INV 5 H Physical Properties Review 2024

Front

What term describes a solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature?

Back

Supersaturated

Front

What is the melting point characteristic of sodium fluoride (NaF)?

Back

High melting point

Front

What happens to the solubility of most solids as temperature increases?

Back

Solubility increases

Front

What occurs when excess solute is added to a saturated solution?

Back

The excess solute will settle at the bottom of the container.

Front

Why do oil and water not mix?

Back

Oil is nonpolar and water is polar.

Front

What is the principle that explains why 'like dissolves like'?

Back

Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the solubility of gases in liquids?

Back

Solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases.

Front

What is the definition of solubility?

Back

The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What happens to the solubility of a solid solute when the temperature decreases?

Back

Solubility decreases.
