What is a solvent?

• The substance that does the dissolving in a solution.
• The substance that is being dissolved in a solution.
• The mixing of different substances.
• The process in which neutral molecules lose or gain electrons

In the above picture, a powder is about to be poured into the liquid. Which of the following should be done to make this powder dissolve faster?

• stir the powder in the liquid
• freeze the mixture
• add more powder to the liquid
• store the mixture in a dark place

A solution that is considered dilute would be....

• Dark in color
• Have a strong scent
• Have a large amount of solute
• Have a small amount of solute

When a solvent contains as much of the solute as it can hold, the solution is said to be

• supersaturated
• diluted
• saturated
• unsaturated

It is a maximum amount of solute that is soluble in 100 cm³ of solvent at a specific temperature.

This statement refers to
