solute
substance that dissolves
solvent
substance in which the solute dissolves
concentration
the quantity of solute dissolved in a given quantity of solution (or solvent)
equation for dilution problems
Molarity of diluted solution x volume of dilute solution = molarity of concentrated solution x volume of concentrated solution
what are non electrolytes?
compounds with covalent bonds that contain polar bonds whose molecules remain intact when dissolved in water. the solution does not conduct electricity.
