solvent

transparent

filtering

opaque

solution
when a solid has dissolved in a liquid
mixtures
different substances jumbled up together
insoluble
something that will not dissolved in a liquid
filtrate
the liquid that goes through a filter
pure substance
is one in which all the particles (atoms or molecules) are the same
examples of mixtures
air, tap water and seawater
made up of different particles that are not combined with one another
what is separation?
pure drinking water out of seawater
how to separate solute and solvent?
is by getting rid of the solvent. you can do this by evaporation
when does evaporation take place?
when liquid is left in a warm place
what happens when liquid evaporates and dries out?
crystals form. this form is called crystalisation
