| Temperature influences the ___ at which the substance dissolves. | rate |
| What does a saturated solution contain? | the maximum amount of solute for a given quantity of solvent. |
| What is the solubitity of a substance? | the amount of solute that dissolves in a given quantity of solvent at a specified temperature and pressue to produce a saturated solution. |
| How do two liquids become miscible? | if they dissolve completely in each other in all proportions. |
| liquids that are insoluble in one another are called what? | immiscrible |
| What does a super saturated solution contain? | more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature. |
| What does Henry's law state? | at a given temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid. |
| What is molarity? | yhe number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution. |
| The concentration of a solution is the measure of what? | the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent. |
| A solution that contains a realatively small amount of solute is known as what? | dilute solution. |

| How do you calculate the molarity of a solution? | divide the number of moles by the volume of the solution in liters. |
| What is a colligative property? | a property of solutions that depends only upon the number of solute particles, not upon their identity. |
| What are the three important properties of solutions? | vapor-pressure lowering, freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation. |
| What is the freezing-point depression? | the difference in temperature between the freezing point of a solution and the freezing point of the pure solvent. |
