Here are the notes we covered in class for section 7.1 on Solutions, Colloids and Suspensions.
Remember, your homework is the Section Assessment #1-3 on page 227!
1. What is a solution?
2. What is the difference between a solute and a solution?
3. What is the “universal solvent”? Give examples of these types of solutions.
4. What are some examples of solutions without water?
5. What is a colloid? Give an example.
6. Does a colloid or solution contain larger particles?
7. What is a suspension? Please give an example.
8. What is the difference between a solution and a suspension?
9. Why do solutes seem to disappear when you mix them with a solvent?
10. What happens when an ionic solid mixes with water?
11. What happens when a covalent (molecular) solid mixes with water?
12. How can you tell the difference between solutions of ionic compounds and solutions of covalent (molecular) compounds differ in water?
13. What do solutes do to the freezing point and boiling points of solvents? Please give an example.
14. How does salt lower the freezing point of water?
15. How does antifreeze use the properties of solutes and solutions to protect car engines?
See you tomorrow!
