Back

Freezing point, boiling point, and conductivity.

Front

What is the term for the concentration of a solution?

Back

Molarity.

Front

How do you calculate molarity?

Back

Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters.

Front

What type of acids are commonly found in foods?

Back

Weak acids.

Front

What happens when a substance dissolves in water?

Back

It undergoes dispersion, breaking into smaller pieces and spreading out.

Front

What is the effect of a solute on the boiling point of a solvent?

Back

The boiling point of the solution is typically higher than that of the pure solvent.

Front

What is the effect of a solute on the freezing point of a solvent?

Back

The freezing point of the solution is typically lower than that of the pure solvent.

Front

What is ionization in the context of solutions?

Back

Ionization is the process where molecules break apart into ions when dissolved in a solvent.
