 What’s New

Activity 1
Answer the following questions in few complete statements. Write your
answer in your Science Journal.
• If you mix water and coffee, what will happen? Which substance will
be dissolved?
• What substance dissolves it? Which is solvent? Which is solute?

What is It

When one substance dissolves into another, a solution is formed. A solution

is a homogenous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent.
A solvent is a substance that does the dissolving or it is a substance
used to dissolve a solute. It is of a larger amount. A solute dissolves or the
substance that is being dissolved, it is of smallest amount. Water is called
the universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other.
There are solutes that can be dissolved in solvent, it is called soluble.
However, there also substances that cannot be dissolved in solvent, it
is called insoluble.
