How would you separate
a mixture of sand and water?
ANSWER:
Pour the mixture through
a filter. The water will go through
the filter leaving the sand behind.

11. INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS
1. What is a saturated solution? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. How can you tell when a solution is saturated? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A solution in which no more solid material will dissolve; additional material settles to the bottom.
No more material will dissolve in the solution.

12. INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS
3. What is solubility? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. What is meant by the solubility of a material
in water?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Solubility is the property that substances have of dissolving in solvents, such as the solubility of salt in water.
How much of the material dissolves in the water.

13. INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS
5. What is a concentrated solution? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6. What is a dilute solution?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A solution containing a large amount of material dissolved in a measured amount of liquid.
A solution containing a small amount of material dissolved in a large amount of liquid.
