• solute?


  substance being dissolved
• solvent?


  dissolving medium (usually water)
• soluble?


  substance will dissolve in solvent
• insoluble?


  substance will not dissolve in solvent
• Immiscible?


  two liquids will not mix
• miscible?


  two liquids which will mix
• solubility?


  maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature (temp and pressure)
• concentration?


  amount of solute dissolved in a specific amount of solvent
• concentrated?


  a lot of solute
• dilute?


  very little solute (more solvent)
• solvation?


  increases how quickly something dissolves (stirring, increasing surface area, heating)
• molality (m)?


  total moles of a solute contained in a kilogram of a solvent
• electrolytes?


  ionic compounds break apart into ions, dissociate, when in soln (free ions conduct electricity)
• non-electrolytes?


  molecular (covalent) compounds do not dissociate (break apart) when put into soln, so they don't become electrolyte
