What is a solvent
The part of a solution present in the largest amount
What is a solution
A well mixed mixture that contains a solvent and at least on solute
What is a solute
A substance present in a solution in a smaller amount
In a solution, the______is dissolved by the _______
Solute, solvent
Why is water called the universal solvent
Because it dissolves so many substances
What are some facts about the effects of solutes on solutions
Solute a raise the boiling point of a solvent, the temperature must drop lower than 0 degrees celsius for water to freeze when a solute is dissolved in the water, and antifreeze boils at a lower temperature than pure water
What is a dilute solution
Mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent
What is a concentrated solution
Has a lot of dissolved solute in the solvent what is solubility
What is solubility
Measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature
What is a saturated solution
It is when you’ve added so much solute that no more dissolves
What is a supersaturated solution
Has more dissolved than is predicted by its solubility at the given temperature
What is an unsaturated solution
A mixture in which more solute can be dissolved
What are three factors that affect the solubility of a substance
Pressure, type of solvent, and temperature
The higher the pressure of the gas, the_____gas can dissolve in a solvent
More
What are some facts about temperature and solubility
Most solids become more soluble as the temperature goes up, most gasses become less soluble as the temperature goes up, carbon dioxide dissolves better in cold water than in hot water
