Front

What is a concentrated solution?

Back

A concentrated solution is one that has a large amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent.

Front

What is a diluted solution?

Back

A diluted solution is one that has a small amount of solute dissolved in a large amount of solvent.

Front

What does it mean for a solution to be unsaturated?

Back

An unsaturated solution is one that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is the process to make a solute dissolve faster in a solvent?

Back

Stirring the mixture increases the interaction between solute and solvent, helping the solute to dissolve faster.

Front

What is desalination?

Back

Desalination is the process of removing salt from ocean water to obtain fresh water.

Front

What are the two main components of a solution?

Back

A solution is composed of solutes (the substance being dissolved) and solvents (the substance doing the dissolving).

Front

What does 'soluble' mean?

Back

Soluble refers to a substance that can dissolve in a solvent.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solution.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, forming a solution.

Front

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

Back

The excess solute will not dissolve and will remain undissolved in the solution.
