Front

What is a nonelectrolyte?

Back

A substance that does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, resulting in a solution that does not conduct electricity. Example: C2H6O (ethanol).

Front

What is the solvent in a solution of carbon dioxide in water?

Back

Water is the solvent in this solution.

Front

What are solutions made up of?

Back

Solutions are made up of solutes and solvents.

Front

How does stirring affect the rate of solubility?

Back

Stirring increases the rate of solubility.

Front

What type of molecule is water?

Back

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Front

Define solvent.

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Front

What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture?

Back

A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition.

Front

What is an example of an electrolyte?

Back

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an example of an electrolyte, as it dissociates into ions in solution.

Front

What happens to the boiling point of a solution compared to its pure solvent?

Back

The boiling point of a solution is higher than that of its pure solvent due to boiling point elevation.
