8th- Solubility
Term | Definition |
---|---|
concentration | the amount of solute in a solvent expressed as a percent |
evaporite | the solute (solid) left behind after the solvent (liquid) has evaporated |
filtrate | the liquid that goes through a filter; this liquid may be a solution |
insoluble | describes a substance that cannot dissolve |
precipitate | an insoluble substance that falls out of solution when it can no longer remain dissolved or when it is one of the products of a chemical reaction |
saturated | describes a solution that has dissolved as much solute as possible |
slightly soluble | describes a substance that dissolves in small amounts |
solubility | the amount of a substance being dissolved to make a solution |
solution | a homogeneous or uniform mixture of two or more substance, at leas tone of which is a solvent; the most common solutions are liquids but gases and solids also form solutions |
solvent | the substances that dissolve another substance (the solute); because most substances dissolve in water, it is called the universal solvent |
supersaturated | a solution is holding more solute than it would under normal conditions; made by heating a saturated solution to enlarge the space between the particles of the solvent, adding more solute and then slowly cooling the solution |
suspension | a mixture that looks uniform when stirred or shaken but that separates into different layers when it is no longer agitated |
unsaturated | a solution that can hold more solute |
