Solutions Vocabulary Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• rate of dissolution : how quickly a substance is dissolved
• polarity : separation of charge throughout a molecule due to differences in electronegativity between atoms in the molecule, resulting in overall partial
• agitation : the process of inducing movement in a liquid or mixture to enhance mixing, promote reactions, and ensure homogeneity
• supersaturated : a solution in which a lot of solute has been dissolved, then the temperature of the solution is carefully lowered to precariously hold more solute in the solution than can normally be dissolved at that lower temperature
• temperature : a measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
• solute : one or more substances dissolved in a solution
• non electrolyte : a solution containing only neutral molecules or atoms; cannot conduct electricity
• dilution : process of systematically reducing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent
• saturated : a solution in which more solute cannot be dissolved without changing the temperature
• solution : a substance (described as a solute) dissolved into a more voluminous solvent to form an aqueous mixture
• solvent : the substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution; the most plentiful substance in the solution
• solubility curve : depicts the relationship between a solute and solvent at various temperatures
• surface area : the total area of the surface of a material
• molarity : the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution; also known as molar concentration
• unsaturated : a solution in which more solute could be dissolved without changing the temperature
• electrolyte : a solution containing freely moving ions, allowing the solution to conduct electricity
• solubility : ability of a solute to dissolve into a solvent
• aqueous : a homogeneous mixture where water is the solvent and one or more substances are uniformly dispersed in it
