Solutions & Colligative Properties

A solution in dynamic equilibrium with undissolved solute, containing the maximum amount that will dissolve at that temperature.

rate dissolve = rate crystallise mol/L

A barrier that allows solvent molecules to pass while blocking larger solute particles.

Dimensionless

Solutions & Colligative Properties

A colloidal system consisting of solid particles dispersed throughout a liquid medium.

nm

Solutions & Colligative Properties

The maximum quantity of a solute that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature to give a saturated solution.

S = g solute / 100 g solvent g/100 g

Solutions & Colligative Properties

The amount of a gas that dissolves in a given volume of liquid at a stated temperature and partial pressure.

S ∝ p, S decreases with T mol/L

Solutions & Colligative Properties

The component of a solution present in the smaller amount, which is dispersed throughout the solvent.

mol

Solutions & Colligative Properties

A homogeneous mixture in which one or more substances are dispersed uniformly at the molecular or ionic level in another.

Dimensionless

Solutions & Colligative Properties

The surrounding and stabilisation of a solute particle by a shell of solvent molecules.

kJ/mol

Solutions & Colligative Properties

The component of a solution present in the greater amount, which dissolves and disperses the solute.

L

Solutions & Colligative Properties

A concentrated solution prepared in advance and stored for later dilution to working strength.

mol/L

Solutions & Colligative Properties

An unstable solution containing more dissolved solute than the equilibrium solubility at that temperature.
