Solutions & Solubility

a homogeneous mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent)

• solution

Which of the following is a solution?

• salt water

• trail mix

• salad

a solution that contains more of the dissolved solute than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances

• saturated

• unsaturated

• supersaturated

a solution in which more solute can be added and dissolved; below the maximum amount of solute

• saturated

• unsaturated

• supersaturated

a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent

• saturated

• unsaturated

• supersaturated

the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent

• solubility

• conductivity

Match the following terms:

• Increases surface area of solute to interact with solvent to increase the rate of dissolution

• Crushing solute

• Mechanically increases number of solute/solvent interactions to increase rate of dissolution

• Increasing agitation

• Increases kinetic energy of solute and solvent particles to increase rate of dissolution

• Temperature increase
