Term
heterogeneous mixture
Definition
a mixture characterized by visibly different parts.
Term
homogenous mixture
Definition
a mixture that does not have visibly distinguishable parts.
Term
solvent
Definition
substance that does the dissolving.
Term
solute
Definition
the substance that is dissolved.
Term
soluble
Definition
Capable of being dissolved.
Term
insoluble
Definition
incapable of being dissolved.
Term
alloys
Definition
Solid solutions that contain two or more metals. Formed by melting the component metals together, mixing them together, and then allowing them to cool.
Term

Definition
A substance that dissolves in water to form a solution that conducts an electric current, like sodium chloride.
Term
nonelectrolyte
Definition
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct electricity, like sugar.
Term
concentration of a solution
Definition
the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.
Term

Term
saturated solution
Definition
A solution is saturated if it contains as much solute as can possible be dissolved under the existing conditions of temperature and pressure.
Term
unsaturated solution
Definition
A solution that has less than the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved.
Term
supersaturated solution

Definition
increases
Term
Henry's law
Definition
The solubility of a gas is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.

Definition
increases
Term
Raising the temperature of a solvent _______ the rate at which a solid solute dissolves.
Definition
increases
Term
colligative properties
Definition
Properties that are dependent upon the concentration of solute particles, but are independent of their nature.
Term
