1. Saturated vs. Unsaturated Solutions:
a. Imagine you have a glass of water, and you start adding sugar to it. How can you tell if
the solution is saturated or unsaturated?

b. You are trying to dissolve as much salt as possible in a cup of water. After adding a
certain amount of salt, you notice some salt crystals settling at the bottom of the cup. Is
this solution saturated or unsaturated? Why?

c. You have a container with 200 mL of water, and you want to make a saturated
solution of sugar. If you can dissolve 80 g of sugar in 100 mL of water, how much sugar
can you dissolve in the 200 mL of water to make it saturated?

2. Concentrated vs. Dilute Solutions:
a. You have a glass of orange juice and a glass of orange squash. The orange juice is
made by mixing 100 mL of orange concentrate with 900 mL of water, while the orange
squash is made by mixing 50 mL of orange concentrate with 950 mL of water. Which
one is more concentrated, and which one is more diluted? Explain your answer.

b. If you have a solution with 40 mL of solute (the substance being dissolved) and 60 mL
of solvent (the liquid it's dissolved in), is it a concentrated or a diluted solution? How do
you know?

c. You are given two beakers. Beaker A contains 100 mL of sugar dissolved in 200 mL
of water, while Beaker B contains 60 mL of sugar dissolved in 140 mL of water. Which
beaker contains the more concentrated sugar solution, and which one is more diluted?
