Solute

A substance that dissolves into another substance, creating a homogenous mixture.

Solvent

A substance that dissolves another substance, creating a homogenous mixture.

Solution

How stirring affects dissolving

Stirring the mixture makes the solute particles move faster, increasing collisions with the solvent particles, leading to faster dissolving.

How particle size affects dissolving

Breaking down a solute into smaller particles increases the surface area exposed to the solvent, allowing for more collisions and faster dissolving.

How temperature affects dissolving

Higher temperatures lead to faster particle movement, increasing the frequency and energy of collisions between solute and solvent particles, resulting in faster dissolving.

Study Notes

Key Terms in Chemistry

  • Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space.
  • Pure Substance: Made of only one kind of particle (e.g., sugar, water).
  • Mixture: Made of more than one kind of particle (e.g., air, salad).
  • Mechanical Mixture: A mixture where you can see the different parts (e.g., sand and water).
  • Solution: A mixture where the different parts are not visible (e.g., sugar dissolved in water).
  • Solute: The substance that dissolves in a solution.
  • Solvent: The substance that dissolves the solute in a solution.
  • Particle: A very small piece of matter that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
  • Particle Theory of Matter: The ideas that scientists use to explain how matter behaves.
  • Kinetic Energy: Energy that particles have because they are moving.

Particle Theory of Matter

  • All matter is made up of tiny particles.
  • In a single substance, all the particles are identical.
  • Particles are always moving.
  • The speed of particles moving is affected by temperature.
  • There are spaces between particles.
  • Particles have forces of attraction between them.

Changes of State

  • Melting: A solid changing to a liquid.
  • Freezing: A liquid changing to a solid.
  • Evaporation: A liquid changing to a gas.
  • Condensation: A gas changing to a liquid.

Factors Affecting Solubility (and Dissolving)

  • Stirring: Increases the rate of dissolving by spreading the solute particles throughout the solvent.
  • Particle Size: Smaller particles dissolve faster because more of them come into contact with the solvent particles.
  • Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the speed of the particles, allowing more contact between the solute and solvent and thus increasing the rate of dissolving.

Separating Mixtures and Solutions

  • Filtration: Separates a solid from a liquid by using a filter.
  • Evaporation: Separates a solid from a liquid by heating the liquid, causing it to evaporate.
  • Chromatography: Separates mixtures of substances based on their differing tendencies to dissolve in a solvent.
  • Sorting: Categorizes particles by size, shape, or color.
  • Magnetism: Separates magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials.
  • Sifting: Separates mixtures of solids by size using a mesh screen.
