| A | B |
|---|
| solution | homogeneous mixture |
| solvent | component of solution present in largest amount |
| solute | component of solution present in lesser amount |
| saturated solution | maximum possible amount of solute is dissolved in the solution |
| unsaturated solution | less than maximum possible amount of solute is dissolved in solution |
| supersaturated solution | a solution containing more solute than a saturated solution |
| concentrated solution | a relatively large amount of solute is dissolved |
| dilute solution | relatively small amount of solute is dissolved |
| molarity | number of moles of solute per liter of solution |
| colligative property | depends on concentration of solute particles |
