| Term | Definition |
|---|---|

| Solvent | The part of a solution that is present in the largest amount and dissolves by the solvent. |
| Solute | The part of a solution present in a lesser amount and dissolved by the solvent. |
| Colloid | A mixture containing small, undissolved particles that do not settle out. |
| Suspension | A mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration. |
| Dilute Solution | A mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in it. |
| Concentrated Solution | A mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in it. |
| Salubility | A measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solute at a given temperature. |
| Saturated Solution | A mixture that contains as much dissolved solute as is possible at a given temperature. |
| Unsaturated Solution | A mixture that contains less dissolve solute than is possible at a given temperature. |
| Supersaturated Solution | A mixture that has more dissolved solute than is predicted by its solubility at a given temperature. |
| Acid | A substance that tastes sour, reacts with metals and carbonates, and turns blue litmus red. |
| Corrosive | The way in which acids react with some metals so as to eat away the metal. |
| Indicator | A compound that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base. |
