Mixture & Solution

LESSON OBJECTIVES

K: i) more key-terms such as colloids, suspensions, homogenous, solubility

ii) additional properties of solutions
iii) factors affecting rates of dissolving solutes in liquids
iv) factors affecting solubility

U : i)explain how certain solution could conduct electricity.

ii)explain how the given factors could affect the solubility of a substance
and the rates of dissolving solutes using Kinetic Theory of Particle

D : student will do research, discuss and present on the factors affecting

solubility and rates of dissolving substances in group.
Types of Mixtures

Solutions

Suspensions

Colloids
Suspensions

 A mixture in which the particles are so large

that they settle out unless the mixture is
constantly stirred or agitated.
 Ex. a jar of muddy water

Provide more examples please!!

Colloids

 A mixture in which the particles are

intermediate in size between those in
solutions and suspensions.
Ex. paints, milk,

Can you list more examples?

 Solutions are:

A homogeneous mixture of two or more

substances in a single phase
 Composed of:
1. Solvent- the substance that does the dissolving
2. Solute- the substance that is being dissolved

Example: In sugar water, water is the solvent and

sugar is the solute.
Some solutions conduct
electricity:
 Electrolytes - a  Nonelectrolyte - a
solution that solution that does not
conducts electricity conduct electricity
as a result of the because there is no
formation of ions in
solution (examples: formation of ions in
salt water, vinegar) solutions (ex: sugar in
water)
Factors Affecting Rates of
Dissolving Solids in Liquids:

1. Surface Area- increasing surface area increases

the rate of dissolving
2. Agitation- stirring or shaking increases rate of
dissolving
3. Heat- heating the solvent will increase the rate of
dissolving
Solubility

 The amount of a substance that is dissolved at solution

equilibrium in a specific amount of solvent at a specified
temperature.

Factors Affecting Solubility:

1. Nature of Solute and Solvent- “like dissolves like”-
polar dissolves polar-nonpolar dissolves nonpolar
2. Pressure
3. Temperature
3 Classifications of Solutions:

 Saturated- a solution that contains the max. amount

of dissolved solute at a given temp.
 Unsaturated- a solution that contains less solute than
a saturated solution at a given temp.
 Supersaturated- a solution that contains more
dissolved solute than a saturated solution at a given
temp.
Solubility Curves:

 Show how much solute can go into solution with a given

amount of solvent at different temperatures.
