Capable of being dissolved
|
Soluble
|
A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase
|
Solution
|
The dissolving medium in a solution
|
Solvent
|
The substance being dissolved in a solution
|
Solute
|
The particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated
|
Suspension
|
Particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions
|
Colloids
|
Occurs when light is scattered by colloidal particles dispersed in a transparent medium
|
Tyndall effect
|
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current
|
Electrolyte
|
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current
|
Nonelectrolyte
|
The physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution and crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates
|
Solution equilibirum
|
A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute
|
Saturated solution
|
A solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions
|
Unsaturated solution
|
A solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the ame conditions
|
Supersaturated solution
|
The amount of that substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specific temperature
|
Solubility
|
This solution process with water as the solvent
|
Hydration
