Science 7: Solubility and Types of Solutions

Which is an example of a solute?

• Egg whites

• Sugar

• Water

• Acetone

Which is an example of a solvent?

• Salt
• Egg whites
• Water
• Sugar

What is a solvent

• A liquid that will dissolve a solid solute

• Another word for solution

• A thing that make drinks change colour

• Usually the solid about to be dissolved

If I dissolve sugar in water, what is the solute?

• Water
• Hydrogen
• Sugar
• Carbon

If I dissolve salt in water, what is the solvent?

• salt

• water

• salt & water

• none of the above

The amount of solute actually dissolved in a given amount of solvent.

• dilution
• concentration
• saturated solution
• supersaturated mixture

When a solvent contains as much of the solute as it can hold, the solution is said to be

• supersaturated
• diluted
• saturated
• unsaturated

How does a solution become supersaturated?

• dissolve lots of solute in it.
• dissolve a little solute in it. 
• dissolve more solute than you should be able to. 
• dissolve a super amount of solvent in it. 

__________ are made up of solutes and solvents.

• Solutions
• Suspensions
• Heterogeneous Mixtures
• Pure Substances

Which of the following is an unsaturated solution?

• 1 tsp of juice powder in 1 tsp water

• 1 tablespoon of milk in 1 liter of water

• 1 gram of coffee powder in 1 gram of hot water

• None of the above
