| Concentration | a measure of the amount of solute in given amount of solution |
| Dilute | relatively small amount of solute in a solvent |
| Concentrated | relatively large amount of solute in a solvent |
| Molarity | number of moles of solute in one liter of solution |
| Molality | moles of solute per kilogram of solvent |
| Soluble | capable of being dissolved |
| Solution | homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase |
| Solvent | dissolving medium |
| Solute | substance dissolved in a solution |
| Suspension | particles in the solvent are so large they settle out |
| Colloid | particles are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions |
| Tyndall effect | light scattered by a colloid |
| Electrolyte | a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water |
| Saturated | a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
| Unsaturated | a solution that holds less solute than a saturated solution |
| Supersaturated | contains more solute than a saturated solution |
| Solubility | amount of solute to make saturated solution at given temperature |
| Hydration | solution process in water |
| Immiscible | liquid solutes and solvents that will NOT dissolve in each other |
| Miscible | liquids that dissolve freely in one another |
| Effervescence | rapid escape of gas from a liquid in which it is dissolved |
| Heat of solution | heat given off or absorbed by dissolving solute |
