Boiling Point
|
The temperature at which a liquid substance goes through a phase change into the gas state.
|
Density |
The amount of mass in a certain volume. Example: g/mL or g/cm3. The density of a material varies with temperature and pressure. |
Insoluble
|
The property at which one substance (solute) will not dissolve into another (solvent). Example: oil and water. |
Melting Point
|
The temperature at which a substance goes through the phase change from solid to liquid.
|
Solid
|
A state of matter in which molecules have a defined shape. Atoms are arranged in a pattern. |
Solubility
|
The ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in another substance (solvent) to make a uniform solution. Example: sugar (solute) dissolving in water (solvent) to make sugar water.
|
Solute
|
The substance you are trying to dissolve into another. Example: sugar (solute) dissolving in water (solvent) to make sugar water. |
Sublimation |
The process of a substance going from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase |
Freezing point |
The point at which a substance goes through a phase change from liquid to solid.
|
Evaporation
|
A type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface, the liquid goes through a phase change to a gas. |
Solvent
|
The substance (generally a liquid) you are trying to dissolve something into. Example: sugar (solute) dissolving in water (solvent) to make sugar water.
