| A | B |
| concentration | The amount of solute dissolved in a set amount of solvent. |
| dispersion | The process of the solute breaking into pieces that separate in the water. |
| dissociation | The process in which an ionic compound separates into ions as it dissolves in water. |
| insoluble | Not able to dissolve. |
| ionization | The process in which neutral molecules gain or lose electrons as the solute is dissolved by the water. |
| molarity | The number of moles dissolved solute in 1 L of solvent. |
| saturated solution | Cannot dissolve any more solute. May or may not contain a precipitate. |
| solubility | The maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at a constant temperature. |
| soluble | Able to dissolve. |
| solute | What is being dissolved. |
| solvent | What is doing dissolved. |
| supersaturated solution | The solution holds more solute than is normal. Very unstable. If cooled too quickly a precipitate will form. |
| unsaturated solution | More solute can still be dissolved into the solvent. Has no precipitate. |
| precipitate | Undissolved solute that settles to the bottom of the solution. |
