Solubility and Solutions

You can make a solute dissolve more quickly in a solvent by

• adding more solute.

• adding ice.

• heating the solvent.

• removing some solvent.

A solution that contains all of the solute it can hold at a given temperature is

• diluted.

• saturated.

• supersaturated.

• unsaturated.

The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a given temperature is its

• concentration.

• density.

• dilution.

• solubility.

A solution is defined as

• A mixture of oil and water

• A mixture where a substance is dissolved

• A mixture that contains two solids

• None of the above

A solution is made up of two components. The first is the solute. What is the solute?

• The substance that dissolves

• The substance that does the dissolving

• The liquid substance

• None of the above

A solvent is

• a mixture

• a liquid

• A liquid substance which dissolves a solute

• anything that can mix

Choose from the list below, an example of a solvent

• sand

• sugar

• salt

• water

The ability of a solute to be dissolved is called its

• nature

• mixture

• solubility

• solvent

Solute + Solvent =

• Mixture

• colloid

• suspension

• solution

Select all the factors which can affect the solubility of a substance

• temperature

• size of solute or the surface area of the solute

• the amount of stirring
