Chemistry Chapter 16

unsaturated solution

a solution that contains less solute at a given temperature and pressure

saturated solution

contains the maximum amount of solute for the amount of solvent at a constant temperature and pressure

supersaturated solution

contains more solute than it can hold at a temperature

henrys law

S1/P1=S2/P2

molarity

M=moles solute/L solution

parts per million

PPM=(mass solute/mass solution) x 1,000,000

dilution formula

M1V1=M2V2

%mass/%mass

%=(mass solute/mass solution) x100

%volume/%volume

%=(volume solute/volume solution) x 100

colligative property

a property that depends on the number of solute particles and not identity

colligative properties

vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and freezing point depression
