Study Notes
Properties of Solutions
- A solute is the component in a solution present in lesser amounts compared to the solvent.
- Solutions consist of a solute (substance dissolved) and a solvent (substance doing the dissolving).
Solubility Concepts
- Maximum solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature is known as solubility.
- This property varies with temperature and can also be influenced by pressure in gases.
Types of Solutions
- A solution where the concentration of solute is lower than its equilibrium solubility is referred to as a dilute solution.
- Solutions can be categorized based on their solute concentrations relative to saturation, such as saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions.
