Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is a solution that has dissolved the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What happens when you add more solute to a saturated solution?

Back

The additional solute will not dissolve; it will remain as solid crystals.

Front

What is the effect of heating a saturated solution?

Back

Heating a saturated solution increases the solubility of the solute, allowing more solute to dissolve.

Front

What is a homogeneous mixture?

Back

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that has a uniform composition throughout, such as a solution.

Front

What is a heterogeneous mixture?

Back

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components are not uniformly distributed, and different parts can be seen.

Front

What is dilution in chemistry?

Back

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually by adding more solvent.

Front

What is an aqueous solution?

Back

An aqueous solution is a solution in which water is the solvent.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back
