What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute.

Front

What happens when you add more solvent to a solution?

Back

The solution becomes less concentrated.

Front

Why is water considered neutral?

Back

Water is neutral because it has an equal amount of H+ and OH- ions in solution (equal amounts of acid and base).

Front

What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture?

Back

Front

What is concentration in terms of solutions?

Back

Concentration is the amount of solute present in a given volume of solution.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on solubility?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the solubility of solids in liquids increases.
