Question

matching. match the term on the left with the statement that best describes it on the right.
the part of the solution that gets dissolved, usually a solid the part of the solution that does the dissolving, usually a liquid a solute plus a solvent, a mixture the limit of how much solute can be dissolved

1. saturation
2. solute
3. solution
4. solvent

Explanation:

• 20. saturation: Saturation refers to the limit of how much solute can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure. So it matches "the limit of how much solute can be dissolved".
• 21. solute: A solute is the substance that gets dissolved in a solution, often a solid. So it matches "the part of the solution that gets dissolved, usually a solid".
• 22. solution: A solution is a mixture composed of a solute (the dissolved substance) and a solvent (the dissolving medium). So it matches "a solute plus a solvent, a mixture".
• 23. solvent: A solvent is the part of the solution that does the dissolving, and it is usually a liquid (like water in many cases). So it matches "the part of the solution that does the dissolving, usually a liquid".

Answer:

1. saturation - the limit of how much solute can be dissolved
2. solute - the part of the solution that gets dissolved, usually a solid
3. solution - a solute plus a solvent, a mixture
4. solvent - the part of the solution that does the dissolving, usually a liquid
