hello friends today we'll learn about solute solvent and solution [Music] very nice you're studying here oh you have an assignment on this topic let's make it easier for you we'll learn about the solution first a solution is a specific type of mixture where one substance is dissolved into another a solution is the same or uniform throughout which makes it a homogeneous mixture it has some characteristics a solution is uniform or homogeneous it doesn't change over time or settle it does not scatter a beam of light the particles are so small they cannot be separated by filtering common examples of solutions are the sugar in water and salt and soda water water solutions etc let's prepare a solution mix this salt and water yeah this salt water is a solution you cannot see the salt and the salt and water will stay a solution if let alone hmm there are two parts of a solution solute it is the substance which is being dissolved by another substance in this salt water solution the salt is the solute solvent it is the substance that dissolves the other substance you're correct here water is the solvent now you know that a solution is made when one substance known as the solute dissolves into another substance known as the solvent dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into much smaller groups or individual molecules in the salt water solution the water molecules break salt molecules from the bigger crystal lattice oh you want to know about solubility it is a measurement of how much solute can be dissolved into a liter of solvent for example if you keep pouring salt into water at some point the water isn't going to be able to dissolve the salt when a solution reaches the point where it cannot dissolve any more solute it is considered saturated let's see what is concentration the concentration of a solution is the proportion of the solute to solvent if there is a lot of solute in a solution then it is concentrated if there is a low amount of solute then the solution is said to be diluted see this is water and this is ethanol you can take any amount of ethanol and mix it with any amount of water and you'll always end up with a clear colorless liquid just like the ones you started with when two liquids can be mixed to form a solution they're known as miscible can you mix oil and water together oil and water are two liquids that are immiscible they will not mix together if two liquids cannot be mixed to form a solution they're known as immiscible now you know a lot about solute solvent and solution stay tuned for more videos bye bye
