Solutions, Solutes, and Solvents

what do you get when you put a solute and solvent together?

• a solvent

• a solute

• a solution

• an element

what do you call the part of a solution which causes something to dissolve?

• a suspension

• saturated

• a solvent

• a solute

what is the part of a solution that gets dissolved?

• a solvent

• a colloid

• a solute

• a suspension

when a solvent dissolves the maximum amount of solute it can hold, it is called

• unsaturated

• diluted

• saturated

• suspension

What role does the solvent play in a solution?

• It gets dissolved by the solute.

• It dissolves the solute.

• It increases the solubility of the solute.

• It decreases the temperature of the solution.

What is the role of a solute in a solution?

• To dissolve the solvent

• To be dissolved in the solvent

• To increase the volume of the solution

• To decrease the concentration of the solution

What is the main difference between a solution and a mixture?

• A solution is always liquid, while a mixture can be in any state of matter.

• A solution is homogeneous, while a mixture can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

• A mixture has a variable composition, while a solution's composition cannot change.

• A mixture can only be separated by chemical means, while a solution can be separated by physical means.
