I learned about one type of mixture which is the homogeneous mixture also known

as solution (which has one phase and uniform appearance): its nature, saturation,
solubility and concentration.
The solubility of a solute is: the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in
a certain amount of solvent or solution at a certain temperature.
Solubility may be described as the saturation point of the solution at a given
temperature.

And that there are 3 degrees of Saturation.


First, when the solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved by
a given amount of solvent it is called a saturated solution.
Second, a solution is unsaturated when it contains less solute than the maximum
amount it can dissolve at a given temperature.
Third, a supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more than the
maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given
temperature.

Another thing is the…

FACTORS THAT AFFECT SOLUBILITY:

1. Nature of the solute and solvent – The amount of solute that dissolves depends on what
type of solute it is.
2. Temperature -- Generally, an increase in the temperature of the solution increases the
solubility of a solid solute.
3. Pressure -- For solid and liquid solutes, changes in pressure have practically no effect on
solubility. For gaseous solutes, an increase in pressure increases solubility and a decrease in
pressure decreases solubility

4. Dilution -- the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually


simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution.

And lastly,

EXPRESSING CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTION

Which can be expressed in other ways such as:


(1) percent by volume, which is the amount of solute in a given volume of solution expressed
as grams solute per 100 millliter of solution (g/100 mL),

and (2) percent by mass, which is the amount of solute in a given mass of solvent expressed
as grams solute per 100 grams of solution.

That’s all and thank you for listening!
