Define the following:

Solution: A homogenous mixture of two or more substances

Solvent: The liquid in which substances are dissolved.

Solute: the substances being dissolved.

Aqueous Solution: A solution where water is used as the solvent.

Soluble: When a solid solute dissolves in a liquid solvent.

Insoluble: When a solid solute does not substantially dissolve in a liquid solvent.

Miscible: when two liquids dissolve in each other.

Immiscible: Two liquids will not dissolve in each other when mixed together.

Solubility: The physical property of a substance that describes how the soluble or insoluble it is.

Saturated: In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance text can dissolve no more of that substance and additional amounts of it will appear as a separate phase

Recrystallization: a solvent is needed in which the substance has a low solubility at 0 degrees Celsius but a greater solubility at the boiling point of the solvent. The impure solid is then dissolved the minimum amount of hot solvent. Any insoluble impurities are removed by filtration.

Polar: bond between atoms with different

electronegativities.

Salvation: Solubility of solute in solvent with out undergoing chemical change.

The solute and solvent can be in any 3 states of matter, that is why there are 9 possible solute-solvent combinations.

Solids dissolved in liquids

The majority of solutions encountered tend to have a solid as the solute and a liquid as the solvent.
