Soluble

Able to be dissolved in a solvent.

Solution

A homogeneous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another.

Solvent

The substance in a solution that does the dissolving (usually present in the greatest amount).

Solute

The substance that is dissolved in a solution.

Suspension

A heterogeneous mixture in which particles are large enough to settle out over time.

Colloid

A mixture where very small particles of one substance is evenly distributed throughout another without settling out.

Electrolyte

A substance that dissolves in water to produce a solution that conducts electricity.

Nonelectrolyte

A substance that dissolves in water but does not produce ions or conduct electricity.

Solution Equilibrium

The state where the rate of dissolution and the rate of crystallization are equal.

Saturated Solution

A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

Unsaturated Solution

A solution that can dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Supersaturated Solution

A solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature.

Solubility

The amount of a substance that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.

Hydration

The process where water molecules surround and interact with solute particles.

Immiscible

Liquids that do not mix to form a solution (e.g., oil and water).

Miscible

Liquids that mix in all proportions to form a solution.

Solvated

Describes a solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules.

Concentration

A measure of the amount of solute dissolved in a given quantity of solvent or solution.

Molarity (M)

The number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Molality (m)

The number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
