- It is the component that determines the state of a solution
- It is the component present in the largest amount in a solution
What happens to the boiling point of a solution when a non-volatile solute is added?
What happens to the boiling point of a solution when a non-volatile solute is added?
- The boiling point decreases
- The boiling point remains unchanged
- The boiling point increases (correct)
- The boiling point fluctuates
Which statement best describes a supersaturated solution?
Which statement best describes a supersaturated solution?
- It contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature
- It is formed by adding more solute than normally possible to a solvent at a given temperature (correct)
- It has a lower concentration compared to a saturated solution
- It is stable and does not precipitate even if disturbed

Flashcards
Solute
Solute
The substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution, typically present in a smaller amount compared to the solvent.
Boiling Point Elevation
Boiling Point Elevation
Adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent increases the boiling point of the solution.
Supersaturated Solution
Supersaturated Solution
A solution that contains more dissolved solute than the solvent can normally hold at a given temperature.
