Term
does stirring effect how much solute dissolves? |
|
Definition
no, just the rate at which it dissolves |
|
|
Term
why does a solute dissolve more quickly when stirred? |
|
Definition
the solute and solvent particles are constantly coming into contact |

Term
what happens if a solute is heated? |
|
Definition
it dissolves more quickly? |
|
|
Term
why does a heated solution dissolve more quickly? |
|
Definition
kinetic energy is higher and collisions occur more |
|
|
Term
what size particles dissolve faster? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
why do smaller particles dissolve faster? |
|
Definition
the surface area to volume ratio is higher |
|
|
Term
what happens during a dynamic state of equilibrium in a solution |
|
Definition
particles can dissolve and become part of the solute solid again, there is not net change |
|
|
Term
what will change a solution in a state of dynamic equilibrium? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
a solution containing the maximum amount of solute for a given amount of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure; equilibrium exists between undissolved solute and ions in solution |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
the amount of a substance that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at specified conditions of temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
what are the two main ways solubility is expresses? |
|
Definition
grams solute per 100 grams of solvent or grams of solute per liters of solvent |
|
|
Term
a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
what happens when additional solute is added to an unsaturated solution? |
|
Definition
the solute will dissolve til the solution is saturated |
|
|
Term
describes liquids that dissolve in one another in all proportions |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
if two miscible liquids are in a solution which is the solvent |
|
Definition
the one present in a larger amount |
|
|
Term
what are two examples of miscible solutions? (2 liquids) |
|
Definition
water and ethanol/ water and ethylene glycol |
|
|
Term
can liquids be partially miscible? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
what is an example of a partially miscible solution (2 liquids) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
describes liquids that are insoluble in one another |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
what is an ecxample of two liquids that are immiscible in each other? |
|
Definition
oil and vinegar (or water) |
|
|
Term
temperature effects the solubility of what states? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
pressure effects the solubility of what state? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
how is the solubility of most solid substances effected by heat? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
can the solubility of some solid substances decrease with heat? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
what is the effect of temperature on gases in liquid solvents? |
|
Definition
the opposite of most solids; as the temperature increases, the solubility decreases |
|
|
Term
what is thermal pollution? |
|
Definition
industries using lake water to cool stuff and then dumping the heated water back into the lake |
|
|
Term
what does thermal pollution cause? |
|
Definition
a rise in the temperature of the entire lake, which lowers the concentration of dissolved oxygen (gas) in the lake |
|
|
Term
what does a lower concentration of oygen in a lake effect? |
|
Definition
the aquatic animal and plant life |
|
|
Term
a solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature; excess solute precipitates if a seed crystal is added |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
can crystallization in a supersaturated solution occur without a seed crystal? |
|
Definition
yes, sometimes a crack on the inside of the container can cause crystallization |
|
|
Term
as the pressure of the gas above the liquid of a solution increases... |
|
Definition
the solubility of the gas increases |
|
|
Term
at a given temperature the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid |
