Processes
Process of water molecules being attracted to and surrounding ions in aqueous solutions.
What is hydration?
In this process, the net flow of energy is into the system. The surroundings lose heat to the system.
What is an endothermic process?
A substance that dissociates in water to produce an electrically conductive solution.
What is an electrolyte?
The solid substance dissolved into a liquid solvent to form a solution.
What is a solute?
The extent to which a solute is soluble in a solvent.
What is solubility?
The process of separating into independent ions in solution.
What is dissociation?
In this process, the net flow of energy is out of the system. The surroundings gain heat from the system.
What is an exothermic process?
A solid that forms when reactants in solution combine to form an insoluble product.
What is a precipitate?
A liquid into which a solid dissolves to form a solution.
What is a solvent?
Able to mix together in any proportions to form a solution.
What is miscible?
The process of dissolving.
What is dissolution?
The net amount of heat energy absorbed or released during the process of dissolution.
What is the heat of solution?
An ion that appears on both the reactant side and the product side in an ionic equation. Does not participate in the reaction.
What is a spectator ion?
A uniform mixture of two or more pure substances; a homogenous mixture.
What is a solution?
A measure of solution concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
What is molarity?
The process of polar solvent molecules being attracted to and surrounding ions in solution. A general term.
What is solvation?
The thermodynamic variable associated with the degree of disorder present in a system.
What is entropy?
This is formed when particles of size 1 micrometer or larger are dispersed in a fluid (liquid or gas) medium.
What is a suspension?
A solution containing the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature.
What is a saturated solution?
Able to dissolve in a given solvent to an appreciable degree.
What is soluble?
