Worked practice questions

The component of a solution present at significantly greater concentration is the:

  1. Solvent
  2. Solute
  3. Colloid
  4. Aerosol
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Solvent

1. A solution is named by which component dominates. 2. One component of a solution is often present at a significantly greater concentration. 3. In that case it is called the solvent. 4. The components present in lesser concentrations are called solutes. _Source: OpenStax Chemistry 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 11 'Solutions and Colloids', sections 11.1-11.5_

Components of a solution present in relatively lesser concentrations are the:

  1. Membranes
  2. Solutes
  3. Solvent
  4. Colloids
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Solutes

1. Solvent and solute are defined against each other. 2. The component at significantly greater concentration is the solvent. 3. The other components present in relatively lesser concentrations are called solutes. 4. In salt water the water is solvent and the dissolved salt is solute. _Source: OpenStax Chemistry 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 11 'Solutions and Colloids', sections 11.1-11.5_

Substances that yield ions when dissolved constitute a class of compounds called:

  1. The electrolytes
  2. Nonelectrolytes
  3. The colloids
  4. The emulsions
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. The electrolytes

1. Dissolved compounds are sorted by whether they produce ions. 2. Some substances yield ions when dissolved. 3. These substances constitute an important class of compounds called electrolytes. 4. Substances that do not yield ions when dissolved are called nonelectrolytes. _Source: OpenStax Chemistry 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 11 'Solutions and Colloids', sections 11.1-11.5_
