8568768660componenteach of the substances in a solution0
8568768661solventnormally the component present in the greatest amount1
8568768662solutescomponents within solution that are in lesser amounts than others2
8568768663aqueous solutionssolutions that contain water as a solvent and a gas, liquid, or solid as the solute3
8568768664solvationinteractions between solute and solvent molecules4
8568768665hydrationinteractions between solute and solvent molecules (solvation) in which the solvent is water5
8568768666entropythermodynamic quantity that describes the degree of randomness or disorder of a system in a solution; formation of solution is favored by greater entropy6
8568768667miscibledescribes pairs of liquids that mix/dissolve in all proportions ex: acetone and water7
8568768668immiscibledescribes pairs of liquids that do not dissolve in one another8
8568768669dilutesolution with a relatively small concentration of solute; measures cnc qualitatively9
8568768670concentratedsolution with a relatively high concentration of solute; measures cnc qualitatively10
8568768671mass percentage(mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100%11
8568768672parts per million (ppm)mass or volume of solute/ mass or volume of solution x 1,000,000; used to describe solutes in extremely low concentration12
8568768673molarityThe number of moles of solute per liter of solution; depends on volume of total solution13
8568768674mole fractionThe ratio of the moles of solute in solution to the total number of moles of both solvent and solute14
8568768675molalitythe concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent; depends on mass of solvent15
8568768676colligative propertiesproperties that depend on the quantity (cnc) and not the type or quality of the solute particles16
8568768677nonvolatilesubstance that has no measurable vapor pressure17
8568768678volatilesubstance that exhibits a vapor pressure18
8568768679vapor pressurepressure exerted by a vapor when equilibrium is reached19
8568768680Raoult's lawlaw stating that the partial pressure exerted by solvent vapor above a solution (P(A)) equals the product of the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution (X(A)) times the vapor pressure of the pure solvent20
8568768681ideal solutionsolution that obeys Raoult's law; very few solutions obey this law21
8568768682molal boiling-point-elevation constantA constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the increase in boiling point as function of solution molality: ⌂Tb = K(b)m.22
8568768683molal freezing-point-depression constantA constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the decrease of freezing point as a function of solution molality: ⌂Tf = K(f)m23
8568768684semipermeablecharacteristic of certain materials that allow some molecules to pass through their network of tiny pores but not others; allow small solvent molecules like water to pass through but not larger solute molecules or ions24
8568768685osmosisnet movement of solvent molecules from the less concentrated solution into the more concentrated one25
8568768686osmotic pressurepressure required to prevent osmosis by pure solvent26
8568768687isotoniccharacteristic of two solutions of identical osmotic pressure are separated by a semipermeable surface27
8568768688hypotoniccharacteristic of a solution of lower osmotic pressure28
8568768689hypertoniccharacteristic of a solution of higher osmotic pressure; more concentrated with respect to the diluted solution29
8568768690colloidal dispersionsMixtures containing particles larger than normal solutes but small enough to remain suspended in the dispersing medium.30
8568768691colloidintermediate types of dispersions or suspensions in which dispersed particles are larger than typical molecules but smaller than separate components of the mixture influenced by gravity31
8568768692Tyndall effectthe scattering of light by colloidal particles because light can pass through the suspension32
8568768693hydrophiliccharacteristic of water-loving colloids33
8568768694hydrophobiccharacteristic of water-fearing colloids34
8568768695dissolutionthe process of dissolving35
