dissolve
to mix one type of matter to another type of matter to forma solution
solute
the smaller part of a solution; the part of a solution that dissolves in a solvent
solvent
the larger part of a solution; the part of a solution into which the solute dissolves
dissolving
mixing completely with a solvent to form a solution
pollution
contaminants in the environment that could harm living things
soluble
able to dissolve in a specified solvent
insoluble
unable to dissolve in a specific solvent
concentrated solution
a solution with a large number of solute particles in a given volume of solution
dilute solution
a solution with a small number of solute particles in a given volume of solution
concentration
the amount of solute present in an amount of solution
saturated solution
a solution in which no more solute can dissolve
unsaturated solution
a solution in which more solute can be dissolved
solubility
a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a certain solvent to form a saturated solution at a particular temperature and volume
maximum dissolved solute over / 100
