Concentration
-
The amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent.
Dissolve
-
To become a part of a solution.
Enthalpy of Solution
-
The amount of heat absorbed upon the formation of a solution by a solute
and a solvent.
Entropy of Solution
-
The amount of disorder created by the formation of a solution by a solute
and a solvent.
Henry's Law
-
The solubility of a gas in a solvent is proportional to the pressure of
the gas above the solvent.
Le Chatelier's Principle
-
A system at equilibrium will react to a change by opposing that change.
Non-polar
-
A molecule with a low net dipole.
Polar
-
A molecule with a large net dipole.
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
