Term
Solute
Definition
the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.
Term
Solvent
Definition
a substance in which another substance is dissolved; major component of a solution
Term
Solution
Definition
Homogeneous mixture of two of more pure substances.
Term
Dissociation
Definition
Breaking down of a molecule in to two or more units.
Term
Dispersion
Definition
Distributing the solute particles evenly in the solvent to make a solution.
Term
Ionization
Definition
A process by which an atom acquires a positive or negative charge; water causes this to most ionic substances.
Term
Solubility
Definition
the ability of a solute to be dissolved, especially in water.
Term
Solubilitycurve
Definition
A graph showing how much of a solute dissolves in a given solvent at a given temperature.
Term
Saturatedsolution
Definition
a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. ?The additional solute will not dissolve in a saturated solution.
Term
Unsaturatedsolution
Definition
a chemical solution in which the solute concentration is lower than its equilibrium solubility; more solute can be added to this solution.
Term
Supersaturatedsolution
Definition
a solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given temperature; solute immidiately crystalizes from this solution upon cooling.
Term
Concentration Amount
Definition
of solute in a given amont of solution
Term
Molarity
Definition
the concentration of a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution:
Term
Electrolyte
Definition
A substance that consists of ions and conducts electricity in water.
Term
Non-Electrolyte
Definition
A substance that disssolves in water but doesn
Term
Alloy
Definition
a homogeneous solution of two or more metals
Term
Homogeneous
Definition
The same throughout,
Term
Aqueous
Definition
solution A solution in which water is the solvent
Term
Soluble
Definition
Can be dissolved by a particular solvent
Term
Insoluble
Definition
Cannot be dissolved by a particular solvent
Term
Solvation
Definition
The process of dissolving in which solvent particles surround and pull apart solute particles, distributing them evenly throughout the solution; happens at the surface of a solute and results from random molecular motion
