A homogeneous mixture of substances. One substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent).
What is a solution?
A solution in which the solvent is water
What is an Aqueous Solution?
Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees
What is Temperature?
The part of a solution that gets dissolved.
The part of a solution that does the dissolving.
What is Solute - Dissolved
What is Solvent - Dissolving
When you agitate a solution it makes it dissolve _______.
Faster
A substance that dissolves in another substance (solvent) to form a homogeneous mixture.
What is a Solute?
A measurement of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent
What is Concentration?
The speed at which a solute spreads out uniformly into a solvent
What is Rate of dissolution?
Adding more water to Kool-Aid makes it weaker. This word describes that action.
What is Dilution
Which of these has a faster rate of dissolution? Why?
The granulated sugar. Surface Area
A substance in which another substance (solute) is dissolved to form a homogeneous mixture.
What is a Solvent?
The process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution.
What is Dilution?
When two or more atoms combine
What is a Molecule?
This solution is the most concentrated
What is 5.
What are the 3 main factors of the Rate of Dissolution?
Temperature, Surface Area, and Agitation
The exposed area of a solid; expressed as squared units of length.
What is Surface Area?
The process of a solute becoming uniformly dispersed in a solvent, resulting in the formation of a solution
What is Dissolve?
A substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds
What is a Compound?
A student mixes Gatorade powder with water. It tastes too strong. How they can dilute it and what happens to the concentration?
Add more water (solvent), it will decrease the concentration.
A student drops three sugar cubes into three cups of water:
Cup A: hot water, stirred
Cup B: hot water, not stirred
Cup C: cold water, stirred
Which cup will dissolve the sugar cubes the fastest, and why?
Cup A, because higher temperature and stirring both increase the rate of dissolution
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.
What is Solubility?
The stirring or mixing of a solution so as to increase the particle movement of the solute particles in solution
What is Agitation?
A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
What is an Element?
Mrs. Penske stirs sugar into iced tea until no more sugar will dissolve and some sits at the bottom of the glass. What type of solution has he made?
A saturated solution
Increasing this variable allows more solvent molecules to directly contact the outer particles of a solid solute at once, significantly speeding up how quickly it dissolves.
What is surface area?
