what determines the state of matter of the solution?
the state of matter of the solvent
unsaturated solution
< maximum amount of solute
saturated solution
=max amount of solute
supersaturated
> max amount of solute
what allows solute particles to be dissolved
separation of the solute particless
a solution will form is a solute and a solvent…
have similar polarities
precipitation
double replacement reactions of aqueous solutions where a solid is formed
solubility
amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent
electrolyte

molarity
the total number of moles of solute per liter of solution
strong electrolyte
high concentration of ions
weak electrolyte
low concentration of ions
