Science- Chapter 18 solutions, crystals and solubility curves.

solvent

substance that dissolves other materials to form a solution

solution

a perfect mixture of a solute and a solvent

a suspension

a mixture in which small solid or liquid particles are suspended in a liquid or gas

dilute solution

a solution in which there is a small amount of solute in a large amount of solvent

concentrated solution

a solution in which there is a large amount of solute in a small amount of solvent

crystal

a solid with a regular shape, the particles inside the crystal are arranged in a regular pattern

saturated solution

a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature

solubility

the mass in grams of a substance that dissolves in 100g of solvent at a fixed temperature

solubility curve

a graph showing how the solubility of a substance varies with temperature

crystallisation

the formation of crystals when a hot saturated solution is cooled

solute

a substance that can be dissolved into a solution by a solvent

soluable

can be dissolved

insoluable

cant be dissolved
