Substance formed when a solute dissolves into a solvent.

A substance that has dissolved into a solvent.

The amount of a solute dissolved in a certain volume of solvent.

A low concentration of a solute in a solution.

6.02 × 10²³ of something. The mass of a mole of a substance is its relative mass expressed in grams.

How many cm³ are there in 3 dm³ of solution?

It is the mass of solute dissolved in 1 dm³ of water, in g/dm³.

It is the mass of solute dissolved in 1 dm³ of water, in dm³/g.

It is the mass of solvent dissolved in 1 dm³ of water, in g/dm³.

It is the mass of solvent dissolved in 1 dm³ of water, in dm³/g.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the concentration of an aqueous solution?

What is the mass of one mole of sodium chloride (NaCl)? Sodium has a relative atomic mass of 23; chlorine has a relative atomic mass of 35.5.

What is the mass of solute in a 1 dm³ solution with a concentration of 15 g/dm³?

The NaCl solution contains more solute particles than the KCl solution.

The KCl solution contains more solute particles than the NaCl solution.

Both solutions contain an equal number of solute particles.

The number of solute particles depends on type of solute, not the concentration.

Two 500 cm³ solutions of NaCl and KCl both have a concentration of 1 mol/dm³. Which of the following statements is true?

If the concentration of a solution is 2 mol/dm³, how many moles of solute are there in 500 cm³ of solution?

a substance formed when a solute dissolves into a solvent

a substance that has dissolved into a solvent

a substance into which a solute dissolves
