2. Solute: Salt; Solvent: Water
3. The concentration of salt will increase.
4. An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
5. As more salt is added, the conductivity of the solution increases until the solution becomes saturated.
6. Initially, the salt dissolves. If more salt is added beyond its solubility limit, it will not dissolve and will settle at the bottom.
7. Increasing temperature, stirring the solution, and increasing the surface area of the solute (e.g., by grinding it).
8. Finely ground sugar would dissolve faster.
- Explain why: Finely ground sugar has a larger surface area exposed to the solvent, allowing for quicker interaction and dissolution.
9. Left bowl: Solute; Middle bottle: Solvent; Right bottle: Solution
10. Unsaturated
11. Saturated
12. Supersaturated
13. Conductivity
14. Hydrophobic
15. Hydrophilic
16. Hydrophobic: Does not dissolve in water; Hydrophilic: Dissolves in water
17. Solute: The substance that is dissolved; Solvent: The substance that does the dissolving; Solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
