12 Questions
What is the difference between soluble and insoluble substances?
Soluble substances can dissolve in a liquid, while insoluble substances cannot dissolve in the liquid.
Define solubility.
Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.
What is a saturated solution?
A saturated solution is a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute, leaving undissolved substances at the bottom.
How does the rate of solution vary?
The rate of solution can vary based on factors like temperature, stirring/shaking, and grain size of the solute.
Explain the difference between melting and dissolving.
Melting involves a phase change due to added heat, while dissolving involves a solute mixing with a solvent.
How can you reverse the process of melting?
You can reverse melting by cooling the substance.
What is the difference between melting and dissolving?
Melting involves a phase change from solid to liquid due to added heat, while dissolving is when solid particles break away into a liquid without a phase change.
How can individuals contribute to using less resources?
By practicing the 5 Rs: Reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, renew.
What are the benefits of practicing the 5Rs?
Using less energy, reducing pollution, saving natural resources, creating jobs, earning money, and saving money.
Define a force in the context of physics.
A force is a push or pull that comes from one object interacting with another.
How do pushing and pulling forces differ?
Pushing forces are forces of repulsion (push away from each other), while pulling forces are forces of attraction (pull towards each other).
What is the unit used to measure the size of a force?
Forces are measured in Newtons (N).
Study Notes
Soluble and Insoluble Substances
- Soluble substances like sugar and salt can dissolve in water to form a solution.
- The liquid in which the substance dissolves is the solvent, and the substance that dissolves is the solute.
- Insoluble substances like sand do not dissolve in water.
Saturated Solutions
- A saturated solution is a solution that has reached its maximum capacity to hold a solute, leaving undissolved substances at the bottom.
- Unsaturated solutions can still dissolve more solute.
Factors Affecting the Rate of Solution
- Temperature of the mixture affects the rate of solution.
- Stirring or shaking the mixture affects the rate of solution.
- Grain size of the solute affects the rate of solution.
Melting and Dissolving
- Melting occurs when heat is added to a substance, changing its phase from solid to liquid.
- Dissolving occurs when a solid is placed in a liquid and particles of the solid break away into the liquid, with no phase change.
Importance of Recycling
- 60-80% of daily waste can be recycled.
- Practicing the 5 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair, Renew) can help conserve resources and save the planet.
- Recycling materials include glass, plastic, paper, and cans.
Benefits of Practicing the 5Rs
- Reduces energy consumption
- Reduces pollution
- Saves natural resources
- Creates jobs
- Earns and saves money
- Reduces land use for waste dumps
Forces Between Matter
- Forces are pushes or pulls that occur when objects interact.
- Examples of forces include pushing and pulling, which are opposite forces.
Measuring Forces
- Forces have magnitude (amount or size) and can be measured in Newtons (N).
- A spring balance is used to measure the magnitude of a force.
Effects of Forces on Objects
- Forces can change an object's shape.
- Forces can change an object's movement (speed up or slow down).
- Forces can change an object's direction.
- Forces can cause an object to turn or twist.
- Forces can have no noticeable effect.
