Air is a(n) ________________ of oxygen gas dissolved in nitrogen gas. The oxygen in air is the
________________, and the nitrogen is the ________________. Because oxygen gas dissolves in a
solvent, oxygen gas is a(n) ________________ substance. A substance that does not dissolve is
________________. ________________ solutions are the most common type of solutions. If one
liquid is soluble in another liquid, such as acetic acid in water, the two liquids are
________________. However, if one liquid is insoluble in another, the liquids are _______________.

8. Is the following sentence true or false? Justify your answer. Finely ground particles dissolve
more rapidly than larger particles because finer particles expose a greater surface area to the
colliding solvent molecules.
Answer: ____ Justification: ________________________________________________________
