Solution Components and Properties

  • Solute: The smaller component in a solution that dissolves.
  • Solvent: The liquid in which the solute dissolves.
  • Concentration: The ratio of solute to solvent.
  • Dilute solution: Contains a small amount of solute compared to the solvent.
  • Concentrated solution: Contains a high amount of solute.

Density and Buoyancy

  • Density: Mass per unit volume.
  • Equal volumes: Essential for accurate comparison of solutions.
  • Layers: One substance placed on top of another.
  • Float: Objects less dense than the liquid.
  • Sink: Objects denser than the liquid.
