Solute vs Solvent

What is the relationship between solute and solvent in a solution?

• The solute is the substance doing the dissolving, while the solvent is the substance being dissolved.

• The solute and solvent are always the same substance.

• The solute is the substance being dissolved, while the solvent is the substance doing the dissolving.

• The solute is a gas, and the solvent is a liquid.

What is the definition of a solvent?

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

• A mixture of two or more substances that cannot be separated.

• A solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction.

• A liquid that cannot dissolve any other substances.

What is a supersaturated solution?

• A solution that contains less solute than it can dissolve.

• A solution that contains exactly the amount of solute that can dissolve.

• A solution that contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature.

• A solution that is saturated at a lower temperature.

How does stirring affect the dissolution of a solute?

• Stirring has no effect on the dissolution of a solute.

• Stirring helps solutes dissolve quicker in a solvent.

• Stirring makes the solute dissolve slower in a solvent.

• Stirring only affects the temperature of the solvent.

What is the definition of a solute?

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

• A liquid that dissolves other substances.

• A solid that cannot dissolve in any liquid.

• A gas that forms bubbles in a liquid.

What is the term for a solution with a high concentration of solute?

• Dilute solution

• Concentrated solution

• Saturated solution

• Supersaturated solution

What is a solution?

• A solution is a heterogeneous mixture of different substances.

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent.

• A solution is a type of chemical reaction that produces gas.

• A solution is a solid substance that cannot dissolve in any liquid.

What is a saturated solution?

• A solution that contains more solute than can be dissolved.

• A solution in which no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature.

• A solution that has reached its boiling point.

• A solution that is completely solid at room temperature.

What is an example of a common solute?

• Sugar (sucrose)

• Salt (sodium chloride)

• Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

• Vinegar (acetic acid)

What is concentration in terms of solutions?

• The total volume of a solution.

• The amount of solute that is dissolved in a given amount of solvent.

• The temperature at which a solution boils.

• The color intensity of a solution.
