Colligative Property
A property that depends only on the amount of solute in a solution and not the identity of the solute.
-
Concentrated
A solution of high concentration.
-
Concentration
The amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent.
-
Dilute
A solution of low concentration or the process of lowering the concentration of a solution by the addition of solvent.
-
Dilution
The decrease of the concentration of a solution by the addition of more solvent.
-
Dissolve
To become a part of a solution.
-
Nonvolatile
A substance that does not have an appreciable vapor pressure.
-
Raoult's Law
The vapor pressure of a solution is the product of the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.
-
Solubility
The amount of a particular solute that can dissolve in a given amount of a particular solvent. Solubilities are generally listed in g / L.
-
Solute
A minor component of a solution.
-
Solution
