Stenberg Chemistry Ch 13

Front 1

Soluble

Back 1

capable of being dissolved

Front 2

Solution

Back 2

a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase

Front 3

Solvent

Back 3

The dissolving medium in a solution

Front 4

Solute

Back 4

The substance dissolved in a solution

Front 5

Suspension

Back 5

If the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated, the mixture

Front 6

Colloid

Back 6

a mixture involving solute particles of intermediate size

Front 7

Electrolyte

Back 7

a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electricity

Front 8

Nonelectrolyte

Back 8

a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electrical current

Front 9

saturated solution

Back 9

A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure

Front 10

unsaturated solution

Back 10

A solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions

Front 11

supersaturated solution

Back 11

A solution that contains more of a solute than can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure

Front 12

Solubility

Back 12

the amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature

Front 13

Immiscible

Back 13

Liquid solutes and solvents that are not soluble in each other

Front 14

Miscible

Back 14

Liquids that dissolve freely in one another

Front 15

Henry’s law

Back 15

The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid

Front 16

Effervescence

Back 16

The rapid escape of a gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved

Front 17

heat of solution

Back 17

The amount of heat energy absorbed or released when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent

Front 18

Concentration

Back 18

a measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solution or solvent

Front 19

Molarity

Back 19

the number of moles of solute in one liter of solution

Front 20

molality

Back 20

the concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent
