Agitation
the act of tirring, shaking, or mixing
Aqueous
a solution that has a substance dissolved in water
Colloid
a heterogeneous mixture containing particles that are between 1 nm and 100 nm in diameter
Concentrated
solutions containing a high concentration of solute
Dilute
a solution containing a low concentration of solute
Homogeneous
a mixture having unvaried amounts when sampled; separate physically
Ionization
the splitting of ionic compound into their components when dissolved in water
Molarity
the measure in moles per liter of a solution
Saturated
a solution where the max amount of solute has been reached. Equilibrium
Solubility
the ability of a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent
Solubility curve
a graph showing the dependence of solubility on temperature
Solute
the substance being dissolved
Solution
a homogeneous mixture formed when dissolving a solute in a solvent
Solvation
the act of dissolving
Solvent
the dissolving medium
Supersaturated
a solution where the max amount has been surpassed and crytals begin to form
Surface tension
the inward force or pull that tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid
Surfactant
the wetting agent such as soap or detergent that decreases the surface tension
Suspension
mixtures from which particles settle out upon standing and the average particle size is greater than 100 nm in diameter
Tyndall effect
the phenomenon observed when a beam of light passed through a colloid or suspension
Unsaturated
a solution where the concentration is low and is capable of dissolving more solute
