Chapter Seven Solutions

A colloid is a mixture consisting of tiny particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and those suspensions and that are suspended in a liquid, solid, or gas.

An emulsion is any mixture of two or more immiscible liquids in which one liquid is dispersed in the other.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase.

A solute is in a solution, the substance that dissolves in the solvent.

A solvent is in a solution, the substance in which the solute dissolves.

An alloy is a solid or liquid mixture of two or more metals.

A heterogeneous mixture is a compound if dissimilar components.

Decanting is the process of pouring a lighter liquid off of a heavier liquid.

Immiscible is the two liquids separate which means they do not mix.

The Tyndall Effect scattering of light.

A polar compound is a molecule that has an uneven distribution of electrons.

Hydrogen bonding is when the intermolecular force occurring when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom of one molecule is attracted to two unshared electrons of another molecule.

A nonpolar compound is a compound whose electrons are equally distributed among its atoms.

Solubility is the maximum amount if a solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Concentration is the amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture, solution, or ore.

An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution does and that is able to dissolve additional solute.

A saturated solution is a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute under the given conditions.

A supersaturated solution is a solution that holds more dissolved solute than is required to reach to reach equilibrium at a given temperature.

Molarity is an expression if the concentration of a solution in moles if dissolved solute per liter of solution.

An insoluble is when they do not dissolve.

A soluble is when they easily dissolve in water.

Dilute is a solution that contains a small amount of solute.

Suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas.
