U6 Day 7 - Solutions, Colloids, Suspensions & Solubility Curves

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

A solution with less than the maximum amount of solute.

Front

What is the part of the solution that is being dissolved?

Back

Solute.

Front

What is a suspension?

Back

A mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid but not dissolved, such as sand in water.

Front

What is a colloid?

Back

A mixture where tiny particles are evenly distributed in a liquid, such as mayonnaise.

Front

What effect does pressure have on the solubility of gases?

Back

Pressure has the greatest effect on the solubility of gases in liquids.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

The substance in which the solute is dissolved.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

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

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A solution that contains more solute than can normally be dissolved at a given temperature.

Front

What is the difference between a solution and a colloid?

Back

A solution has particles that are completely dissolved, while a colloid has larger particles that remain suspended.
