What is the term use for water and other charged particles?
Hm, well a charged particle is generally called an ion, but water isn't considered a charged particle. It is the universal solvent in which ionic compounds can be dissolved to produce an ionic solution, however.
When solute particles are added to a pure solvent in a closed container at a constant temperature and pressuer the vapor pressure?
it increases
How does chromotograhy work using particles?
Chromatography is a way of separating solutions. In schools dyes are usually used to illustrate this. Most dyes are actually solutions of different coloured chemicals. The colours are the solute particles. They are attracted by the solvent particles and the chromotography paper. Each solute is attracted by a different amount. When the colour is separated by chromotography the solutes which are held strongest by the solvent travel the furthest whereas the solutes that are held the strongest by the paper travel the least.
How adding solute changes the properties of a solvent?
Solutes raise and lower the boiling points of solvents. :)
What reduces vapor pressure?
When a solute is added to a solvent, the vapor pressure of the solvent (above the resulting solution) is lower than the vapor pressure above the pure solvent. if the solution is non volatile like water, you can add something like Table salt (NaCl) or Soap (sodium stearate) as a solute. if the solution is volatile like xenon, you can add something like krypton as a solute. regards
What happens to the particles of a solute when a solution form?
The particles of solute dissolve in the solvent when the solution forms.
Why do solute particles have to be mixed with solvent particles in order to create a solution?
What are solute particles
What are particle solutions?
Solute particles are the particles of solid material that are being placed into a solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent makes a solution.
When solid is dissolved in a liquid?
When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.
What is the difference between a solute and solvent?
In a solution, the particles which are present in larger quantity are called solvent and the particles which are present in smaller quantity are called solute. For example, in aqueous NaCl solution: NaCl is the solute particle and H2O is the solvent.
What is a suspention?
A suspention is a solution where the particles of the solvent(liquid) are a different size to the particles of the solute(Solid).
Why is solute particles must be attracted to solvent particles to enable formation of a solution?
Solute particles must be attracted to solvent particles because they are opposites, and as everyone knows opposites always attract.
What is the dissolved particles in the solutions?
Solvent
How is a suspension different from a solution?
The particles are bigger in a suspension, and the solute is not dissolved in the solvent but is dissolved in a solution suspension example- sand in water, sand is the solute and water is the solvent solution example- sugar in water, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent
What happens to particles of a solute when they dissolve?
When a solution forms, particles of the solute leave each other.
What Dissolves particles allowing them to enter a solution?
A solvent is the liquid medium that dissolves particles so they can enter a solution. This is necessary in the processes of diffusion and osmosis.
