Solution
Where one substance must dissolve in another
Solubility
Ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent

6. Solute Solvent Speed up Dissolving Electrolytes
Part being dissolved in the solvent
Solvent
Part that does the dissolving
Speed up Dissolving
Stirring
Heating
Powdering
Electrolytes
Solution heat conducts electricity
Ex: salt and water

7. Nonelectrolytes Unsaturated Saturated Supersaturated
Solution that doesn’t conduct electricity
Ex: Sugar and water
Unsaturated
Holding little solute in much solvent
Saturated
Holding as much solute at a given temperature
Supersaturated
More solute in the solvent at a high temperature

8. Acid, Base and Solutions Unit
Dissociation
The separation of ions in an ionic compound as the compound dissolved
Ionization
The process by which neutral molecules gain or lose electrons
Dispersion
Breaks into smaller pieces that spread throughout the water
