What is a solvent
The liquid in which the solute dissolves
What is a solute
A soluble substance which dissolves
What is a solution
A mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent
What does insoluble mean
A substance that will not dissolve in a particular solvent
What is solubility
The mass of a solid that will saturate 100g of water (or solvent) at a particular temperature. Units = g/100g water
What is a saturated solution
One in which no more solid will dissolve at a particular temperature
What is the equation for solubility
Solubility = mass of solute / mass of solvent x 100
