Chemistry Solutions Graded A+
1. What are solutions?
- How are homogeneous mixtures defined?
- Answer: Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
2. What is a homogeneous mixture?
- How would you describe a substance that appears uniform throughout, with no visible separation of
its components?
- Answer: A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout; its components cannot be distinguished
visually.
3. Can a solution be a solid, liquid, and gas?
- Is it possible for a solution to exist in solid, liquid, and gas states?
- Answer: Yes, solutions can exist in solid, liquid, and gas states.
,4. What is an example of a solid solution?
- Provide an example of a solid solution.
- Answer: Alloys, which are mixtures of metals, are examples of solid solutions.
5. What is an example of a gas solution?
- Give an example of a gas solution.
- Answer: Air, which is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases, is an example of
a gas solution.
6. What is an example of a liquid solution?
- Offer an example of a liquid solution.
- Answer: Sugar water, tea, and salt water are examples of liquid solutions.
, 7. What are the components of a solution?
- What two main components make up a solution?
- Answer: A solution consists of a solvent and a solute.
8. What is a solvent?
- Describe the role of a solvent in a solution.
- Answer: A solvent is responsible for dissolving the solute and is typically present in greater amounts.
9. What is a solute?
- Explain the role of a solute in a solution.
- Answer: A solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent and is usually present in lesser
amounts.
10. For salt water, what is the solvent and what is the solute?
