The larger part of a solution is called this.
Solvent
How can you describe a saturated solution in qualitative terms?
High concentration (amount of solute in solution)
Cloudy
Solid visible
Strong taste
The smaller part of a solution that dissolves is called this.
Solute
Give 1 example of a heterogeneous mixture.
Trail mix, human body
When is a solution saturated?
If the concentration is too high that no more solute can dissolve, it has become a saturated solution
This substance is known as the universal solvent.
Water
When is a solution considered unsaturated?
Unsaturated solutions are solutions where more solute can be dissolved (think of it like there’s still more room!)
The three factors impacting Solubility are...
Temperature, stirring, and particle size
What is the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture?
Homogeneous looks the same throughout and you can't take the mixture apart. Heterogeneous can be taken apart and is very easy to tell the parts of the mixture.
How can you describe a solution in quantitative terms?
Amount of solute (how much is dissolved)
Spoonful (1 spoon of…)
Grams (g)
Volume of solvent (usually water)
millilitres (mL)
litres (L)
Ex. “When 4 spoonfuls of sugar are put in 100 mL of water, the solution is saturated!”
Why is water the universal solvent?
Water dissolves more different substances than any other solvent
Give an example of a homogeneous mixture that is not a liquid or gas.
A nail used for wood work, chocolate
Define concentration. Does a saturated solution have a high or low concentration?
The amount of solute present in an amount of solution
The more solute you have the more concentrated your solution is!
