solute

A substance that is dissolved in a solution.

solvent

A substance capable of dissolving other substances

aqueous solution

A solution in which water is the solvent

saturated solution

immiscible

Two liquids which do not mix together and form two layers

dilute solution

Describes a solution that has a small amount of solute

concentrated solution

Describes a solution that has a large amount of solute

solubility

A measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solvent at a given temperature

concentration
