solute ÷ kg solution Parts per million (ppm) = mg solute ÷ kg solution Parts per billion (ppb) = mcg solute ÷ kg solution

#12
Front (Question)

Which of the following statements is true?​​​​​​​ A) In a solution, solutes constitute a greater proportion. B) The solubility of solid solutes increases with increase in temperature. C) Vitamins with hydrophobic structures are water soluble. D) The solubility of gas increases with increase in temperature.​​​​​​​

Back (Answer)

B The solubility of most solid and liquid solutes increases with increase in temperature. The other answers are stating the opposite of what is true (Solvents constitute a greater proportion, Vitamins that are hydrophilic structures are water soluble, the solubility of gas decreases)

#13
Front (Question)

Concentrations of sodium dissolved in water are higher inside the cell than outside. Which of the following best predicts which way the water will flow?

Back (Answer)

Water will move from its high concentration (outside the cell) to the lower concentration (inside the cell). During osmosis, water moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration.

#14
Front (Question)

Which of the following describes the process of diffusion?​​​​​​​

Back (Answer)

It is the movement of a substance from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
