Unit 4A: Solutions, Solutes, and Factors That Affect Dissolving

What is a solute?

• The liquid that dissolves a substance

• A substance that is dissolved by a solvent

• A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent

• The amount of solute in a solution

What is the solvent in a solution?

• The measure of how much solute is in the solution

• The substance that is being dissolved

• The liquid that is dissolving a solute

• The process of making a solution

What does it mean to dissolve something?

• To increase the concentration of solute

• To become incorporated into a solvent to form a solution

• To remain solid in a solution

• To separate from a solvent

What term describes a substance that is unable to dissolve in a solvent?

• Soluble

• Concentrated

• Insoluble

• Diluted

What is concentration?

• The process of dissolving a solute into a solvent

• The amount of solvent in a solution

• The measure of the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent

• The process of making a substance insoluble

What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

• The solution can dissolve more solute

• The solution contains no solute

• The solution has an equal amount of solute and solvent

• The solution is unable to dissolve any more solute

What is dilution?

• The process of increasing the amount of solute in a solution

• The process of decreasing the concentration of solute by adding more solvent

• The process of making a solution saturated

• The process of removing the solvent from a solution

What does soluble mean?

• Able to dissolve in a solvent

• Unable to dissolve in a solvent

• Completely dissolved in water

• Mixed with another solute

What is an aqueous solution?

• A mixture containing solutes dissolved in a solvent that is not water

• A homogeneous mixture with solutes dissolved in water

• A solution that can only dissolve one substance

• A solution that does not involve water

What is an unsaturated solution?

• A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute

• A solution able to dissolve more solute

• A solution with no solute present

• A solution that contains an excess amount of solute
