Question

(a) Explain the terms, (i) Solution, (ii) Solute, (iii) Solvent.

(b) Give three factors which affect the solubility of a solid solute in a solvent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1)In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.

2) solute: the substance that dissolves in a solvent to produce a homogeneous mixture.

3) A solvent is a medium in which a solute dissolves. It is in large quantity in solution. Solution = Solute + Solvent.

b) The size of solute particles, stirring, and temperature, are the three factors that affect the solubility of a solid solute in a solvent.

Explanation:

Hope it will help you.

Answer 2

(a) Solution: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, the components of which cannot be seen separately.

Solute: A solute is the substance which dissolves in a solvent to form a solution.

Solvent: A solvent is the medium in which a solute dissolves.

(b) Three factors on which the solubility of a solid depend are;

• Temperature

• Nature of the solid

• Nature of the solvent
