solute
solute
[nom]

a substance that is dissolved in a solvent, resulting in a solution

soluté, substance dissoute

Ex: In saltwater, salt (NaCl) is the solute that dissolves in water, the solvent. 
reactant

a substance that takes part in and undergoes a chemical reaction, leading to the formation of new products

réactif

réactif

Ex: In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) are the reactants that, in the presence of sunlight, produce glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂). 
catalyst

(chemistry) a substance that causes a chemical reaction to happen at a faster rate without undergoing any chemical change itself

catalyseur

oxidation-reduction

a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred between substances

oxydoréduction, réaction d'oxydoréduction

oxydoréduction, réaction d'oxydoréduction

Ex: The combustion of wood is an oxidation-reduction reaction where wood undergoes oxidation, producing carbon dioxide and water. 
molarity

the concentration of a solute in a solution, measured in moles per liter (mol/L or M)

molarité, concentration molaire

molarité, concentration molaire

Ex: A solution with a molarity of 0.5 M means there are 0.5 moles of solute in each liter of the solution.
