Front

What are solutions composed of?

Back

Solutions are composed of solutes and solvents.

Front

What combination would dissolve a solid solute the fastest?

Back

High temperature and stirring.

Front

How does cold water affect the speed of dissolving?

Back

Cold water slows down dissolving.

Front

What defines saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions?

Back

They are defined by how much solute can dissolve in a solvent.

Front

What do we call a solution where one of the parts is water?

Back

Aqueous solution.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute.

Front

What happens in a saturated solution?

Back

In a saturated solution, no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution is one that can still dissolve more solute.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature.
