| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Solution | A homogenous mixture of substances in the same physical state |
| Solute | The substances dissolved in a solution |
| Solvent | The substance in which the solute is dissolved |
| Aqueous solution | A solution in which water is the solvent |
| Trincture | a solution in which alcohol is the solvent |
| Suspensions | large particles, solute will settle out |
| Colloids | intermediate sized particles |
| Solutions | small particles, solutions will not settle out |
| Tyndall Effect | scatters light |
| Miscible | when two substances may be mixed in all proportions |
| Immisicble | when two substances cannot be mixed appreciabilty |
| Saturated solution | a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
| Percipitate | a deposit formed when excess solid solute is added to a saturated solution |
| Unsaturated solution | solution that has not reached its saturation point |
| Solubility | the amount of solute needed to produce a saturated solution with a given amount of solvent |
| Supersaturated solution | a solution prepared at high temperatures, solution has more solute than it can hold, unstable |
| Concentration | the quantity of solute relative to the quantity of solvent |
| Dilute | solution containing a relatively small quantity of solute |
| Concentrated | solution containing a relatively large quantity of solute |
| Colligative Properties | effect of solute on solvent |
| Vapor Pressure | pressure exerted by particles of vapor above a liquid |
| Electrolytes | produce ions when they dissolve in soultion |
| Dissociation | break up into ions |
