Solutions (Concentration and Dissolving) V2

Front

What happens when you crush a sugar cube before dissolving it?

Back

Crushing the sugar cube increases the surface area, allowing it to dissolve faster.

Front

What is the definition of concentration in a solution?

Back

Concentration refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solvent or solution.

Front

Does stirring a solute into a solvent affect the rate of dissolving?

Back

Yes, stirring increases the rate of dissolving by distributing the solute particles more evenly.

Front

What is the universal solvent?

Back

Water is known as the universal solvent because it can dissolve many substances.

Front

How can you determine which solution has a higher concentration?

Back

Compare the number of solute particles in a given volume of each solution.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Front

What is the difference between a saturated solution and an unsaturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature, while an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

Front

What effect does temperature have on the solubility of most solids?

Back

Generally, increasing the temperature increases the solubility of most solid solutes.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, consisting of a solute and a solvent.
