Colloid | A mixture consisting of particles that are intermediate in size |
Concentration | A measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution |
Effervescence | The rapid escape of a gas from the liquid in which it is dissolved |
Electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current |
Heat of solution | The net amount of energy absorbed or released as heat when a specific amount of solute dissolves in a solvent |
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 |
Hydration | A solution process with water as the solvent |
Immiscible | Liquid solutes and solvents that are not soluble in each other |
Miscible | Liquid solutes and solvents that are able to dissolve freely in one another |
Molality | The concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent |
Molarity | The number of moles of solute in one liter of solution |
Nonelectrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current |
Saturated | A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
Solubility | The amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature |
Soluble | Capable of being dissolved |
Solute | The substance dissolved in a solution |
Solution | A homogenous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase |
Solution equilibrium | The physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates |
Solvated | A solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules |
Solvent | The dissolving medium in a solution |
Supersaturated | A solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same conditions |
Unsaturated | A solution that contains the minimum amount of dissolved solute |
Dilute | dissovled material |
Aqueous | Substance mixed with water |
Evaporation | Process of particles escaping from the surface of a liquid |

Sublimation | THe change of a solid to a gas |
Freezing point | Solid and liquid are at 1 atm |
Boiling point | The point at which pressure of a liquid is the same as the atmosphere |
Suspension | A mixture in which the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated |
