Solutions: any homogeneous mixture can be called solution. The term is usually used for mixtures that are
liquid.
Solvent the liquid substance that makes up the bulk of the solution.
Solute substance which are dissolved in the solvent.
Soluble - substance that dissolves readily in a solvent.
Insoluble a substance that does not dissolve in a solvent.
Immiscible substances that do not mix with each other
Miscible which can be mixed with each other.
Saturated solution the solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a given amount
of solvent.
Unsaturated solution - is one that contains less dissolved solute than a saturated solution under a given
temperature and pressure.
Supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than a saturated given the same temperature.
Factors Affecting Solubility
1. Nature of solute and solvent
2. Pressure
3. Temperature
Effervescence the rapid escape of gas.
Concentrated solution contains large amount of solute.
Diluted solution contains a small amount of solute.
Percent by mass is a ratio of a measured amount of solute to a measured amount of solution.
Percent by mass = mass of solute / mass of solution x 100
Percent by volume = volume of solute / volume of solution x 100
Suspension a mixture that separates on standing
Colloidal dispersions the particles are larger than molecules or ions, but still too small to settle out.
Properties of Colloids
1. Tyndall Effect
2. Brownian Movement
3. Adsorption
Dialysis is the process of separating the particles of colloids from those of the crystalloids by means of
diffusion through a suitable membrane.

Colloids play important roles in our daily life
Water purification
Pure Substance is a form of matter that cannot be separated into two different species by any physical
means.
Example of Pure substance 1. Elements 2. Compound
Element is the simplified form of matter that cannot be decomposed by ordinary chemical means.
Non-metals are substance with dull appearance and are brittle. Ex. Carbon, sulphur
Metal are substances with lustrous or shiny appearance and are malleable. Example: Gold, Silver,
Mercury
Metalloids are elements that have the properties of metals and non-metals.
