Concentration of Solutions Task Cards

Front

What is concentration in a solution?

Back

Concentration refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solvent. It indicates how strong or weak a solution is.

Front

What happens when you add more solvent to a solution?

Back

Adding more solvent decreases the concentration of the solution, making it less strong.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. For example, salt is a solute in saltwater.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution. Water is a common solvent.

Front

What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

Back

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

How can you increase the concentration of a solution?

Back

You can increase the concentration by adding more solute to the solution.

Front

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

Back

A concentrated solution has a high amount of solute compared to the solvent, while a dilute solution has a low amount of solute.

Front

What effect does temperature have on solubility?

Back

Generally, increasing the temperature increases the solubility of solids in liquids, allowing more solute to dissolve.

Front

What is an example of a concentrated solution?

Back

An example of a concentrated solution is a solution with 50 g of salt dissolved in 100 ml of water.

Front

What is an example of a dilute solution?

Back

An example of a dilute solution is a solution with 5 g of salt dissolved in 200 ml of water.
