Solutions & Solubility

Question 1

unsaturated solution

Answer 1

the solution can still dissolve more solute

solute: substance that gets dissolved

Question 2

saturated solution

Answer 2

the solution has dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible

reached saturation point

Question 3

supersaturated solution

Answer 3

the solution has more solute than it can dissolve

recrystallizationoccurs : solute reforms

Question 4

parts per million, ppm

Answer 4

x ppm = mass of solute / mass of solution x 10^6

Question 5

parts per billion, ppb

Answer 5

x ppb = volume of solute / volume of solution x 10^9

Question 6

molar concentration/molarity

Answer 6

describes the number of moles of solute per 1L of solution

Question 7

dilution

Answer 7

process by which more solvent is added to change the molarity of a solution

Question 8

equivalence point

Answer 8

the quantitative point when perfect neutralization occurs
