What is a solution?
A solution is simply a homogeneous mixture. A solution consists of the substance that is referred to as the solute being mixed into another substance, called the solvent. When salt is mixed with water, the salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. The components of solutions are either atoms, molecules, or ions.
What is a solute?
The solute is the substance that is being dissolved in a solution.
What is a solvent?
The solvent is the substance that does the dissolving in a solution.
What does the concentration of a solution measure?
The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent.
What is molarity?
Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solution. The greater the molarity, the greater the concentration of the solute in the solvent.
What is solubility?
Solubility describes how much of a solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
What is a saturated solution?
A saturated solution is a solution that has dissolved as much solute as possible, and if more solute is added, it will not dissolve.
What is an unsaturated solution?
An unsaturated solution is a solution that can dissolve more solute if more is added.
What is a mole?
One mole is a unit of measure for atoms, molecules, and ions. One mole equals 6.02 × 1023 things.
What is gram atomic mass?
The gram atomic mass is the mass in grams of one mole of an atom.
What is gram formula mass?
The gram formula mass is the mass in grams of one mole of a molecule or formula unit.
Have you ever had a drink lemonade that had too much lemon flavor? How can you reduce the flavor and make the drink better? In this investigation, you’ll examine the factors that affect the concentration of a solution and how to take the too much lemon” out of your lemonade.
