20 FACTS ABOUT SOLUTES AND SOLVENTS
20 FACTS ABOUT SOLUTES AND SOLVENTS
Here are 20 important facts about solutes and solvents:
- A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent.
- The solvent is the dissolving medium.
- The solute and solvent can be in any state of matter: solid, liquid, or gas.
- The solute and solvent must be miscible, meaning they can mix together to form a solution.
- The solubility of a solute is the amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
- The solubility of a solute can be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of other solutes.
- A solution can be saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated.
- A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.
- An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature.
- A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature.
- The solute particles in a solution are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
- The solute particles in a solution do not settle to the bottom of the container.
- The solute particles in a solution are not visible to the naked eye.
- The properties of a solution are different from the properties of the solute and solvent.
- Solutions can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
- A homogeneous solution is a solution in which the solute and solvent are evenly distributed throughout the solution.
- A heterogeneous solution is a solution in which the solute and solvent are not evenly distributed throughout the solution.
- Solutions are important in many fields, including chemistry, biology, and medicine.
- Solutions are used in a variety of applications, including food preparation, cleaning, and drug delivery.
- The study of solutions is called solubility.

Comprehension
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
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.
