Colloid
|
A mixture consisting of particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions forming miztures known as colloid dispersions.
|
Electrolyte
|
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current.
|
Nonelectrolyte
|
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current.
|
Soluble
|
Capable of being dissolved.
|
Solute
|
The substance dissolved in a solution.
|
Solution
|
A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase.
|
Solvent
|
The dissolving medium in a solution.
|
Suspension
|
A mixture in which the particles in the solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated.
|
Effervescence
|
The rapid escape of a gas from the liquid in which it is dissolved.
|
Heat of Solution
|
The net amount of energy absorbed as heat during a chemical reaction.
|
Henry's Law
|
The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas on the surface of the liquid.
|
Hydration
|
A solution process with water as the solvent.
|
Immiscible
|
Liquid solutes and solvents that are not soluble in each other.
|
Miscible
|
Liquid solvents and solutes that are able to dissolve freely in one another in any proportion.
|
Saturated Solution
|
A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute.
