| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Physical Properties | a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its chemical composition, ex -color, density, melting point, hardness |
| Chemical Properties | describes how a substance reacts with other substances, only observed during a reaction, ex - flammability, reactivity, tendency to corrode |
| Solubility | the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent to form a solution |
| Solution | a homogenous mixture that contains both a solute and solvent |
| Solute | a substance that is the smallest amount in a solution |
| Solvent | a substance that is the greatest amount in a solution |
| Solubility curve | a graph that visually represents the relationship between the temperature and the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a given solvent |
| Rate of dissolution | the speed at which a solute dissolves into a solvent to form a solution |
| Agitation | the process of actively mixing substances within a container to ensure even distribution of components within a solution or reaction mixture; stirring, shaking |
| Concentration | amount of solute dissolved in a solvent |
| Diluted | describe a solution with a relatively low amount of dissolved solute |
| Concentrated | describe a solution with a relatively high amount of dissolved solute |
| Reactivity | the tendency of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction |
| Reaction rate | the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds |
