Success Criteria
Solute – solid part, sugar
Solvent – liquid part, water
Solution – made up of solid and liquid part, cordial
Solutions
Concentrated: Lots of solute, more solid you add more concentrated a solution becomes
Dilute: Lots of solvent, not much solute, more liquid you add more diluted a solution becomes
Complete Scipad potassium permanganate investigation on page 33.
Concentration
Solubility relates to how much solid can be dissolved into a solution.
Soluble – means a solid can be dissolved and mix into a liquid, eg sugar
Insoluble – means a solid will not dissolve or mix into a liquid eg rocks
Complete Scipad Investigation into Solubility on page 32 Teaspoon of Baking soda/salt – 2g
Solubility
When no more solid will dissolve into a liquid the solution is said to be Saturated!
Complete practical page 35 Scipad on Saturation
Saturation
Mixture – made up of more than one chemical and can be separated physically.
