Study Notes
Matter as Aqueous Solutions
- Key Vocabulary: Solution, solute, solvent, homogeneous, heterogeneous, saturated solution, unsaturated solution, supersaturated solution, solubility, electrolyte, nonelectrolyte
- Predicting Precipitates: Nitrate, ammonium, potassium, and sodium salts are generally water-soluble. Use this knowledge to predict the formation of precipitates.
