Introduction to Aqueous Solutions

How does a solution become supersaturated?

• dissolve lots of solute in it.
• dissolve a little solute in it. 
• dissolve more solute than you should be able to. 
• dissolve a solvent in it. 

What do you call a solution where more solute can still be dissolved at the given temperature?

• Saturated

• Unsaturated

• Mixture

• Homogeneous solution

Describe a solute.

• part of solution present in largest amount
• gets dissolved
• water
• surrounds and breaks apart

__________ are made up of solutes and solvents.

• Solutions
• Suspensions
• Heterogeneous Mixtures
• Pure Substances

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

• supersaturated
• diluted
• saturated
• unsaturated

What does it mean to dilute a solution?

• lower the concentration of solute per solvent
• increase the concentration of solute per solvent

You can make a solution more concentrated by adding __________.
