Solutions Review

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single physical state.

• Solute

• Solvent

• Solution

• Miscible

Mark all of the following which describe the properties of a solution:

• Particles are very small - atoms, molecules, or ions.

• Particles are evenly distributed - uniformly spread out and intermingled

• Particles in a solution will not separate or settle out no matter how long it sits.

• Particles must consist of both a metal and a nonmetal.

A substance that is dissolved in the solution is known as the ____________.

• Solute

• Solvent

• Miscible

• Immiscible

Mark the following the type of solutions that exist:

• Solid solutions

• Gaseous solutions

• Liquid solutions

• Aqueous solutions

The substance the solute is dissolved in (stuff that does the dissolving)

• Aqueous

• Solute

• Solubility

• Concentrated

A limit to the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent is known as ______________.

• Saturation

• Unsaturated

• Supersaturated

• Solubility

When a solution contain less than the maximum amount of solute ( I could still add more, and the solute would dissolve), it is known as _____________.

• Saturated

• Unsaturated

• Supersaturated

• Dilute

A solution contains a greater amount of the solute than necessary for a saturated solution (extra solute unable to dissolve).

• Saturated

• Unsaturated

• Supersaturated

• Solution

Check all the factors that affect solubility

• Nature of Solute and Solvent

• Time of day

• Temperature

• Pressure

True or false: Increasing the temperature increasing the solubility of most solids in solution.

• True

• False
