Scientifically what is a solution?
Scientifically, a solution is a liquid mixture of a solute and a solvent. The solute is the minor component which is distributed evenly inside the solvent which is the major component.
Compare the three states of water in terms of the speed and arrangement of their molecules?
When water is in its gaseous form, the molecules are spread far apart and moving very quickly. In the liquid form, molecules are spread evenly and move at an average speed. In its solid form, the molecules are very close together and move very slowly.
What is true if a liquid and a gas are in equilibrium?
liquid molecules forming a gas and gas molecule forming a liquid are equal in number
Why do water molecules cohere to form a liquid?
Water molecules are already in liquid form.
Are the molecules in water closer together when it is a solid or when it is a liquid?
when the water molecules are of a liquid, they are farther apart and able to move around the space of the liquid as apposed to a solid where the molecules are closely packed together and cannot move much. i hope that answers your question.
When molecules are evenly distributed through a liquid what is it called?
equilibrium
Does the food coloring stay at the bottom of the container or does it mix with the liquid above it?
The food coloring will eventually mix with the liquid through the process of diffusion. At the start, all of the dye molecules are close together (so the area that they are in contains a high concentration of dye molecules). As they move around, they eventually move from this area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (the rest of the water). After this process of diffusion is complete, the dye molecules are evenly distributed thoughout the entire liquid (the concentration is equal everywhere).
Is milk in a carton a suspension?
No, that is simply liquid in a container. It happens that milk is actually a colloidal dispersion, which means that microscopic particles are evenly distributed in a (semi) liquid medium that will stay together. A suspension means that slightly larger particles are evenly distributed in a (semi) liquid medium that will ultimately separate again.
How are emulsions different from gels?
An emulsion is a uniform dispersion of one liquid in another liquid which are immiscible or non-blendable. A colloid, meanwhile, is a uniform dispersion of fine solid particles in a liquid medium.
What is a Mixture in which insoluble particles are evenly mixed through a liquid?
yes
What type of mixture containing insoluble particles is mixed evenly through a liquid?
suspension
What type of mixture contains insoluble particles mixed evenly through a liquid?
suspension
What can the particles in a solution and a colloid do?
A Colloid is a type of mechanical mixture in which extremely small particles of on or more substances are evenly and stably distributed in one or more others. A Suspension is a mechanical mixture consisting of a liquid or gas with small particles that are distributed through it, but that separate out if the suspension is left undisturbed
What is the condition achieved when molecules are evenly spread in an area?
They do so in all (3) 'states of matter' (gas, liquid, solid) but their freedom in movement is very different, as is the mean distance between molecules or atoms (if you compare for instance liquid or solid with gas). However, all particles are evenly spread when 'in one particular state of matter'.
Are solutions always liquid Explain?
Yes, a solution is always a liquid. A solution is defined as: a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent). In other words, a small amount of a dry component (usually a powder) is dissolved into a liquid and is evenly distributed throughout it. The solute will not come out of the liquid by itself, but will remain equally mixed unless acted on by outside factors (like boiling).
What is the movement of molecules through a membrane due to the pressure of a liquid on that membrane?
Osmosis.
Why water molecules cannot diffuse directly through the phosolipids bilayer?
Hydrophobic centre of the phospholipid bilayer prevents non-liquid soluble molecules from passing through.
