What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. In the case of Kool-Aid, water is the solvent.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution is one that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is another name for a homogeneous mixture?

Back

A homogeneous mixture is also known as a solution.

Front

Which solute is the least soluble at 90 ⁰C: SO₂, KClO₃, KI, or HCl?

Back

SO₂ is the least soluble at 90 ⁰C.

Front

How does a solution become supersaturated?

Back

A solution becomes supersaturated by dissolving more solute than it should be able to at a given temperature.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one that has dissolved the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Front

What factors affect solubility?

Back

Factors that affect solubility include temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.

Front

What is the difference between a concentrated and a dilute solution?

Back

A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute relative to the amount of solvent, while a dilute solution has a small amount of solute.
