🧪 Fill in the Blank (15 questions)

1. A solution is a mixture where one substance dissolves completely in another.


2. The substance that dissolves in a solution is called the solute
3. The substance that does the dissolving in a solution is the solvent
4. A mixture in which solid particles do not dissolve and can be seen easily is called a
suspension
5. Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given
temperature.
6. A compound is made up of two or more elements chemically combined.
7. A mixture is made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
8. The smallest unit of an element is called an atom
9. A compound can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
10. When sugar is dissolved in water, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent
11. Increasing the temperature usually faster the rate of dissolving.
12. Stirring a solution helps a solute dissolve mixed
13. The composition of a compound is always fixed

🧠 Essay Questions (10 questions)

1. Explain the difference between a solution and a suspension, giving one example of
each.

A solution is the mixture of the solute and the solvent


A suspension is a mixture in which insoluble substances are suspended in a liquid
or gas

2. What are the main differences between metals and non-metals? Give three examples
for each.

Metals: shiny,strong,magnetic,conduct heat

Non metals:dull,non magnetic,poor conductor


3. Define a mixture and describe two methods used to separate mixtures.

A mixture consists of two or more different substances that are mixed,but not
chemical combined ex: milk ,sugar cane juice , vinegar

4. Explain what happens when salt dissolves in water at the particle level.

[Link] the solute mixes with the solvent , the solvent particles surround the
solute particles

b. the solute particles disperse among the solvent particles

[Link],when we look at a solution ,we cannot distinguish between the solute and
the solvent

5. How can temperature affect the solubility of a solid in a liquid?

The higher the temperature of the solvent , the faster we can expect to dissolve .

6. Describe three factors that can increase the rate of dissolving

Temperature , size of solute particles , rate of stirring

7. What is the the factors that affect the solubility?

Nature of the solvent , Nature of the solute , temperature
