Solutions Basic Vocabulary Factors that affect the rate of dissolution
Solution Vocabulary • Solution – a uniform mixture that can contain solids, liquids or gases Solution = Solute + Solvent • Solute – one or more substances dissolved in a solution • Solvent – the substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution; the most plentiful substance in the solution
Would the salt or the water be the solute in a salt-water solution?
Solution Vocabulary • Aqueous Solution – a solution in which the solvent is water • Miscible – describes two liquids that are soluble in each other • Immiscible – describes two liquids that are not soluble in each other • Dissolution – how fast the solute dissolves in the solvent
Experiment Time • Numbers 1, 2 and 3 • 1 – only let the Smarties sit on your tongue • 2 – only swirl it around in your mouth • 3 – chew • When yours is gone raise your hand
Factors that affect the rate of dissolution • Temperature • Stirring/Agitation • Surface Area
Temperature • For Solids: • Increase the temperature, increase rate of solute dissolving • Ex: sugar in tea to make sweet tea • Opposite for Gases!! • Increase temperature, decrease rate of solute dissolving • Ex: a carbonated soft drink will lose its fizz (CO2) faster at room temperature
Stirring/ Agitation • Stirring or agitation • moves dissolved solute particles away from the contact surfaces more quickly • allows new collisions between solute and solvent particles to occur
Surface Area • Larger surface area allows more collisions to occur • Which dissolves faster? Why? a teaspoon of granulated sugar cube or a sugar cube
