Question
Answer
Solute   the substance dissolved in a solution.  
🗑
Solvent   the dissolving medium in a solution.  
🗑
Solution   a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase.  
🗑
Aqueous   a solution in which the solvent is water.  
🗑
Freezing Point depression   the difference between the freezing point solvent and a solution of a non-electrolyte in that solvent;is directly proportional to the molar concentration of the solution.  
🗑
Boiling Point elevation   the difference between the boiling point of a pure solvent and a non-electrolyte of that solvent, directly proportional to the molar concentration of the solution.  
🗑
Saturated   a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute.  
🗑
Unsaturated   a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions.  
🗑
Supersaturated   a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same conditions.  
🗑
Distillation   is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in there velocities in a boiling liquid mixture.  
🗑
Filtering   a device (usually a membrane or layer) that is designed to physically block certain objects or substances while letting others through.  
🗑
Chromatography   is the collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures.  
🗑
Solubility   is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a liquid solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent.  
🗑
Mixture   is a material system made up by two or more different substances which are mixed together but are not combined chemically.  
🗑
Homogeneous   A substance that is uniform in composition.  
🗑
Heterogeneous   two or more substances which have been combined such that each substance retains its own chemical identity.  
🗑
Suspension   is a heterogeneous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation.  
🗑
Colloid   a substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another substance.  
🗑
Disassociation   a partial or complete disruption of the normal integration of a person’s conscious or psychological functioning.  
🗑
Electrolyte   is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive.  
🗑
Non-electrolyte   A substance that does exist in an ionic form in aqueous solution.  
🗑
Precipitate   is the formation of a solid in a solution or inside another solid during a chemical reaction or by diffusion in a solid.  
🗑
Ionic equation   is a chemical equation for a reaction which lists only those species participating in the reaction.  
🗑
Molecular equation   a balanced chemical equation in which ionic compounds are written as neutral.  
🗑
Spectator ion   is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation.  
🗑
Acid   is a substance which reacts with a base.  
🗑
Base   a substance that can accept hydrogen ions or more generally, donate electron pairs.  
🗑
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   the process of making weaker or less concentrated.  
🗑
Titration   the controlled addition and measurement of the amount of a solution of known concentration required to react completely with a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration.  
🗑
Concentration   a measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.  
🗑
