|
Materials in a ____ _____ can be easily separated. |
simple mixture |
|
the materials in a _______ spread out evenly, Example: |
solution, sugar water solution |
|
What are the two parts of a solution? |
1. Solute-material that dissolves (spreads out), ex.: sugar water 2. solvent-material in which solute water dissolves, ex.: water in sugar water |
|
Solutions can be ______, _________, or _______. |
saturated, concentrated, diluted |
|
containing all the solute that can be dissolved without changing the temperature |
saturated |
|
having so much solute that it is close to being saturated |
concentrated |
|
has very little solute, far from being saturated |
diluted |
|
What is solubility (3)? |
1. physical property 2. amount of substance can be dissolved by a solvent of a certain temperature. 3. Solubility increases as temperature increase; example-hot water can hold more salt than cold water |
|
How can salt and pepper be separated from a mixture of salt, pepper, and water (2 steps)? |
1. Pour the salt, pepper, and water mixture through a filter. The pepper will remain on the filter. 2. Boil the salt water until the water evaporates, leaving the salt. |
