It is one of the most common solvents in nature.
It is polar, thus it is a polar solvent.
It is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a certain temperature.
It is used to describe the amount of a solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent
It is usually expressed in grams of solute in 100 g of solvent.
It appears transparent, although it may have a color.
The particles are so small that they go through filters and through semipermeable membranes.
These are large molecules, such as proteins, or groups of molecules or ions.
These are small enough to pass through filters but too large to pass through semipermeable membranes.
These are heterogeneous, nonuniform mixtures that are very different from solutions or colloids.
The particles of these are so large that they can often be seen with the naked eye.
A dialyzing membrane, permits small solute molecules and ions as well as solvent water molecules to pass through, but it retains large particles, such as colloids.
It is a way to separate solution particles from colloids.
