Definitions for Chemistry Labs:

– Solution = liquid mixture
– Titrant = solution of a known concentration. Use a burette to put the titrant into a solution (in a beaker).
– Solute = minor component that is uniformly distributed in the solvent
– Solvent = major component that contains the solute
– Precipitate = insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution
i. a liquid ejects a solid
ii. a gas ejects a liquid or solid
– Reactants = left side of a chemistry equation
– Products = right side of chemistry equation
– Electronic balance = scale used in chemistry experiments
