LEARNING OBJECTIVES Notes
Describe Solutions.
SOLUTIONS
Solutions
What is a Solution? – A homogeneous mixture of two
or more substances in which
the components are present as
atoms, molecules, or ions.
Solutions can be? Solutions can be colored and clear
(transparent).
Particles in a liquid solutions are:
What are the properties of • Too small to reflect light
particles in a liquid solution? • In constant motion and do not
settle under the influence of
gravity (Brownian movement)
REFLECTION
Solutions are a heterogeneous mix of two or more substances that can
appear colored or clear (transparent).
Particles in a liquid solutions also behave in the Brownian movement,
where the solute particles do not settle under the influence of gravity.
, In a solution, there is a:
What is Solvent? • Solvent
– The substance present in the
solution in the largest
amount.
Solvent is also known as the? Solvent is also known as the
dissolving agent in a solution.
What is Solute? • Solute
– One or more substances
present in the solution in the
amount less than the
solvent.
Homogeneous Solution
What is Homogeneous – A mixture in which the
Solution? components are evenly
distributed at the molecular
level, so the entire sample
looks uniform and has the
same composition throughout.
KEY FEATURES OF
HOMOGENEOUS SOLUTIONS:
What phase does Homogeneous • Only one visible phase
solutions have? (looks the same
everywhere).
In a homogeneous solution, • Solute particles are
what happens to solute completely dissolved in
particles? the solvent.
• The composition and
Is there differences in the properties are the same
composition and properties of throughout the solution.
Homogeneous solution?
Ideal Solution
What is an Ideal solution? – Happen when the two liquids
are very similar in molecular
size, polarity, and
intermolecular forces.
REFLECTION
To make a solution, you need a Solvent (dissolving agent) and Solute
(Agent that should be dissolved).
Homogeneous mixture are mixtures with uniform composition, while Ideal
Solution is a homogeneous mixture with similar features like polarity.
