| solute | a substance whose particles are dissolved in a solution |
| solvent | a substance in which a solute dissolves |
| dissociation | the seperation of ions in an ionic compound as the compound dissolves |
| dispersion | the process of dissolving by breaking into smaller pieces, the process win which white light seperates into colors |
| ionization | the process by which neutral molecules gain or lose electrons |
| solubility | the maximum amount of solute that normally dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a certain temperature |
| saturated solution | a solution that contains as much solute as the solvent can normally hold at a given temperature |
| unsaturated solution | a solution in which more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature |
| supersaturated solution | a solution that contains more solute than the solvent can normally hold at a given temperature |
| concentration | the amount of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent |
| molarity | the number of moles of a dissolved solute per liter of solution |
| acid | a compound that produces hydrnium ions (H30+) when dissolved in water; a proton donor |
| indicator | a substance that change color in the presence of an acid or a base |
| base | a compound that produces hydroxide ions (0H-) when dissolved in water, a proton acceptor |
| neutralization | a chemical reaction between an acid and base |
| salt | an ionic compund formed when acid reacts with a base |
| pH | a measure of the hydronium ion concentration of a solution |
| buffer | a solution that is a resistant to large changes in pH |
| electrolyte | a compound that produces ions when it dissolves |
