Solving Problems with Solutes and Solvents Solutions Solving Problems with Solutes and Solvents
Solution A liquid with a solute dissolved in it Can have color, but usually transparent Molecules dissolved are so small light waves do not bounce off of them lemonade tea salt water
Solute Molecules that are dissolved in a solvent to make a solution. Sugar Salt CO2
Solvent The liquid in which the solute is dissolved. Water Gasoline Acetone (nail polish remover) Turpentine (paint thinner)
Concentrated A lot of solute in the solvent
examples… Strong tea Strong lemonade Orange Juice Concentrate
Dilute Little solute in a lot of solvent
examples… weak tea weak lemonade Orange Juice from Concentrate
Soluble vs. Insoluble Soluble - able to dissolve Insoluble - not able to dissolve
Determining % Concentration 90 red (kool aid) 10 white (water) = 90% kool aid solution Solute 90 (red) Solution 100 (total) = 90 %
Determining % Concentration 50 red (kool aid) 50 white (water) = 50% kool aid solution Solute 50 (red) Solution 100 (total) = 50 %
Determining % Concentration 20 red (kool aid) 80 white (water) = 20% kool aid solution Solute 20 (red) Solution 100 (total) = 20 %
diffusion Both diffusion and osmosis happen because of differences in % concentration. osmosis
