Cards (7)

  • define diffusion ?
    the gradual movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
  • what is a good experiment to demonstrate diffusion ?
    potassium manganate and water
  • what is happening in this diagram ?
    • bromine is a brown, strong smelling gas
    • showing how a small container with high concentration and when glass plate removed the particles will diffuse into an area of low concentration and the bromide will slowly spread
  • what is a solution ?
    A solution is a mixture of two or more substances, where the solute is dissolved in the solvent.
  • what is a solute ?
    the substance being dissolved
  • what is a saturated solution ?
    a solution where the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved so no more solute will dissolve in the solution
  • what is a solvent ?
    the liquid the solute is dissolving into
