Term | Definition |
---|---|
alloy | A solid solution made of two or more elements, including at least one metal. |
colligative property | A physical property of a solvent that depends on the concentration of the solute particles and not the kind of solute. |
colloid | A hetergeneous fluid mixture in which the particles of the dispersed phase are between 1 nanometer bad 1 micrometer but diameter |
concentration | The measured amount of solute in a given amount of solvent. |
dissociation | The action by the solvent in breaking apart an ionic compound's crystal lattice to form a solution. |
molarity | A measure of solution concentration; the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. |
saturated solution | A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at a given temperature. |
solubility | The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of a particular solvent at a specified temperature. |
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. |
supersaturated solution | A solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that it can normally hold at a given temperature. |
suspension | A heterogeneous mixture of a fluid and large particles (<1 um) that will settle out over time. |
unsaturated solution | A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that it could hold at a given temperature. |
