Solutions

Homogeneous Solutions(L, S,or G) When mixed = Uniform Distribution of particles (Makes is seem as if it is one single substance) Example: Sugar and Water Solutions(L, S,or G) Solutions are a type of homogeneous mixture groups of molecules that are mixed up in a completely even distribution.

Parts of a Solution 1.Solute 2. Solvent Concentration: The substance to be dissolved. 2. Solvent The one doing the dissolving. Concentration: The ratio of solute to solvent The more solute the more concentrated solution. The more solvent the less concentrated the solution.

Solutions Salt is the solute Water is solvent Low Concentration High Concentration

3 Ways to increase the rate of dissolving a solid. Stirring or shaking--moves the particles around the solvent faster Heating—causes the particles to move more rapidly Crushing—increase the surface area exposed to the solvent
