True or False Flashcard

Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent, forming a solution.

True. Stirring helps distribute the solute particles, allowing them to interact more with the solvent.

The surface area increases, allowing it to dissolve faster.

The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute; in Kool-aid, water is the solvent.

False. Wood does not dissolve in water; it is considered insoluble.

Most substances become more soluble as the temperature increases.

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

Sand is an example of an insoluble substance in water.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute is completely dissolved in the solvent, while a mixture can be heterogeneous.

Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of molecules, helping sugar dissolve faster.
