explain how phase changes occur
when there is an increase or decrease in energy
define a mixture
a mixture is a combination of two or more substances
identify 3 types of mixtures
solution, suspension, colloid
Describe how temperature affects the rate at which a solute dissolves into a solvent.
the hotter the temperature (of solvent) the faster the particles of the solute becomes smaller
Describe the difference between soluble and insoluble substances
soluble substances dissolve in a liquid, and insoluble liquids dont
identify the parts of a solution
solute and solvent
describe the concentration of a solution
concentration is the amount of solute dissolved. if there is a lot of solute dissolved, the solution is concentrated, and if there’s only a little solute, it is dilute.
Describe the effect increasing the surface area of a solute has on the rate of dissolving
the solvation rate increases
Identify which substance is most and is least soluble (salt, sugar, chalk, flour, soil, copper sulphate)
most soluble: sugar. Least soluble: sand
