Alchemy - originated from the greek word “khemeia”
Alchemy - art of changing inexpensive metals into expensive ones
Chemistry - comes from egyptian word keme means “earth”
Chemistry - science concerned with conposition, structure, and properties of matter eithout forgetting the changes during chemical reaction and energy associated
Solutions - Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances whose composition are uniformly distributed
solute - dissolved substances
solvent - dissolving medium
concentration - relative amount of somute and solvent
DiluteSolution - has low concentration
Dilute Solution - less amount of solute dissolved in a given solvent; Unsaturated Solution
Saturated Solution - amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent is in its maximum
Supersaturated solution - amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent is more than maximum
Hypotonic Solution - concentration of solution inside the cell is higher than outside of the cell
Isotonic Solution - concentration outside the cell is equal to the inside of the cell
Hypertonic Solution - higher concentration outside the cell than the inside allowing solvent to leave the cell causing the cell to shrink
FACTORS AFFECTING THE RATE OF DISSOLVING:
Stirring or Agitation
Heating
Powdering
Stirring - merely moves the solvent particles faster and it allows more interaction between solute and solvent causing dissolution faster
Heating - gives solvent particles more kinetic energy
Heating - the faster the motion of particles the greater the collision with solute particles, increase in the rate of dissolution
Powdering - smaller size of solute particles, the greater the surface area in contact with solvent
TYPE OF SOLUTION:
Dilute Solution
Saturated Solution
Supersaturated Solution
Hypotonic Solution
Isotonic Solution
Hypertonic Solution
Solubility - amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent
NatureofSolute - likes dissolve likes
Temperature - solubility of solids and liquid is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
Temperature - gas is inversely proportional
Pressure - minimal effect on solubility of solid and liquid
Phase Diagram - graph of the relationship between the physical state and the temperature and pressure for the system
Phase Field - only one state is possible
Phase Boundary - two states will co exist
Triple point - three states coexist
Critical Point - the liquid and vapor phases will have no distinction
