question
Supersaturated 
answer

Containing an amount of a substance greater than that required for saturation as a result of having been cooled from a higher temperature to a temperature below that at which saturation occurs

question
Saturated 
answer

a solution that is unable to absorb or dissolve any more of a solute at a given temperature and pressure.

question
Unsaturated
answer

 capable of dissolving more of a solute at the same temperature.

question
Miscible 
answer

Relating to two or more substances that can be mixed together or can dissolve into one another in any proportion without separating.

question
Immiscible
answer

Incapable of being mixed or blended together.

question
Hygroscopic
answer

 a property of a substance to absorb water from its surroundings.

question
Deliquescent
answer
Property that inclines a substance to absorb moisture from the atmosphere until it dissolves.
question

Solvent

answer
The component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount. It is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
question

Precipitate

answer
an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution. 
question
Solute
answer
 the chemical dissolved in a solution. 
question

Concentrated

answer
a solution that contains a large amount of solute relative to the amount that could dissolve
question
Dilute
answer
a solution containing a relatively small quantity of solute as compared with the amount of solvent
question

Homogeneous

answer

 mixture which has uniform composition and properties throughout.


Examples include Solutions and all pure substances: salt water, water, oxygen

question

Heterogeneous

answer

 made of different substances that remain physically separate.


Examples include colloids such as jello and suspension such as oil and water.

question

Colloid

answer
a heterogeneous mixture that has particles ranging between 1 and 1000 nanometers in diameter, yet are still able to remain evenly distributed throughout the solution
question
Solution
answer
homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
question

Suspension

answer
 a heterogeneous mixture in which particles settle out some time after their introduction
question

Pure substance

answer

A material that is composed of only one type of particle


Elements and compounds are pure substances

question
Electrolyte
answer
substance that conducts electric current as a result of a dissociation into positively and negatively charged particles called ions
question
Nonelectrolyte
answer
 substance that does not readily ionize when dissolved or melted and is a poor conductor
question

Ionic bond

answer
when a positively charged ion forms a bond with a negatively charged ions and one atom transfers electrons to another.
question

Non-polar covalent bond

answer
 a bond that occurs when two atoms share electrons equally.
question
Polar Covalent Bond
answer

a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.

question
Examples of
Pure substance
answer

Elements (oxygen, carbon, etc.)

 

Compounds (water, sodium chloride)

question

Examples of Solutions

answer
Salt Water, Kool Aid, Soda,
question
Examples of Colloids
answer
Milk, jello, fog
question
Examples of Suspensions
answer
Orange juice, Salad Dressing, things that you have to shake before using to get them to mix.

question
How does temperature effect solubility of solids? 
answer
In most cases an increase in temperature will result in an increases the solubility of solids
question
How does temperature effect solubility of Gases?
answer
An increase in temperature will result in a decrease in the solubility of a gas.
question
How does pressure effect solubility of solids and liquids?
answer
Pressure has no effect on the solubility of solids and liquids.
question
How does pressure effect solubility of gases?
answer
An increase in pressure will result in an increase in gas solubility.
question
What 3 things increase the rate of solubilty of a solid?
answer

1. Mixing

2. Increase in Temperature

3. Breaking up the solute (increasing the surface area of the solute)
