What is solution
a mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent.
What is saturated solution

A solution that exceeds its maximum amount of solute by increasing the temperature.
In a solution of sugar and water which is the solute and which is the solvent?

What is the difference between dissolving and melting
Dissolving is when a substance mixes into a liquid to form a solution, while melting is when a solid turns into a liquid due to heat.
Paper chromatography is a method of
separation
What is paper chromatography
a technique used to separate and identify substances in a mixture.
What is the effect of temperature on solubility
higher temperature increases solubility for solids but decreases solubility for gases.
Give some examples of dissolving and some examples of melting
dissolving: salt in water
Melting: ice cream on a hot day
Give an example of solutions in our daily life
tea (sugar + water)
What is homogeneous?
The same kind or alike.
