| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Soluble | A compound's ability or capability to dissolve in solution |
| Solution | A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase |
| Solvent | The dissolving medium in a solution |
| Solute | The substance dissolved in a solution |
| Suspension | A mixture in which particles are so large that they cannot settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated |
| Colloids | Particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions |
| Electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current |
| Nonelectrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current |
| Solution equilibrium | The physical state in which the opposing process of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates |
| Saturated solution | A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
| Unsaturated solution | A solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions |
| Supersaturated solution | A solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same conditions |
| Solubility | The amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature |
| Hydration | The strong affinity of water molecules for particles of dissolved or suspended substances that causes electrolytic dissociation |
| Immiscible | When liquids that are not soluble in each other |
| Miscible | When liquids that dissolve freely in one another in any proportion |
| Henry's law | The law that states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the particle pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid |
| Effervescence | The rapid Escape of a gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved |
| Solvated | When a solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules |
| Enthalpy of solution | The net amount of energy absorbed as heat by the solution when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent |
| Concentration | A measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution |
| Molarity | The number of moles of solute in one liter of solution |
| Molality | The concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent |
