Solubility

Solubility

________: The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.

Solvent

________: The substance that dissolves the solute in a solution.

Dilution

________: The process of adding solvent to a solution to decrease its concentration.

Molarity

________: The number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Solution

________: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where the solute is evenly distributed throughout the solvent.

Concentration

________: The amount of solute present in a given amount of solution.

Solute

________: The substance that is being dissolved in a solution.

Solubility curve

________: A graph that shows the relationship between solubility and temperature for a particular solute- solvent combination.

Solvation

________: The process of surrounding solute particles with solvent particles to form a solution.
