| alloys |
A homogeneous mixture of metals. |
| amalgam |
A solution with a liquid solute and a solid solvent. |
| boiling point elevation |
The effect whereby a solute raise the boiling point of the solvent in which it is dissolved. |
| dipole |
A molecule that has both negatively and positively charged poles caused by the unequal distribution of electrons. |
| dissociation |
The process whereby a solvent breaks up an ionic solid. |
| freezing point depression |
The effect whereby a solute lowers the freezing point of the solvent in which it is dissolved. |
| Henry's law |
The greater the pressure on a liquid, the greater the amount of gas that will remain dissolved in that liquid at any given temperature. |
| insoluble |
Not able to be dissolved. |
| miscibility |
The property that allows two liquids to be soluble in each other. |
| percentage by mass |
A method of expressing the concentration of a solute as a percentage of the total mass of the solution. |
| polar molecule |
A molecule that has partially charged electrical poles. |
| precipitate |
A solid formed during a reaction; insoluble in water. |
| saturated |
Containing the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent under normal conditions. |
| solubility |
The maximum of a solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent under normal conditions. |
| soluble |
dissolvable |
| solute |
The substance that is dissolved in a solution. |
| solution |
A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. |
| solvent |
The substance that does the dissolving in a solution. |
| specific gravity |
The amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance 10 degrees Celsius. |
| supersaturated |
Having dissolved more than the normal amount of solute in a given amount of solvent. |
| suspension |
A heterogeneous mixture consisting of small particles spread throughout a liquid or gaseous medium, from which they will eventually settle out. |
