A. solute B. solvent C. solubility D. solvation A. 2. Solutions can be mixtures of ______. Gases B. Liquids C. Solids 3. In salt solution, which is the solute A. Salt B. Water determined D. All of the above C. Salt and water D. Cannot be

4. A solution is said to be ________ when more solute can be dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature. A. Saturated B. Unsaturated C. Supersaturated D. Solvated 5. A solute was added to a solvent and mixed well. Some of the solute settled to the bottom of the container. Which statement best explains why all of the solute did not dissolve? A. The solution was unsaturated. C. The solute was not soluble in the solvent. B. The solution was heated to increase solubility. D. The solution had become saturated. 6. When oil and water are shaken together, they might appear mixed for a time but soon separate into layers. Oil and water are not soluble in each other, so they are said to be immiscible. Which of the following factors is the reason oil and water are immiscible? A. The temperature is too low. C. No catalyst is added. B. They were shaken but not consistently stirred. D. Oil is nonpolar, and water is polar. 7. Before the health dangers of its use were known, carbon tetrachloride was used as a dry cleaning solvent because it was so effective in removing oils and grease. Water will not remove these substances from clothing. Which of the following statements is most likely true? A. Oils are nonpolar and carbon tetrachloride is polar. B. Carbon tetrachloride is under greater pressure than water. C. Carbon tetrachloride has a greater density than water. D. Both oils and carbon tetrachloride are nonpolar.

8. Which of the following will not increase the rate of solvation? A. Formation of crystals C. Increasing the temperature B. Agitating the mixture D. Increasing the surface area 9. As the pressure increases, A. the solubility of a gas in a liquid increases. a gas in a liquid decreases. B. the solubility of a solid in a liquid increases. a solid in a liquid decreases. C. the solubility of D. the solubility of

10. Which of these statements is supported by the graph shown? A. More KNO3 will dissolve than KBr at 0C. B. KBr is insoluble in water at low temperatures. C. Temperature has little effect on the water solubility of NaCl. D. An increase in temperature causes a decrease in the solubility of NaClO3 in water. 11. At 40C, 100 grams of NaClO3 is added to 100 grams of water. What will happen if an additional 10 grams of NaClO3 is added to the solution? A. All 10 grams will dissolve. B. All 10 grams will settle to the bottom of the solution. C. All 110 grams of NaClO3 will crystallize out of solution. D. 5 grams will dissolve and 5 grams will settle to the bottom of the solution. 12. How does temperature affect solubility? A. A rise in temperature always increases solubility. B. A rise in temperature always decreases solubility. C. A rise in temperature increases the solubility of solid but decreases that of gas. D. A rise in temperature decreases the solubility of solid but increases that of gas. 13. Suppose you need water that contains more oxygen than usual. You plan on bubbling air, which contains oxygen, into the water. What would you do to increase the amount of oxygen that will dissolve in the water? A. Decrease the pressure on the system. C. Make the water molecules more polar. B. Decrease the temperature of the water. D. Stir the water. 14. How does breaking up a sugar cube that sits on the bottom of the glass affect its ability to dissolve in your iced tea? A. Breaking it up increases the surface area and thus increases the solubility. B. Breaking it up increases the surface area and speeds up the dissolving process. C. Breaking it up without also stirring has no effect on the dissolving process. D. Unless you also heat the iced tea, breaking up the sugar cube has no effect on the dissolving process. 15. A spoonful of salt is stirred into a glass of ice water in a laboratory experiment. Which of the following conclusions is valid? A. Stirring results in the salt dissolving more quickly than it would otherwise.

B. Stirring causes less salt to dissolve in the ice water than would dissolve otherwise. C. Stirring causes more salt to dissolve in the ice water than would dissolve otherwise. D. Stirring does not alter the rate at which the salt dissolves or the amount of salt that can dissolve.
