QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS.
Freezing point depression - correct answer-solutions freeze at
lower temperatures than pure liquids
Boiling point - correct answer-solutions boil at higher
temperatures than of the pure solvent
Osmosis - correct answer-diffusion driven transfer of solvent
molecules through a semipermeable membrane is...
Osmotic pressure - correct answer-when the pressure reaches
a value that yields a reverse solvent transfer rate equal to the
osmosis rat, bulk transfer of solvent ceases.
Hypotonic - correct answer-RBC swell and rupture
, Isotonic - correct answer-maintain shape
Hypertonic - correct answer-shrivel and possibly die
Colloids or colloidal dispersions - correct answer-properties
intermediate between those of suspensions and solutions
Tyndall effect - correct answer-particles in a colloid that are
large enough to scatter light, making the mixture cloudy or
opaque
Dispersed phase - correct answer-particulate components in a
minor amount
Dispersion medium - correct answer-the substance or solution
throughout which the particulate is dispersed
Emulsion - correct answer-shaking together or blending two
immiscible liquids
