Solutions

A solution is:

• a homogenous mixture of two or more substances

• a pure substance

• a heterogenous mixture of only water

When a substance dissolves in water, we say that this substance is:

• insoluble

• only ionic

• soluble

A soluble substance:

• will not dissolve in water

• will dissolve in water

• is only an electrolyte

When a substance will not dissolve in water:

• soluble

• insoluble

• ionic

• moleculear

Does not dissolve in water

• soluble

• solute

• insoluble

• solvent

Sugar will dissolve in water, we say that sugar is:

• soluble

• insolbule

• an electrolyte

• a weak electrolyte

A solvent

• present in the larger amount, substance that does the dissolving

• present in the smaller amount, substance that gets dissolved

• present in equal amounts, neither dissolves

• the beaker
