The video explores the application of chemistry in making frozen treats, focusing on solutions, acids, and bases. It revisits definitions of mixtures and pure substances, emphasizing homogeneous mixtures or solutions. The dissolving process is explained, highlighting solute and solvent interactions. Factors affecting dissolution, such as temperature, pressure, and surface area, are discussed. A lab activity investigates the solubility of different salts at varying temperatures.

What distinguishes a homogeneous mixture from a heterogeneous mixture?

• Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout

• Heterogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout

• Heterogeneous mixtures cannot be separated by physical means

• Homogeneous mixtures can be separated by filtration

In a solution, what is the term for the substance that is being dissolved?

• Solute

• Compound

• Mixture

• Solvent

Why do ionic compounds like salt dissolve differently than covalent compounds like sugar?

• Ionic compounds dissolve into single molecules

• Covalent compounds do not dissolve

• Covalent compounds dissolve into ions

• Ionic compounds dissolve into ions

What happens to the rate of dissolution when you stir a solution?

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It increases

• It stops completely

How does increasing the temperature affect the solubility of a solute in a solvent?

• It decreases the solubility

• It increases the solubility

• It makes the solute evaporate

• It has no effect

What is the effect of increasing pressure on the solubility of gases in liquids?

• It makes the gas escape

• It decreases the solubility

• It has no effect

• It increases the solubility

Why does hot tea dissolve more sugar than cold tea?

• Hot tea increases the kinetic energy of the solvent

• Hot tea decreases the kinetic energy of the solute

• Hot tea has less solute

• Hot tea has more solvent

Which salt did not dissolve at any temperature during the lab activity?
