3.

What is solubility?

a)

Solubility is the capacity of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.

b)

Solubility is the process of a substance changing its state from solid to gas.

c)

Solubility refers to the weight of a substance in a solid state.

d)

Solubility is the amount of heat a substance can absorb.

4.

How does temperature affect solubility?

a)

Temperature has no effect on solubility.

b)

Gases become more soluble in liquids as temperature increases.

c)

Temperature generally increases the solubility of solids in liquids and decreases the solubility of gases in liquids.

A concentrated solution has a high amount of solute relative to the solvent.

b)

A concentrated solution has a low amount of solute relative to the solvent.

c)

A concentrated solution is always a solid mixture.

d)

A concentrated solution contains equal amounts of solute and solvent.

6.

What is a dilute solution?

a)

A dilute solution contains only solid solutes.

b)

A dilute solution is one that has no solvent present.

c)

A dilute solution has a low concentration of solute compared to solvent.

d)

A dilute solution has a high concentration of solute compared to solvent.

7.

How do you separate a mixture of sand and salt?

a)

Mix sand and salt together without any treatment.

b)

Burn the mixture to separate the components.

c)

Use a magnet to separate the sand from the salt.

d)

Use water to dissolve the salt, then filter to separate sand, and evaporate to recover salt.

8.

What is the property of a homogeneous mixture?

a)

Uniform composition throughout

b)

Variable composition

c)

Presence of distinct layers

b)

All components are in a single phase and indistinguishable.

c)

The components are not uniformly distributed and can be physically separated.

d)

The mixture has a consistent composition throughout.

10.

What happens to the solubility of most solids as temperature increases?

a)

The solubility of most solids is not affected by temperature.

b)

The solubility of most solids remains unchanged with temperature changes.

c)

The solubility of most solids increases as temperature increases.

d)

The solubility of most solids decreases as temperature increases.
