Term
Solution:

A solution is
Definition
a mixture
homogeneous (particles are evenly spread out)
made up of a solvent and 1 or more solutes.
Term
solvent
Definition
The part of a solution that is present in the largest amount. It dissolves a solute.
Term
solute
Definition
The part of a solution present in lesser amount. It is dissolved by the solvent.
Term
What does it mean when something is insoluable in water?
Definition
It can not be dissolved in water.
Term
What is the solute in in a solution of air?
Definition
oxygen and other gases
Term
What is the solvent in a solution of air?
Definition
Nitrogen
Term
Suspension:
A suspension is:
Definition
-undissolved particles
-particles can be filtered out or settle out
heterogeneous
Term
Examples of suspensions:
Definition
pepper in water,salad dressing, koolaid
Term
How can you separate a suspension?
Definition
by filtration or settling
Term
What is a colloid?
Definition
a mixture
homogeneous
particles can't be filtered out
Term
Examples of colloids:
Definition
milk, jello
Term
What is the Tyndall effect?
Definition
light is scattered so it can be seen
Term
How can you use the Tyndall effect to tell the difference between a solution and a colloid?
Definition
You can see the beam of light in a colloid. You can't see it in a solution.
Term
What is the difference between a dilute solution and a concentrared solution?
Definition
A dilute solution has less solute
A concentrated solution has more solute.
Term

Definition
temperature of solvent
stirring
particle size
Term
What are 3 factors that affect how fast a substance dissolves?
Definition
size of particles
temperature of solvent
stirring
Term
What happens to the surface area of a substance when it is broken into smaller pieces?
Definition
It increases.
Term
What is the universal solvent?
Definition
water
Term
When a solute dissolves where does the action take place?
Definition
on the surface
Term
Why does stirring increase the rate of solution
Definition
more solvent comes in contact with the solute
