Solubility Rules, Single Replacement Rxns, Activity Series & Concentration/Molarity

A solution is composed of…

solute dissolved in a solvent (homogeneous mixture)

Solute:

Substance that gets dissolved (lesser amount)

Solvent:

Substance that does the dissolving (greater amount)

Aqueous:

Solvent is water (aq)

Soluble:

Dissolves in solvent

Dissolution:

Ionic solute breaks apart into ions

Insoluble

Does not dissolve in solvent

Precipitation

Process of 2 ions (cation & anion) coming otgether to form an insoluble compound

Concentrated

Solution that has a lot of solute per solvent

Dilute

Solution with a small amount of solute

Concentration:

The measure of the amount of solute present in a given quantity of solvent or solution, often expressed in terms of molarity.
