• concentrated: A large amount of solute dissolved in a small amount of solvent
• soluble: solids that dissolve in a liquid
• insoluble: solids that don’t dissolve in a liquid
• separating mixtures: filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography
• solubility increases with increasing temperature
• solubility: the mass of solute that will dissolve 100g of the solvent at a fixed temperature
