20 FACTS ABOUT SOLUTES AND SOLVENTS


 20 FACTS ABOUT SOLUTES AND SOLVENTS

Here are 20 important facts about solutes and solvents:

  1. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent.
  2. The solvent is the dissolving medium.
  3. The solute and solvent can be in any state of matter: solid, liquid, or gas.
  4. The solute and solvent must be miscible, meaning they can mix together to form a solution.
  5. The solubility of a solute is the amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
  6. The solubility of a solute can be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of other solutes.
  7. A solution can be saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated.
  8. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.
  9. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature.
  10. A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature.
  11. The solute particles in a solution are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
  12. The solute particles in a solution do not settle to the bottom of the container.
  13. The solute particles in a solution are not visible to the naked eye.
  14. The properties of a solution are different from the properties of the solute and solvent.
  15. Solutions can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
  16. A homogeneous solution is a solution in which the solute and solvent are evenly distributed throughout the solution.
  17. A heterogeneous solution is a solution in which the solute and solvent are not evenly distributed throughout the solution.
  18. Solutions are important in many fields, including chemistry, biology, and medicine.
  19. Solutions are used in a variety of applications, including food preparation, cleaning, and drug delivery.
  20. The study of solutions is called solubility.

    • A. Saturated
    • B. Unsaturated
    • C. Supersaturated
    • D. None of the above
  4. What is the term for a solution that contains less solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature?

    • A. Saturated
    • B. Unsaturated
    • C. Supersaturated
    • D. None of the above

Comprehension

  1. Why do solute particles in a solution not settle to the bottom of the container?

    • A. They are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
    • B. They are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
    • C. They are attracted to the solvent molecules.
    • D. All of the above
  2. What is the difference between a homogeneous solution and a heterogeneous solution?

    • A. A homogeneous solution is evenly mixed, while a heterogeneous solution is not.
    • B. A homogeneous solution is made up of only one phase, while a heterogeneous solution is made up of two or more phases.
    • C. A homogeneous solution is a gas, while a heterogeneous solution is a liquid.
    • D. None of the above

Application

  1. If you want to dissolve more salt in water, what can you do?

    • A. Add more water.
    • B. Heat the water.
    • C. Cool the water.
    • D. Stir the water.
  2. What is the solvent in the following solution: salt water?

    • A. Salt
    • B. Water
    • C. Both salt and water
    • D. None of the above

Analysis

  1. Why is the solubility of a solute affected by temperature?

    • A. The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the solute molecules have, which makes them more likely to dissolve.
    • B. The higher the temperature, the more solvent molecules are available to dissolve the solute molecules.
    • C. The higher the temperature, the weaker the intermolecular forces between the solvent molecules, which makes it easier for the solute molecules to dissolve.
    • D. All of the above
  2. What is the difference between a solution and a colloid?

    • A. A solution is a homogeneous mixture, while a colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
    • B. A solution is made up of only one phase, while a colloid is made up of two or more phases.
    • C. The solute particles in a solution are smaller than the solute particles in a colloid.
    • D. None of the above
