Front

Solubility

Back

A measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solvent at a given temperature.

Front

Solution

Back

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

Front

Solute

Back

A substance that is dissolved in a solution.

Front

Solvent

Back

A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances.

Front

Dissolve

Back

To form a solution by mixing evenly.

Front

Concentration

Back

A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent.

Front

Saturated

Back

Being the most concentrated solution possible at a given temperature.

Front

Supersaturated

Back

A solution that holds more dissolved solute than is required to reach equilibrium at a given temperature.

Front

Unsaturated

Back

A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of dissolved solute in a concentration.

Front

Equilibrium

Back

A state of balance in a solution- the ratio of solute going into and out of the solvent is constant.
