in a solution of a gas or solid dissolved in a liquid, the liquid; in other cases the substance present in the greater amount
solute
in a solution of a gas or solid dissolved in a liquid, the gas or solid, in other cases the substance present in the lesser amount
dilute solution
a solution containing a small amount of solute
saturated solution
a solution containing the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at that temperature and pressure. The solution is in equilibrium with the matter that is not dissolved
unsaturated solution
a solution containing less than the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at that temperature and pressure
supersaturated solution
a solution that contains more dissolved substance than a saturated solution does
Solubility
the amount of a substance that dissolves in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature to produce a saturated solution
Miscible
fluids that will dissolve in each other in all proportions
