Solute, Definition: The substance that gets dissolved in a solution (e.g., sugar, salt, cocoa powder)., Solvent, Definition: The substance that does the dissolving in a solution (e.g., water)., Solution, Definition: A homogeneous mixture where a solute is completely and evenly dissolved in a solvent., Rate of Dissolution, Definition: The speed at which a solute dissolves in a solvent (how fast it disappears)., Dilution, Definition: A solution that has a low amount of solute relative to the solvent (watery, weak taste)., Concentration, Definition: A solution that has a high amount of solute dissolved in the solvent (strong, highly sweet/salty)., Surface Area, Definition: The total area of the exterior surface of a solute that is exposed directly to the solvent., Agitation, Definition: The physical movement of stirring, shaking, or swirling a mixture., Kinetic Energy, Definition: The energy of physical motion. Fast-moving particles have higher kinetic energy (e.g., hot water)., Saturated, Definition: A solution that has dissolved the maximum possible amount of solute at that temperature; it cannot hold more., Unsaturated, Definition: A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute; it is still capable of dissolving more.
