Solutions

A homogenous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved in a solvent; can be any combination of solids, liquids, and/or gases

In a solution, this is the substance being dissolved

In a solution, this is the substance doing the dissolving

A solution in which water is the solvent

A substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in a solution because it produces ions in solution

A substance that does not conduct electricity when dissolved in a solution because it does not produce ions in solution

Can be dissolved by a particular solvent

Cannot be dissolved by a particular solvent

The amount of solute that would form a saturated solution in 100g of water at 20*C

A graph showing the solubility of a substance at various temperatures

The process of dissolving in which solvent particles surround and pull apart solute particles, distributing them evenly throughout the solution; happens at the surface of a solute and results from random molecular motion

Can be mixed

A solution that contains the exact amount of solute that it is capable of dissolving at a given temperature

A solution that contains less solute than it is capable of dissolving at a given temperature

A solution that contains more solute than it is capable of dissolving at a given temperature

The opposite of dissolving; when a substance formerly dissolved in a solution re-forms into solid crystals

Refers to the amount of dissolved solute in a given solution

Describes a solution that has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute

Describes a solution that has a relatively small amount of dissolved solute

The process of adding more solvent to a solution in order to make it less concentrated

The # of moles of solute in 1.0 liter of solution

The # of grams of a solute in a given mass of solution; used when solute concentrations are very low

The # of grams of a solute in 1.0 liters of solution; used when describing a solid solute dissolved in a liquid solvent

The # of grams of a solute in a given mass of solution expressed as a percentage

How fast a substance dissolves

Nonpolar solvents can only dissolve nonpolar solutes; Polar solvents can only dissolve polar or ionic solutes

Exists when a molecule has a clustering of negative charge on one side due to unequal sharing of electrons

Formula used to determine how to create a solution of desired concentration from a stock solution of known Molarity and volume
