Overview
Solutions are uniform mixtures formed when one substance dissolves in another. Salt and sugar mixed with water form solutions because the particles spread evenly through the liquid. Non-uniform mixtures such as sand in water, chalk powder in water, or sawdust in water do not form solutions because t
Key Concepts
A solute is the component dissolved
A solute is the component dissolved in a smaller amount, and a solvent is the component that dissolves it, usually present in a larger amount. Togethe
Salt or sugar mixed with water
Salt or sugar mixed with water forms a uniform mixture because the particles are evenly spread. Chalk powder, sand, or sawdust mixed with water forms
An unsaturated solution can still dissolve
An unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature. A saturated solution cannot dissolve any more solute at that temperatur
Concentration is the amount of solute
Concentration is the amount of solute present in a fixed quantity of solution or solvent. Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve
For most solids
For most solids, solubility increases when temperature rises. For gases, solubility generally decreases when temperature rises. A saturated solution c
