Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure. It is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent, forming a solution. Solubility can be affected by: Temperature: For most solid solutes, solubility increases with temperature, while for … Read more
a. Colloids and Suspensions Aspect Colloids Suspensions Particle Size 1 nm to 1000 nm Larger than 1000 nm Visibility Cannot be seen by the naked eye. Can be seen by the naked eye. Stability Stable, particles do not settle. Unstable, particles eventually settle. Examples Milk, smoke, fog. Muddy water, sand in water. b. Elements and … Read more
State of Matter Definition Characteristics Examples Solid Matter in a state where particles are closely packed and vibrate but do not move freely. Definite shape and volume. Ice, iron, wood. Liquid Matter in a state where particles are close together but can move past each other. Definite volume but no definite shape; takes shape of … Read more
Aspect Solvent Solute Definition The substance that dissolves the solute and is usually present in the greater amount. The substance that dissolves in the solvent and is usually present in a lesser amount. State Solvent can be in any state (solid, liquid, gas), but most commonly in liquid form. Solute can also be in any … Read more
Aspect Colloids Suspensions Particle Size The particles are larger than molecules but smaller than those in suspensions, ranging from 1 nm to 1000 nm. The particles are much larger than those in colloids (greater than 1000 nm). Visibility of Particles Particles are not visible to the naked eye. Particles are visible to the naked eye … Read more
Aspect Homogeneous Solution Heterogeneous Solution Definition A solution where the composition is uniform throughout. A solution where the composition is not uniform and can be distinguished into different phases. Components Consists of a single phase (solid, liquid, or gas). Composed of multiple phases. Appearance Appears uniform in composition and cannot be distinguished by the naked … Read more
