| A | B |
| solute | substance dissolved in a solvent |
| solvent | dissolving medium of a solution |
| electrolyte | a solute that dissociates into ions in solution |
| nonelectrolyte | a solute that does not conduct electricity in water |
| dissociation | when ions in a compound separate in water |
| solvation | clustering of solvent molecules around a solute particle |
| dissociation equilibrium | a balance between an ionic compound in solution and it's dissociated ions in solution |
| precipitate | insoluble substance that forms in, and separates from, a solution |
| spectator ion | ions that go through a reaction unchanged |
| acid | increases the H^+ concentration in water |
| base | increases the OH^- concentration in water |
| strong acid | an acid that completely dissociates in water |
| weak acid | an acid that only partially dissociates in water |
| oxidation | loss of electrons |
| reduction | gain of electrons |
| concentration | quantity of solute present in a given quantity of solvent or solution |
| molarity | moles of solute per liter of solution |
| dilution | process of preparing a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated solution by adding solvent |
| titration | process of reacting a solution of unknown concentration with one of known concentration |
| standard solution | solution of known concentration |
| indicator | substance added to a solution that changes color when the added solute has reacted with all the solute present in solution |
