| soluble | a substance that dissolves in a solvent. |
| insoluble | a substance that does not dissolve in a solvent |
| miscible | two liquids that are soluble in each other. |
| immiscible | liquids that are not soluble in each other |
| solvation | process in which solvent particles surround solute particles to form a solution. |
| hydration | solvation in water |
| heat of solution | the overall energy change that occurs during solution formation. |
| saturated solution | a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temp. and pressure. |
| unsaturated solution | a solution that contains less dissolved solute for a given temperature and pressure than does a saturated solution. |
| supersaturated solution | a solution that contains more dissolved solute than does a saturated solution at the same temp. |
| Henry's Law | at a given temp., the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid. |
| Concentration | a measure of the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution. |
| Molarity | a common way to express solution concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution. |
| Mole fraction | ratio of the number of moles of solute or solvent to the total number of moles of solute plus solvent in a solution. |
| Colligative properties | physical properties of a solution that are affected by the number of solute particles but not by the identity of those particles. |
