Identifying Main Ideas
As you read the section “What is a Solution?”, write the main idea in a graphic. Then write three supporting details.
Main Idea
A solution is a well mixed mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute.

The solvent is the substance present in the largest amount.
A solute is a substance present in a smaller amount than the solvent.
A solution has the same properties throughout.
A solution contains particles that are too small to see.

3. What Is a Solution? - Understanding Solutions
A solution has the same properties throughout. It contains solute particles (molecules or ions) that are too small to see.

4. What Is a Solution? - Understanding Solutions
Solutions can be made from any combinations of solids, liquids, and gases.

5. Colloids and Suspensions
- Understanding Solutions
Colloids and Suspensions
Colloids and suspensions are mixtures that have properties different from those of solutions.

6. Particles in a Solution
- Understanding Solutions
Particles in a Solution
When a solution forms, particles of the solute leave each other and become surrounded by particles of the solvent.

8. Effects of Solutes on Solvents
- Understanding Solutions
Effects of Solutes on Solvents
At 0ºC, pure water freezes, but water mixed with a solute does not. Solutes lower the freezing point of a solvent.

11. Calculating a Concentration
- Concentration and Solubility
Calculating a Concentration
To calculate the concentration of a solution, compare the amount of solute to the amount of solution and multiply by 100 percent.
For example, if a solution contains 10 grams of solute dissolved in 100 grams of solution, then its concentration can be reported as 10 percent.

Practice Problem
A solution contains 12 grams of solute dissolved in 36 grams of solution. What is the concentration of the solution?
33%

13. Solubility - Concentration and Solubility
Solubility is a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.

14. Temperature and Solubility
- Concentration and Solubility
Temperature and Solubility
The solubility of the compound potassium nitrate (KNO3) varies in water at different temperatures.

15. Temperature and Solubility

Reading Graphs:
At which temperature shown in the graph is KNO3 least soluble in water?
KNO3 is least soluble at 0ºC.

16. Temperature and Solubility
- Concentration and Solubility
Temperature and Solubility
Reading Graphs:
Approximately what mass of KNO3 is needed to saturate a water solution at 40ºC?
Approximately 65 g of KNO3 are needed to saturate a water solution at 40ºC.

17. Temperature and Solubility
- Concentration and Solubility
Temperature and Solubility
Calculating:
About how much more soluble is KNO3 at 40ºC than at 20ºC?
KNO3 is about twice as soluble at 40ºC as it is at 20ºC.

18. Temperature and Solubility
- Concentration and Solubility
Temperature and Solubility
Interpreting Data:
Does solubility increase at the same rate with every 20ºC increase in temperature? Explain.
No; the curve shows that solubility increases more with each 20ºC increase in temperature.

Before you read, preview the red headings. In a graphic organizer like the one below, ask a what question for each heading. As you read, write answers to your questions.
Question
Answer
What is an acid?
An acid is a substance that tastes sour, reacts with metals and carbonates, and turns blue litmus paper red.
What is a base?
A base is a substance that tastes bitter, feels slippery, and turns red litmus paper blue.

30. Strength of Acids and Bases
- Acids and Bases in Solution
Strength of Acids and Bases
Strong acids and weak acids act differently in water. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid. Acetic acid is a weak acid.

31. The pH Scale - Acids and Bases in Solution
A low pH tells you that the concentration of hydrogen ions is high. In contrast, a high pH tells you that the concentration of hydrogen ions is low.
