Mix and Flow of Matter

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). It determines how heavy a substance is for a given volume.

Lamp oil has the least density compared to karo syrup, water, and honey.

A solute is the substance that gets dissolved in a solution, such as sugar in lemonade.

A solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, such as water in a sugar solution.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances where each retains its own properties, like lemonade made from water, sugar, and lemon juice.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where the solute is completely dissolved in the solvent.

Water is known as the universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid.

PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment, which includes gear worn to minimize exposure to hazards.

A solute is the substance that is dissolved, while a solvent is the substance that does the dissolving.

An example of a solid solute is table salt (sodium chloride) when dissolved in water.
