Solutions and Solubility

Homogeneous Mixture - Solution, equal distribution    ~Solvent- thing doing the dissolving    ~Solute - thing being dissolved    ~Soluble - able to be dissolved    ~Insoluble - unable to be dissolved TABLE 15.1 (pg 454) Polar -  Nonpolar - With fats and acids etc.                      "Like dissolves like" Diatomic Elements - nonpolar Solubility Curve for Solids - solubility increases as temperature increases, IF the dissolving reaction is endothermic Factors that Affect "Rate of Dissolving" (Salvation) -     ~Temperature - Molecules move more rapidly    ~Agitation - to stir or shake, molecules move more rapidly, dissolving rate increases    ~Surface Area - more solute in contact with solute   Factors that Affect "solubility" -     ~Nature of solvent/solute is the polarity    ~Temperature    ~Pressure is for gases only  Solubility Curve for Gases -     ~Solubility decreases, temperature increases    ~Solubility increases, temperature increases
