  1. Mixtures - matter made of two or more substances mixed together, but not chemically combined
  2. Heterogeneous Mixture - a mixture where the components are not evenly distributed.
  3. List some examples:  ____________________________________________
  4. Homogeneous Mixtures - well mixed and the same throughout
  5. List some examples:  ____________________________________________
  6. Colloid - particles are mixed, but not dissolved
  7. List some examples:  ____________________________________________
  8. Suspension - a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles are settled out
  9. List some examples:  ____________________________________________
  10. Solution - Homogeneous mixture in which one substance is dissolved into another
  11. Solute - the substance which dissolves in another substance
  12. Solvent - substance in which a substance is dissolved
  13. Universal Solvent - water
  14. Solubility - the ability of a substance to dissolve into another substance
  15. Insoluble - the inability of a substance to dissolve into a specific solvent
  16. What affects the rate of dissolving?  Temperature
  17. Solubility - the amount of a solute that can be dissolved into a solvent
  18. Saturated Solution - a solution that has dissolved all solute it can at a specific temperature
  19. How can you increase the solubility of a saturated solution?  Increase the temperature
