Chapter 7 Solutions

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

Any mixture of two or more I miscible liquids in which one liquid is dispersed in the other.

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

In a solution, the substance that dissolves in the solvent.

In a solution, the substance in which the solute dissolves.

A solid or liquid mixture of two or more metals.

Composed of dissimilar components.

The process of pouring a lighter liquid off of a heavier liquid.

Describes two or more liquids that do not mix with eachother.

The scattering of light.

A molecule that has an uneven distribution of electrons.

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

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 compound whose electrons are equally distributed among its atoms.

The maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

The amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture, solution, or ore.

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

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

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