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.
