| soluble | capable of being dissolved |
| solution | homogenous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase |
| solvent | dissolving medium in a solution |
| solute | substance being dissolved in a solution |
| suspension | the particles in a solvent are so large they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated |
| colloid | particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspension form mixtures known as... |
| electrolyte | a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric currents |
| nonelectrolyte | a substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that doesn't conduct an electric current |
| solution equilibrium | physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates |
| saturated solution | a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
| unsaturated solution | a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions |
| supersaturated solution | a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions |
| immiscible | liquid solutes and solvents that are not soluble in each other |
| miscible | liquids that dissolve freely in one another in any proportion |
| Henry's Law | the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid |
| effervescence | the rapid escape of a gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved |
| solvated | a solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules |
| heat of solution | the amound of heat energy absorbed or released when a specific amound of solute dissolves in a solvent |
| concentration | a measure of the amount of solute in a given amound of solvent or solution |
| molarity | the number of moles of a solute in one liter of solution |
| molality | the concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent |
| hydration | a solution process with water as the solvent |
| solubility | the amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature |
