A well-mixed mixture containing a solvent and at least one solute that has the same properties throughout. | solution |
The part of the solution that is present in the largest amount and dissolves a solute. | solvent |
The part of a solution present in a lesser amount and 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 it. | dilute solution |
A mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in it. | concentrated solution |
A measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solvent at a given temperature. | solubility |
A mixture that contains as much dissolved solute as is possible at a given temperature. | saturated solution |
A mixture that contains less dissolved solute than is possible at a given temperature. | unsaturated solution |
A mixture that has more dissolved solute than is predicted by its solubility at a given temperature. | supersaturated solution |
