I. MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the best answer of your choice. Write the letters only.

1. Solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions
a. Saturated b.unsaturated c.supersaturated
2. Why does increasing the temperature of the solvent speed up the dissolving process?
a.it brings fresh solvent into contact with more solute
b. it brings more solute to the solvent
c. more solvent molecules collide with the solute
d. it is hot so it dissolves faster
