A solution that has a relatively small amount of solute per unit For nonelectrolytes: i=1
amount of solvent is called dilute. For strong electrolytes: i = number of (cations + anions)
The maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given For weak electrolytes: 1 < i < number of (cati + anions)
amount of solvent at a given temperature is called
the solubility of that solute in that solvent at that temperature. Boiling Point Elevation/Freezing Point Depression
A solution whose concentration is at the solubility limit for a @T = m K
given temperature is said to be saturated. Fp=@T = T(pure solvent) - T(solution)
A solution whose concentration is lower than the solubility Bp=@T = T(solution) - T(pure solvent)
limit for a given temperature is said to be unsaturated.
A solution whose concentration is greater than the solubility F2(g) F (g) Ag (s) Ag (g)
limit for a given temperature is said to be supersaturated. F (g) + e- F -(g) Ag (g) Ag +(g) + e-
Such a solution can only be prepared under carefully Ag +(g) + F -(g) AgF (s)
controlled conditions and is not stable. Ag (s) + F2(g) AgF (s)

When a solution becomes saturated, a dynamic equilibrium is metallics have delocalized electrons inherent to its structure

The vapor pressure of a pure solvent is REDUCED when a
nonvolatile solute is added.
