Solute | the substance dissolved in a solution |
Solvent | the dissolving medium in a solution |
Solution | a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single phase |
Aqueous | any solution in which water is the solvent |
Freezing point depression | difference between the freezing points of a pure solvent ans a solution of a non-electrolyte in that solvent |
Boiling Point elevation | the difference between the boiling point of a pure solvent and a non-electrolyte of that solvent |
Saturated | solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute |
Unsaturated | solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions |
Supersaturated | a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same conditions |
Distillation | technique of heating a liquid to create a vapor which is collected when cooled separate from the original liquid |
Filtering | method of chemical filtering that lowers the carbonate hardness and pH of aquarium water |
Chromatography | method of separating and analyzing mixtures of chemicals |
Solubility | the amount a substance required to form a saturated solution with a specific amount of a solvent at a specified temperature |
Mixture | a blend of two of more kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties |
Homogeneous | having a uniform composition throughout |
Heterogeneous | not having a uniform composition throughout |
Suspension | mixture in which the particles in the solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated |
Colloid | a mixture consisting of particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions forming mixtures known as colloid dispersions |
Disassociation | the separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves |
Electrolyte | substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current |
Non-electrolyte | substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current |

Ionic equation | equation that includes only those compounds and ions that undergo a chemical change in a reaction in an aqueous solution |
Molecular equation | equation for a chemical reaction in which all formulas are written as if all substances existed as molecules |
Spectator ion | ion that does not take part in a chemical reaction and is found in solution both before and after the reaction |
Acid | chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons |
Base | chemical species that donates electons or hydroxide ions or that accepts protons |
Neutralization | the reaction of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions to form water molecules |
Oxidation | reaction in which the atoms or ions of an element experience an increase in oxidation state |
