Document Summary

Solutions - homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances molecules, atoms, and/or ions) Physical state is typically that of the solvent. Components are dispersed on a molecular scale (consists of a mixture of separated. The dissolved solute will not settle out/separate from the solvent. Composition of a solution can be varied continuously, within limits. Solvent - one component of the solution present in greater concentration. Solutes - other components of the solution present in lesser concentrations. Aqueous solution - solution where water is the solvent. Aqueous solutions tend to be the norm, but gases, liquids, and solids can act as a solvent. Alloys - solid solutions of one metal dissolved in another. When dissolved, molecules become uniformly distributed among the. When dissolved, the ionic compound dissociates to yield potassium and water molecules sucrose molecules are heavier than water. K (aq) cr o (aq) dichromate ions uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
