A solution is a kind of ________.

• homogeneous mixture

• compound

• element

• heterogeneous mixture

When a solution is made with water as the solvent, it is called a(n) ____________.

• mineral water

• water mixture

• heterogeneous mixture

• aqueous solution

The _____is the part that gets dissolved. 

• solute 
• solvent 
• solution 
• Sacajawea 

We can increase the rate a solute will dissolve by 

• Heating it, Crushing it Stirring it
• Heating it, cooling it crushing it
• Stirring it, Crushing it cooling it
• Smelling it, crushing it, stirring it

This spreads the solvent's molecules around the solute and increases the chance of them coming into contact with it

• Heating
• Stirring
• Cooling
• Crushing
