Chem Chap 2

• Solution: Compound  of a solute and a solvent

  Solute: What is dissolved

  Solvent: Where it is dissolved (e.g. water, ethanol, acetone)
• Solution VS Mixture: It's easy to confuse solution and mixture. There are some aspects that makes them different, which are:

  • Solution are transparent (They can have color though)
  • Mixture are opaque
• Concentration: Amount of solute (in g) per volume of solvent (cm3, dm3...) .
• Solubility: The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in 100g of solvent
• Saturation: When solution is full of solute and no more solute can dissolve
