Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes the relationship between a solute and a solvent?

  • The solvent dissolves the solute to form a solution. (correct)
  • The solute and solvent react chemically to form a precipitate.
  • The solute dissolves the solvent to form a solution.
  • The solvent and solute are immiscible, creating a suspension.

What is the term for a solution that contains more dissolved solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature?

  • Unsaturated solution
  • Supersaturated solution (correct)
  • Saturated solution
  • Diluted solution

Which of the following factors would NOT affect the solubility of a solid solute in a liquid solvent?

Study Notes

  • Solution: A homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
  • Solute: The substance that dissolves in a solvent.
  • Solvent: The substance that dissolves a solute.
  • Solubility: The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.
  • Dynamic Equilibrium: A state where the rate of dissolving equals the rate of precipitation, resulting in no net change in solute concentration.
