Solution

• Clear solution: A mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent, allowing light to pass through.
• Solvent: A liquid that dissolves a substance.
• Concentrated solution: A solution with a greater amount of solute in the solvent.
• Saturated solution: A solution with an excess amount of solute in the solvent, unable to dissolve any more solute.
• Solute: A substance that can dissolve in a liquid.
• Dilute solution: A solution with a lesser amount of solute in the solvent.
• Colloid: A mixture of two or more solutes dispersed evenly in a solvent, intermediate between a solution and a suspension.
• Solution: The mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent.
• Suspension: A cloudy mixture formed from undissolved solute particles in a solvent.
• Colloid colour is clear
• Sediment is not observed when a colloid is left for a while.
• Acetone is one of the organic solvents, it is a good solvent for most plastics and some synthetic fibee. For example, it is used in nail polish remover.
• Alcohol is a solvent that can be used to remove grease.
• Turpentine is commonly used to remove paint from wood or other surfaces.
• A suspension appears cloudy as the solute particles do not

  dissolve in the solvent, such as chalk powder that is insoluble in water.

  The size of the particles in a suspension is large enough to prevent light from passing through the suspension. Suspensions will settle if left undisturbed and leave residue when filtered.
• Homogeneous mixtures are evenly distributed throughout, such as chocolate milk, lemonade, and saltwater.
• Heterogeneous mixtures are not evenly distributed, such as trail mix, salad, and granite.
