Chemistry: Molarity and Solubility

A collection of vocabulary flashcards related to molarity, solubility, and important chemical equations.

Molarity

A concentration unit defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.

Dilution Equation

M1V1 = M2V2; an equation relating the molarity and volume of a concentrated solution to that of a diluted solution.

Solubility

The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, typically water.

Stock Solution

A concentrated solution used to prepare diluted solutions.

Electrolyte

A substance that dissociates into ions in solution and conducts electricity.

Non-Electrolyte

A substance that does not dissociate into ions in solution and does not conduct electricity.

Spectator Ions

Ions that do not participate in a chemical reaction and remain unchanged.

Net Ionic Equation

An equation that shows only the species that participate in a reaction, excluding spectator ions.

Concentration

The amount of solute in a given volume of solution.

Precipitation Reaction

A reaction that occurs when two solutions combine to form an insoluble solid.

Aqueous (aq)

A term used to describe a substance dissolved in water.

Solid (s)

A term indicating that a substance does not dissolve in water and remains in solid form.
