Solutions — types?
Homogeneous mixtures of substances, classified as saturated or unsaturated.
Solution — definition?
Homogeneous mixture of substances, uniformly distributed.
Concentration terms — example?
Molarity measures moles of solute per liter of solution.
Solvent — role?
The component present in the largest amount.
Solute — role?
Substance dissolved in the solvent.
Saturated solution — definition?
Contains maximum dissolvable solute at specific temperature.
Unsaturated solution — definition?
Contains less than maximum solute; can dissolve more.
Colligative properties — are affected by?
Number of solute particles, not their identity.
Raoult's law — describes?
Vapor pressure lowering proportional to solute's mole fraction.
