Interpretation:
The statements about the general properties of solutions are true or false has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Solution: It is the homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In such a mixture, solute is a substance (of lower proportion) dissolved in another substance (of larger proportion), called solvent. In aqueous solution, the solvent is water.
Homogeneous mixture:
- It is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
- There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous matter.
- Example- Air, Sugar water , Rain water
Explanation of Solution
Reason for true statements:
Option a):
In a solution, more than one substance can dissolve in a given solvent.
Hence, the statement is true.
Option b):
A solution is formed by dissolving two or more substances in a solvent. In a solution, the components are distributed uniformly through-out and hence it is homogeneous.
Hence, it is true.
Option c):
In a solution, the components are distributed uniformly throughout and thus every part is exactly the same.
Hence, it is true.
Reason for wrong statements:
Option d):
A solution is a homogenous mixture and it does not separate into parts. Therefore, the solutes present in a solution will not settle out with time if kept undisturbed.
Hence, the statement is wrong.

- A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture. Is a small sample of air a solution? Is the atmosphere a solution?arrow_forwardDescribe the changes that occur between the time excess solute is placed into water and the time the solution becomes saturated.arrow_forwardThe figures below are molecular-level representations of four aqueous solutions of the same solute. Arrange the solutions from most to least concentrated.arrow_forward
- What volume of a 0.20MK2SO4 solution contains 57 g of K2SO4?arrow_forwardWhat kinds of solute particles are present in a solution of an ionic compound? Of a molecular compound?arrow_forwardClassify the following solutions as unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated: a.A solution to which a small piece of solute is added, and it dissolves. b.A solution to which a small piece of solute is added, and much more solute comes out of solution. c.The final solution resulting from the process in part b.arrow_forward
- What mass of a 4.00% NaOH solution by mass contains 15.0 g of NaOH?arrow_forwardCalculate the molarity of the following solutions: a. A sample of solid Na2SO4 weighing 0.140g is dissolved in enough water to make 10.mL of solution. b. A 4.50-g sample of glucose (C6H12O6) is dissolved in enough water to give 150.mL of solution. c. A 43.5-g sample of K2SO4 is dissolved in a quantity of water, and the solution is stirred well. A 25.0-mL sample of the resulting solution is evaporated to dryness and leaves behind 2.18g of solid K2SO4.arrow_forwardCalculate the concentration in (v/v) of the following solutions: a.250.mL of solution contains 15.0mL of acetone. b.250.mL of solution contains 15.0mL of any soluble liquid solute. c.1.0 quart of acetic acid is put into a 5- gallon container, and enough water is added to fill the container. d.A solution of acetone and water is separated by distillation. A 300.-mL sample gives 109mL of acetone.arrow_forward
- Mixtures of gases are always true solutions. True or false? Explain why.arrow_forwardThe units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2Oarrow_forward
