Document Summary

Aqueous solution: a solution in which water is the dissolving medium. Electrolyte: a substance whose aqueous solution contains ions. Nonelectrolyte: a substance whose aqueous solution does not contain ions. Denotes partial charge, positive or negative for the molecule. Solvation: dissociated ions are surrounded by water molecules that stabilize the solution and keep the ions from recombining. Strong electrolytes: solutes that dissolve entirely in the solvent as ions. Most water soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes. Weak electrolytes: solutes that partially dissociate in the solvent. Precipitation reactions: a reaction between two solutes that produces a water-insoluble solid. Solubility: the amount of the substance that can be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature.
