Chapter 12 - Volumetric analysis

Def of solution

A solution is a uniform mixture of a solute and a solvent

Def of solute

A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent

Def of solvent

A solvent is a substance that dissolves in a solute

Def of unsaturated

Unsaturated solution is a solution in which more solute can be dissolved

Def of saturated

Saturated solutiuon is a solution in which the miximum amount of solute has been dissolved at that temperature

Def of supersaturate

Supersaturated solutions contains more solute that is capable of being dissolved under normal circumstances at that tempertature

Def of concentration

Concentration of a solution is the quantity of solute contained in a certain volume of solutions

Def of concentrated

Concentrated is a lot of solute in a small volume of solute

Def of dialute

Dialute is a small amount of solute in a large volume of water

def of simple dialution

A simple dialution is a single step dialution

Def of serial dialution

A serial dialution is a solution repeatedly diluted by a constant factor in a number of steps

Def of standard solution

standard solution is one whose concentration is accurately known

Def primary standard

Primart standard is a substance that can be obtained in a pure and soluble form which can be dissolved on deionised water to make a standard solution

definition of standardised solution

solution whose concentration is accurately determined by titration
