Solvent

The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves.

100

In this image, what is the solute? (Kool-Aid or water?)

Kool-Aid

100

Why do manufacturers include concentration on their labels?

So people know how to use the product safely and effectively.

100

How might a magnet be used to separate a mixture?

You could use a magnet to pull metals from a solution. 

200

Solute

The solute is the substance that dissolves.

200

In this image, what is the solvent?

The water. 

200

How is concentration usually displayed on a product's label?

g/L or grams per litre. 

200

What category can solutions and mechanical mixtures be placed in?


300

Solubility

Solubility describes how easily a solute will dissolve in a solvent to make a solution.

300

Solute + Solvent = _________?

Solution. 

300

What is the difference between soluble and insoluble?

When a substance will dissolve in a solvent, we say that it is soluble. If a substance will not dissolve, it is said to be insoluble

300

What is an advantage of distilling water?

This includes solid particles such as salts and minerals, as well as other impurities such as bacteria and viruses.

400

Concentration

Concentration describes the amount of solute in a solution.

400

What kind of mixture is a bowl of cereal?

A mechanical mixture. 

400

Hummingbirds like sugar water with a concentration of 300 g/L. When you mix this solution, a lot of sugar tends to remain undissolved at the bottom of the container. How can you increase the solubility?

You an increase solubility by increasing the temperature of the solvent. 

400

Which graph shows the relationship between increasing temperature and solubility?

C or D.

500

Distillation

Distillation is another way to get clean water. During this process, water is boiled and the steam collected. As the steam cools, it condenses to form pure water.

500

What is the difference between a solvent and a solution?

The solute is the substance that dissolves.

The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. There is usually less solute than solvent in a solution.

500

What happens to the solubility of a solute as the temperature of a solution increases?

It increases. 

500

A lab technician mixes a sugar solution by dissolving 10 g of sugar in enough water to make 1 L of solution. What is the concentration of this solution?

10g/L

500

Do most solutes dissolve better in warm water or in cold water? Explain why. Feel free to use diagrams.
