| A suspention | is a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by setting or filtration. |
| A solution | is a well-mixed mixture. |
| A solevent | is the part of a solution present in the large amount. |
| A solute | is the substance that is present in the solution in a smaller amount and dissolved by the solvent. |
| A colloid | is a mixture with small undissolved particles that do not settle out. |
| Solutions and colloids | differ in the size of their particles and how they affect the path of light. |
| Solutes | lower the freezing point of a solvent. |
| Solutes | raise the boiling point of a solvent. |
| A dilute solution | has only a little solute dissolved in the solvent. |
| A concentrated solution | has more solute dissolved in the solvent. |
| To measure concentration, | you compare the amount of solute to the amount of solvent or to the total amount of solution. |
| Solubility | is a measure of how well a solute can dossolve in a solevent at the given temperature. |
| A saturated solution | contains as much dissolved solute as possible at the given temperature. |
| An unsaturated solution | does not hold as much of a solute as is possible at the given temperature. |
| Among the factors that affect the solubility of a substance | are temperature, pressure, and type of solvent. |
| A supersaturated solution | has more dissolved solute than is predicted by its solubilityn at the given temperature. |
