C18.2 Solubility and Solutions
Cards (25)
- a mixture of one or more solute dissolved in a solventsolution
- usually a solution is made of a substance that can be dissolved with another substance
- an example of a solution is a mixture of water and salt, the salt dissolves in the water
- in a solution, the liquid is the solvent, while the solid is the solute
- a substance that dissolves a solutesolvent
- solvent + solute = solution
- a substance which is dissolved by a solventsolute
- the only way to get a solute back from a solution is by evaporating the solvent away
- SolubilityThe ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, creating a homogeneous mixture.
- insoluble substances act like chalk in water
- insoluble substances cannot dissolve in a liquid
- solubility depends on the particles of a substance and the solvent
- solubility is different for each substance since their particles are different
- the more mass that you can dissolve in 100g of a liquid at 25 degrees, the more soluble it is
- a saturated solution has all the solute that will dissolve in the given amount of solvent
- a supersaturated solution has more than the maximum amount of solute that could be dissolved in the given amount of solvent
- an unsaturated solution has less than the maximum amount of solute that could be dissolved in the given amount of solvent
- when a supersaturated solution cools down or warms up, crystals form because there's too much solute to stay dissolved
- saturation is the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solution
- solubility rules state which types of compounds are soluble in different liquids
- the solubility of a substance in water is the amount that dissolves in 100g of water in that temperature
- a saturated substance is a solution that has reached its maximum amount of solute
- temperature is a factor of solubility
- a solution is called saturated when it can dissolve no more solute at that temperature
- a saturated solution can dissolve more solute if or when it is heated up
