Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Substance | A catch-all word that is used to represent an unspecified chemical. |
| Solute | The substance that is being dissolved by the solvent. |

| Electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in solution which gives a solution an ability to conduct electricity. |
| Non-electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in the solution and does NOT give it an ability to conduct electricity. |
| Dilute | A solution with little solute dissolved in it. |
| Concentrated | A solution with a lot of solute dissolved in it. |
| Saturated | A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute. |
| Unsaturated | A solution that contains less dissolved solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions. |
| Supersaturated | A solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions. |
| Molarity | A measurement of concentration M = mol / L (number of moles of dissolved solute divided by one liter of solution). |
| Solubility | The amount of a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature. |
| Solubility Curves | A graph showing the relationship between solubility and temperature. |
| Solubility Rules | A set of rules that predict whether the various substances in solutions will be dissolved in each other and if a precipitate will form. |
| Solution | A homogeneous mixture from a solute dissolved in a solvent. |
