Practice Vocabulary Flashcards from Dissolution & Filtration Activity (Science, 7-APOLINARIO MABINI)

Vocabulary flashcards covering key terms from the dissolution and filtration activity, including solute/solvent concepts, filtration, mixtures, and observation terminology.

Solute

The substance dissolved in a solvent; present in smaller amount in a solution.

Solvent

The substance in which the solute is dissolved; present in greater amount in a solution.

Solution

A homogeneous mixture formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent.

Dissolve

The process by which a solute becomes incorporated into a solvent to form a solution.

Solubility

The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Filtration

A separation method that uses a filter to separate a solid from a liquid based on particle size.

Filtrate

The liquid that passes through the filter during filtration.

Filter Paper

Porous paper used in filtration to separate solids from liquids.

Uniform (Homogeneous) Mixture

A mixture that looks the same throughout; has one phase and indistinguishable components.

Non-uniform (Heterogeneous) Mixture

A mixture with visibly different parts or phases; more than one phase present.

Phase

A distinct region of a system with uniform properties; a mixture can have one or more phases.

Path of Light

Whether light can be seen traveling through a substance; indicates transparency or opacity.

Katsa (Cheesecloth)

A porous fabric used as an improvised filter material in filtration setups.

Filtration Setup

The arrangement (funnel, filter material, and container) used to separate solids from liquids by filtration.
