Solute | the substance dissolved in a solution |
Solvent | a liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances |
Solution | a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances |
Aqueous | similar to or containing or dissolving in water |
Freezing Point depression | the phenomenon that occurs when the freezing point of a liquid lowered by adding another compound to it |
Boiling Point elevation | phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid will be higher when another compound is added |
Saturated | the most concentrated solution possible at a given temperature |
Unsaturated | capable of dissolving more of a substance at a given temperature |
Supersaturated | a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same conditions |
Distillation | a method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities |
Filtering | a porous material through which a liquid or gas is passed in order to separate the fluid from a suspended particulate matter |
Chromatography | a process used for separating mixtures by virtue of differences in absorbency |
Solubility | the amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature |
Mixture | a blend of two or more kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties |
Homogeneous | having a uniform composition throughout |
Heterogeneous | not having a uniform composition throughout |
Suspension | a mixture in which the particles in the solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated |
Colloid | a mixture consisting of particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions forming mixtures known as colloid dispersions |
Dissociation | the separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves |
Electrolyte | a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric energy |
Nonelectrolyte | a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current |
Precipitate | a solid that is produced as a result of a chemical reaction in colution and that separates from the solution |
Ionic equation | an equation that represents all reactants an products that break down into ions in water as their ions |
Molecular equation | an equations that represents the reactants and products as they are intact, undissolved compounds |
Spectator ion | an ion that does not take part in a chemical reaction and is found in solution both before and after the reaction |
Acid | chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a hydrogen ion activity greater than in pure water |
Base | a chemical species that donates electrons or hydroxide ions or that accepts protons |
Neutralization | the reaction of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions to form water molecules |
Oxidation | a reaction in which the atoms or ions of an element experience an increase in oxidation state |
Reduction | a reaction in which the oxidation state of an element decreases |
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 |
Dilution | a diluted substance; the process of making |
Titration | a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration is added to a known volume of a second solution until the reaction between them is just complete |
Concentration | measure of how much of a given substance there is mixed with another substance |
