a homogeneous mixture
solution
substance that is dissolved
solute
substance that does the dissolving
solvent
occurs when an ionic compound divides into individual ions
dissociation
three ways to increase the rate that a substance dissolves
- stir
- crush / grind
- heat
ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance to form a solution
solubility
A substance that dissolves easily into a solvent
soluble
substance that does not readily dissolve in a given solvent
insoluble
process where a solute will “undissolve” and form a solid substance
precipitate
a measure of how much solute is dissolved in a given amount of solvent or in a given amount of solution
concentration
the unit representing approximately 6.022 x 10 to the 23 particles
mole (mol)
the number 6.022 x 10 to the 23
Avogadro’s number
a measure of solution concentration as moles of solute per some volume of solution
molarity (amount concentration)
concentration measured as the moles of solute in a given mass of solvent
molality
the process of mixing molecules of one substance with another substance by random molecular motion
diffusion
