Which solids will dissolve? Dayna Lee Martínez STARS – USF Maniscalco Elementary
Review • Mixture • A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined and that can be separated. • Could you give me an example? • Homogeneous vs. heterogeneous mixtures • Homogeneous mixtures are of uniform appearance • Heterogeneous mixtures consists of visibly different substances
Chocolate milk Carbonated water Alloys Solutions • Solution • A solution is a group of molecules that are mixed up in a completely even distribution.
Solute and Solvent • Solute • A solute is the substance to be dissolved. • Solvent • A solvent is the substance doing the dissolving.
Structure of the substance Temperature Pressure Solubility • Solubility • Ability of the solvent to dissolve the solute. • Factors that affect solubility
Classification of solutions • Saturated solutions • have the maximum amount of solute dissolved in them. No more solute can be made to dissolve. • Unsaturated solutions • have less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in them. This means that more solute could be added to the solution and the additional solute would still dissolve. • Supersaturated solutions • have more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in them. Not all substances will form supersaturated solutions. http://genchem.chem.wisc.edu/demonstrations/gen_chem_pages/11solutionspage/crystallization_from_super.htm
Saturated Unsaturated Supersaturated
Suspensions • The particles in suspensions are larger than those found in solutions. Components of a suspension can be evenly distributed by mechanical means, like by shaking the contents, but the components will settle out. Chalk in water Dust in air
Which solids will dissolve? At the end of today’s experiment we will be able to answer this question for the following solids: sand, sugar, salt and baking soda
