5.2 SOLUTION AND RATE OF SOLUBILITY

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a liquid that can dissolve solutes.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is the mixture formed when solutes dissolve in a solvent.

Front

What is a colloid?

Back

A colloid is a mixture of two or more solutes that are dispersed evenly in a solvent.

Front

What is the relationship between solute size and rate of solubility?

Back

The smaller the size of the solute, the higher the rate of solubility.

Front

Give an example of an organic solvent.

Back

Examples of organic solvents include ethanol, acetone, and benzene.

Front

What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent, while a solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.

Front

What factors affect the rate of solubility?

Back

Factors affecting the rate of solubility include temperature, agitation, and the size of the solute.

Front

How does temperature affect the solubility of solids in liquids?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the solubility of solids in liquids also increases.

Front

What is saturation in the context of solutions?

Back

Saturation occurs when a solution can no longer dissolve additional solute at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What is the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature, while an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.
