Concentration of Solutions Task Cards

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is a mixture where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent).

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solution, such as salt in saltwater.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute in a solution, such as water in saltwater.

Front

How do you calculate the concentration of a solution?

Back

Concentration is calculated by dividing the mass of the solute by the volume of the solvent.

Front

What happens to the concentration if you add more solute?

Back

The concentration of the solution increases.

Front

What happens to the concentration if you add more solvent?

Back

The concentration of the solution decreases.

Front

What is a concentrated solution?

Back

A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute compared to the amount of solvent.

Front

What is a dilute solution?

Back

A dilute solution has a small amount of solute compared to the amount of solvent.

Front

What is an example of a concentrated solution?

Back

A solution with 40 g of salt in 50 mL of water is an example of a concentrated solution.

Front

What is an example of a dilute solution?

Back

A solution with 10 g of salt in 50 mL of water is an example of a dilute solution.
