Mixtures: two or more substances that are not chemically combined

Hetero = different

Homo = same

Heterogeneous = you can see the different parts of the mixture easily

Homogeneous: you cannot see the different parts of the mixture easily

Solution: a homogeneous mixture that combines a solute and solvent

Solute: the solid that gets dissolved Ex. Salt or Sugar

Solvent: The liquid that does the dissolving Ex. Water

Water is the universal solvent

Solubility: how easily a solute will dissolve in a certain solvent

High Solubility: Solute dissolves easily and quickly

Low Solubility: Solute does not dissolve easily or quickly

Saturation: saturation occurs when no more solute will dissolve in the solvent

Unsaturated = can still dissolve

Saturated = cannot dissolve any further
