the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent

a substance that does not react with most metals or readily conduct electricity; it turns litmus blue and has a pH of greater than 7; it typically feels slippery and is bitter-tasting

a substance that has a pH of 7; water is an example

a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is; the low it is the more acidic, the higher the more basic

indicator that turns red in the presence of an acid and blue in the presence of a base

a substance such as litmus or phenophthalen that indicates if a substance is an acid or a base by means of a color change

describes how much solute has been dissolved in a solution and is expressed in some kind of ratio

the measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity

a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent

a solution in which more solute can be added and dissolved. It is below the maximum amount of solute.

a solution that contains more of the dissolved solute than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances; increasing temperature or pressure can increase the maximum possible solute dissolved in a solvent

a graph that compares the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at various temperatures

a factor that affects solubility by increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules; the more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute molecules more often allowing dissolving to happen faster and more solute to be dissolved

when a substance is becoming part of a liquid to form a solution

a factor that affects solubility by moving the molecules of the solute and solvent around to cause more collisions to increase the rate of solubility; stirring is an example

a factor that affects solubility by decreasing the size of the solute particles to increase solubility rate; grinding a solute is an example of this factor
