Saturation is my favorite topic in chemistry. It is the only
part of chemistry I understand. I like this subject because it's common sense.
Did you know a substance can be completely saturated and not have clumps in the
bottom or even be able to see anything in the container at all? A solute is a
substance that is getting mixed and has the least amount. Solvents are the
substances that are getting mixed into and have larger volumes. Saturation is
the amount of substance a solution can hold without forming clumps.
One of the
most classic examples of solubility is hot chocolate. The milk or water is the
solvent because it has the most volume and is being mixed in itself. The mix is
the solute because it is getting mixed into the solvent and has the least volume.
These are important to us to understand because we use them in our daily lives.
