Equilibrium
The exact balance of two processes, one of which is opposite of the other.
Molarity
Ratio of moles to volume
Unsaturated
A solution in which more solute can be dissolved than is dissolved already at that
temperature.
Catalyst
A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed.
solute
a substance dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
saturated
A solution that contains as much solute as can be dissolved in that solution at that
temperature.
solvent
The dissolving medium in a solution.
supersaturated
A solution that contains more solute than a saturated solution will hold at that
temperature.
Le Chatelier’s Principle
If a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium will shift in a direction that tends to reduce the effect of that change.
solution
a homogenous mixture.
Concentrated
A solution in which a relatively large amount of solute is dissolved in a solution.
dilute
A solution in which a relatively small amount of solute is dissolved in a solution.
solubility
The amount of a substance that dissolves in a given volume of solvent or solution at a given temperature.
solubility
The amount of a substance that dissolves in a given volume of solvent or solution at a given temperature.
