Chapter 15 Vocab Boiling temperature elevation- property of solutions that describes temperature difference between boiling point of a pure solvent and temperature at which solution begins to boil. Colligative property- characteristic of a solution that does not depend on size or type of particles present as a solute but only on concentration of the particles, e.g., boiling point elevation and freezing point depression. Dissociation- separation of a molecule into two or more fragments. Producing no …showed first 75 words of 326 total…

Solvent- component of a solution that is in the greater quantity. Spectator ion- ion that is present but does not participate in a reaction. Supersaturated- condition that exists when a solution contains more solute than usual at a given temperature. Unsaturated- condition that exists when a solution is able to dissolve more solute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
