| 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 |
