He defines the terms solute, solvent and solution. By dissolving sugar into cups of tea, Jon demonstrates that solutions can become saturated. When one of the cups is then cooled down, some of the ...

When no more solute can be dissolved in a solvent the solution is said to be saturated. Each different substance has a different solubility. This table shows the solubility of substances in water ...

Dissolving a solid in a liquid depends on the interaction between the particles of the liquid (solvent) with the particles of the solid (solute). Dissolving happens when the attraction between the ...

It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...
