Solutions and Dissolving

  • When a solute dissolves in a solvent, a solution forms.
  • Sugar and salt are soluble in water; sand is insoluble in water.
  • Dissolving happens because solute particles mix evenly with solvent particles.
  • Stirring and heating the solvent make a solute dissolve faster.

Separating a Soluble Solid from a Solution (Evaporation)

  • To obtain a dissolved solid (e.g., copper sulphate), evaporate the solvent.
  • Pour the solution into an evaporating basin and heat gently.
  • As the solvent evaporates, crystals of the solute form.
  • Remove from heat when enough solvent has evaporated, then leave to crystallise.

Separating an Insoluble Solid from a Liquid (Filtration)

  • Use filtration to separate an insoluble solid (e.g., sand) from a liquid.
  • Pour the mixture through filter paper in a funnel.
  • Liquid particles (small) pass through the paper; solid particles (larger) are trapped.
  • The liquid that passes through is called the filtrate; the trapped solid is the residue.

Particle arrangement in solids, liquids, and gases. Dissolving involves particles mixing, not changing state.
