5 Differentiate between the following.
a. Surface water and runoff water
b. Solvent and solute
c. Soluble and insoluble substances
d. Saturated solution and unsaturated solution
Answers
Answer:
SURFACE WATER AND RUN-OFF WATER
= Run-off - Groundwater is located underground in large aquifers and must be pumped out of the ground after drilling a deep well.
= Surface water - Surface water is found in lakes, rivers and streams and is drawn into the public water supply by an intake.
SOLVENT AND SOLUTE
= solute - the substance that dissolves in a solvent to produce a homogeneous mixture.
= solvent - the substance in which a solute dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture.
SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE SUBSTANCES
= soluble substances - substances that form solutions when they are mixed with water. These substances are called soluble substances.
= insoluble substances - Substances that do NOT form solutions when they are mixed with water are called insoluble substances.
SATURATED AND INSATURATED SOLUTION
= saturated solution - A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved.
= unsaturated solution - An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved.
