Study Notes
Liquid Solutions
- Comprise a liquid solvent along with either a gas, liquid, or solid dissolved within it.
Solution
- Defined as a homogeneous mixture consisting of elements or compounds.
Solvation
- Refers to the process of forming a solution by dissolving a solute into a solid.
Solvent
- The substance responsible for the dissolving action within a solution.
Solute
- The material that is being dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
Miscible
- Term for liquids that are capable of dissolving in one another without separation.
Immiscible
- Describes liquids that do not dissolve in one another, maintaining separate phases.
Solid Solutions
- Mixtures where solids are uniformly distributed at the atomic or molecular level.
Gas Solutions
- Form when two or more gases dissolve in each other, resulting in a homogeneous mixture due to the constant, random motion of gas molecules which promotes equal distribution over time.
Solubility
- Indicates the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a specific quantity of solvent or solution at a certain temperature.
Saturated Solution
- A type of solution that contains the maximum amount of solute possible for a given temperature.
Solution Equilibrium
- Occurs when saturated solutions are in a state where the dissolution and crystallization processes balance each other.
Supersaturated
- Refers to solutions that hold more solute than what is typically possible in a saturated solution, achieved under special conditions.
