a well-mixed mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute | solution |
the part of a solution present in the largest amount | solvent |
the substance that is present in a solution in a smaller amount and is dissolved by the solvent | solute |
a mixture containing small, undissolved particles that do not settle out | colloid |
a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration | suspension |
a mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent (sap) | dilute solution |
a mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in the solvent (syrup) | concentrated solution |
a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature | solubility |
when you've added so much solute that no more dissolves, you have a ____________________. | saturated solution |
if you can continue to dissolve more solute, you have a _____________________. | unsaturated solution |
has more dissolved solute than is predicted by its solubility at the given temperature | supersaturated solution |
