Solute + solvent
Solute + Solvent = Solution
what happens when no more sugar can dissolve?
when no more sugar can dissolve then it is saturated
colder ……… solubility
decreased
hotter …….. solubility
increased
the solubility of gasses …… as the temperature …..
decreases,increases
the solubility increases as the ……… of the solvent does
temperature
the solubility of gasses decreases as we ……. the temperature
increase
the definition of a residue pl
the solid that does not pass through the filter paper during flitr
the definition of solute and an example pl
Solute =The substance that dissolves= Sugar
the definition of solvent and example pl
Solvent= The liquid the substance dissolves in Water
the definition of solution with expl pl
Solution =The liquid mixture of solute and solvent. Solutions are clear – you can see through them=Sugar water
what’s the difference between soluble and insoluble?
Soluble= A substance that can be dissolved in a solvent. Salt is soluble in water
Insoluble=A substance that cannot be dissolved in a solvent. Sand is insoluble in water
what is filtration?
Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered: the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue)
the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate)
definition of a filtrate
the liquid that passes through the filter paper during filtration
helpful phrases to revise
volume of the solution has decreased/solution becomes more concentrated
what do u use evaporation for?
Evaporation is used to separate a soluble solid (i.e. a solid that dissolves) from a liquid. For example, copper sulfate is soluble in water – its crystals dissolve in water to form copper sulfate solution.
what is distillation used for?
is a method for separating the solvent from a solution. water can be separated from salt solution by simple distillation.T. When the solution is heated, the water evaporates. It is then cooled and condensed into a separate container. The salt does not evaporate and so it stays behind.
Melting point and boiling point:-
pure water boils at 100°C. If it contains any dissolved solids, like salt, its boiling point will be higher than 100°C. That is why salt is often added to water when cooking. The water boils at a higher temperature and so the food cooks more quickly.
