Solutions Saturation and Solubility

in a solution of salt and water, which is the solute?

• water

• salt

• salt water

• the glass

able to dissolve in a solvent

• insoluble

• soluble

• solution

• mixture

a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a solvent

• saturated

• unsaturated

• super saturated

• agitation

a solution that contains more of the dissolved solute than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances; increasing temperature or pressure can increase the maximum possible solute dissolved in a solvent

• saturated

• unsaturated

• super saturated

• concentration

a graph that compares the amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at various temperatures

• solubility curve

• pH scale

• surface area

• direct variation

a factor that affects solubility by increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules; the more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute molecules more often allowing dissolving to happen faster and more solute to be dissolved

• saturation

• temperature

• agitation

• surface area

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

a factor that affects solubility by moving the molecules of the solute and solvent around to cause more collisions to increase the rate of solubility; stirring is an example

• indicator

• temperature

• agitation

• surface area

A homogeneous mixture in which the minor component (Solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (solvent)

• solution

• solubility

• Acid

• Base

A substance doing the dissolving, usually the part of a solution present in the larger amount

• solvent

• solute

• solution

• solubility

a substance being dissolved, usually the part of the solution in the lesser amount

• solvent

• solute

• solubility

• concentration
