occurs when a solute is pulled apart into a liquid
dissolve
the same amount all the way throughout
homogeneous
substance that does the dissolving
solvent
homogeneous mixture of two or more substances that form a liquid or solid phase
solution
substance being dissolved
solute
liquids that are completely soluble in each other
miscible
liquids that do not dissolve in each other to any significant extent
immiscible
process in which solute molecules or ions are surrounded by solvent molecules
solvation
solvation with water as the solvent
hydration
separation of an ionic compound into ions when solvated
dissociation
separation of a molecular compound into ions when solvated
ionization
true or false: stirring brings more solute particles into contact with solvent molecules and moves solvated solute particles away from the undissolved solute
true
true or false: crushing or grinding a solute into small particles does not hasten its dissolution
false; it does speed it up
does increasing temperature speed up the solution process?
yes it does
disorder in the universe
entropy
true or false: the more alike molecules are, the more likely they are to form a solution
true; like dissolves like
process of a dissolved solute returning to its crystalline form
crystallization
situation in which the rate of crystallization equals the rate of dissolution and the amount of undissolved solid remains constant
solution equilibrium
state in which two opposite processes are continuously occurring at equal rates so that they offset each other
dynamic equilibrium
solution containing all the solute possible under equilibrium conditions at a given temperature
saturated solution
amount of solute present in a saturated solution
solubility
solution containing less solute than it could at equilibrium at a specific temperature
unsaturated
solution containing more solute than it could under equilibrium conditions at a specific temperature
supersaturated
true or false: the solubility of liquid or solid solutes in liquid solvents is virtually unaffected by ordinary pressure changes
true
