Question

For full credit, show the details of each calculation below. Use more paper if needed.

1. Define these terms:
a) solvent
b) solution
c) saturated solution
2. Consider a saturated solution formed when 17.5 g of a solute dissolve in 28.3 g of a solvent, giving a total solution volume of 27.8 mL.
A) Express the solution concentration as a mass percent.
B) Express the solubility as grams of solute per 100 g of solvent.
C) Calculate the solution density in g/mL.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) a, b) A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The solute is the substance present in a smaller amount, and the solvent is the substance present in a larger amount.

c) A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.
