what is a solvent
a substance with higher concentration in the mixture
what is a solute
a substance with a lesser concentration in the mixture
what is dilution
the process to lessen the concentration in a mixture by adding more solvent
a solution in which water is the solvent is called
aqueous solution
equation for molarity
c=n/v
n= number of moles
v=volume
c=molarity
when balancing an equation you balance
the sum of elements on each side
iconic compounds
dissolve in water = dissociate
spectator ions
ions that are not change in a chemical formula
precipitation reaction
dissolved elements react to form one or more solid products
solubility
the extent to which a solute may dissolve in a solvent
precipitation reactions occur
when an element has exceeded its concentration Ability
soluble
substance that has relatively large solubility
insoluble
substance that relatively low solubility
acid-base reaction
when a hydrogen ion h+ is transferred from one chemical species to another
acid
a substance that will dissolve in water to form a h+
