a solution is made of _______ and _________
solute and solvent
what is a solvent?
the component of the solution that dissolves the other component in it (usually present in larger amount) is called the solvent
solute-
the component of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent (usually present in a smaller quantity) is called solute

does not
a solution is ________ (stable/unstable)
stable
a solution cannot be seperated by _______
filteration
saturated solution-
at any particular temperature, a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving is called a saturated solution
solubillity is-
the amount of solute present in the saturated solution at this temperature is called its solubility
unsaturated solution is-
amount of solute contained in a solution is less than the saturation level it is called unsaturated solution.
