Exploring the Solution

The video tutorial explains the difference between mixtures and chemically changed substances, focusing on solutions as a type of homogeneous mixture. It details the components of solutions, namely solute and solvent, and discusses the concepts of concentration and saturation. The tutorial also highlights the importance of understanding solutions in real-world contexts, such as ensuring water safety.

What is a mixture?

• A single substance with no other components

• A substance that cannot be separated

• A physical combination of two or more substances

• A chemical reaction between two substances

In a solution, what is the role of the solvent?

• It is the substance that gets dissolved

• It is the substance that dissolves other materials

• It is always present in a smaller amount

• It is the substance that cannot dissolve anything

What happens in a saturated solution?

• The solvent evaporates

• The solution becomes a solid

• More solute can be dissolved

• No more solute can be dissolved

Why is water often referred to as the universal solvent?

• It is always pure and free of pollutants

• It cannot dissolve any substances

• It is the only liquid solvent

• It can dissolve many substances found in nature

What should you consider when finding water in nature?

• The presence of dissolved pollutants

• The color of the water

• The temperature of the water

• The taste of the water
