INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS
1. What is a saturated solution?
A solution in which no more solid material will
_________________________________________
dissolve; additional material settles to the
_________________________________________
bottom.
_________________________________________
2. How can you tell when a solution is saturated?
No more material will dissolve in the solution.

3. What is solubility?
Solubility is the property that substances
_______________________________________
have of dissolving in solvents, such as the
_______________________________________
solubility of salt in water.
_______________________________________
4. What is meant by the solubility of a material
in water?
_______________________________________
How much of the material dissolves in the
_______________________________________
water.

INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS
5. What is a concentrated solution?
A solution containing a large amount of
_______________________________________
material dissolved in a measured amount of
_______________________________________
liquid.
_______________________________________
6. What is a dilute solution?
_______________________________________
A solution containing a small amount of
_______________________________________
material dissolved in a large amount of liquid.
