solute + solvent = ?
Solids dissolve in water to make a solution. These solids are soluble.
Solids that don't dissolve are insoluble.
The total mass of a solution equals the mass of solvent added to the mass of the solute.
If you keep adding solutes to a solvent, eventually the solvent will not dissolve.
This is called a saturated solution.
Filtration- used to separate solid particles which do not dissolve in the liquid they are in
Evaporation- used to separate dissolved substances from a solution e.g. salt water
Destillation (evaporation followed by condensation)- used to separate the liquid from the dissolved solid in a solution or one liquid from a mixture of liquids e.g. ink and water
Chromatography- used to separate individual colours from a mixture of colours e.g. ink
