Lesson 24: Properties of Aqueous Solutions

Define or explain the term 'Solution' (chemistry)

• A method or process of solving a problem

• A type of chemical mixture

• A mathematical equation

• A philosophical concept

An 'Aqueous solution' is a solution in which the solvent is:

• Water

• Alcohol

• Acetone

• Benzene

Define or explain the term 'Solute'.

• A substance that is dissolved in a solution.

• A liquid that dissolves a solute.

• A mixture of two or more substances.

• A chemical reaction product.

Define or explain the term 'Solvent'.

• A substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

• A substance that is dissolved in a solvent.

• A chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of atoms.

• A measure of the amount of matter in an object.

Distillation is a process used to:

• Separate components based on boiling points

• Combine different substances

• Measure temperature

• Change the color of a liquid

Crystallization is a process used to:

• Separate mixtures into pure substances

• Combine substances into a mixture

• Change the color of a substance

• Increase the temperature of a substance
