Term
|
Definition
a homogeneous mixture of substances where one of the species (the "solvent") is present to a greater extent than the other(s) (the "solute(s)") |
|
|
Term
aqueous solution (or "aqueous phase") |
|
Definition
a solution where water is the solvent = solutes in aqueous solutions are labeled (aq) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
