All Solutions Concepts
Concentration
The quantity of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution, most commonly expressed as molarity ($M$) in units of moles per liter (mol/L).
Solution
A homogeneous mixture formed when one or more solutes are completely dissolved in a solvent at the molecular level, resulting in a uniform composition throughout.
Solubility
The maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure, typically expressed as grams.
Dilution
The process of decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent while keeping the total amount of solute constant.
Titration
A lab technique for finding an unknown solution concentration by gradually adding a solution of known concentration until the reaction is complete.
Solute
The substance that is dissolved in a solution, typically present in a smaller amount than the solvent.
Solvent
The substance in a solution that does the dissolving, typically present in the larger amount.
Electrolyte
A substance that dissociates into free ions when dissolved in a solvent (typically water), producing a solution that can conduct electric current.
