Solute-substance that dissolves in the solution

Solvent-the substance in which the solute dissolves

Ex: sugar/solute and water/solvent

Water is a universal solvent/used in many solutions

Solids dissolve faster by stirring or heating the solution; grinding solid solute can also make it dissolve faster

Some solutions can be two liquids; also a gas can dissolve in a liquid

Solubility is a property of a substance; how much a substance can be dissolved by a solvent at a certain temperature

3 types of solutions

saturated-contains all the solute that can be dissolved without changing the temperature
Concentrated-solution has so much solute that it is relatively close to being saturated
