Solubility- Physical Science
solubility
a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature
colloid
a mixture containing small, undissolved particles that do not settle out; scatters light
suspension
a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily sperated by settling or filtration; a suspension does not have the same properties throughout
dilute solution
a mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent
precipitate
a solid that forms from solution during a chemical reaction; excess solute comes out of the solution
soluble
a substance that can be dissolved in another
insoluble
a substance that cannot be dissolved in another
concentrated solution
has a lot of solute dissolved in the solvent
solution
has the same properties throughout; contains solute particles that are too small to see
mixture
made of two or mor substances- elements, compounds, or both- that are together in the same place but are not chemically combined
ways to increase rate of dissolving
solid to liquid- stir, heat it up, crush it/gas to liquid- cool, increase pressure
solvent
the part of a solution present in the largest amount; dissolves the other substances
solute
the substance present in a solution in a smaller amount; dissolved by the solvent
homogeneous mixture
the substances are so evenly mixed that you can't see the different parts
dissolve
to break up into particles too samll to see with the naked eye
saturated solution
when you've added so much solute that no more dissolves
unsaturated solution
you can continue to dissolve more solute
heterogeneous mixture
you can see the different parts of the mixture
