1
2
)mixture- a combination of two or more materials
3
)solution – a special mixture formed when a material dissolves in water and
cannot be separated by using a screen or filter (liquid, translucent)
4
)dissolve – the process of when one material vanishes into another material
and becomes a new mixture
5
)crystal-is the solid form of a material that can be identified by its
properties, i. e., shape, color, texture, or pattern
6
)evaporation-the process of when liquids disappear into the air – the liquid
turns to gas and disperses into the air, leaving any dissolved solid material
behind.
7
)citric acid-(C6H8O7)is an organic (natural) food source that comes from
fruit. It is added to many different food products, especially soda and
candy for its sour properties.
)property - this is a characteristic of an object: something that you can
observe with at least one of your 5 senses, i. e., size, color, texture, shape,
etc.
8 )solute-the solid part of a solution
9 )solvent-the liquid part of a solution
10 )saturated solution- a saturated solution results when a solute dissolves in a
solvent until no more solute will dissolve into the solvent anymore.
11 )solubility- It is the measure of the ability of a solute to dissolve into a
solvent.
12 )changes – The process of becoming something different.
13 )chemical reaction –I know that a chemical reaction has happened when gas
is released (bubbles), when there is a temperature change (warm or cool),
or when a precipitate (new solute or substance) is formed. *Bonus item: a
color change may also indicate a chemical reaction.
14 )precipitate – When a mixture or a solution creates a new solid material
from the original components.
15 )reactant – When two chemicals react when they are mixed, the chemicals
are called reactants.
16 )gas – one of the three states of being: solid and liquid are the other two
17 )heat – It is a main releaser of gases; it can cause chemical reactions; it is
the opposite of cold.
18 )temperature –The coolness or warmth of whatever is being measured in
Celsius or Centigrade.
19 )concentration – is the amount of material dissolved in a measure of liquid.
20 )To dilute – is to make a solution less concentrated, usually by adding more
liquid.
21 )volume – is the three-dimensional space occupied by something. In this
investigation it is the amount of liquid.
22 )concentrated solution – A solution that has a certain amount of solute and
a certain amount of solvent.
23 )soluble – the ability of a solute to dissolve into a solvent; the more solute
that can get into a solvent then the higher the solubility
24 )reactant – When two chemicals react when they are mixed, the chemicals
are called reactants.
25 )gas – one of the three states of being: solid and liquid are the other two
26 )heat – It is a main releaser of gases; it can cause chemical reactions; it is
the opposite of cold.
27 )temperature –The coolness or warmth of whatever is being measured in
Celsius or Centigrade.
28 )sodium chloride – Table Salt (NaCl)
29 )calcium chloride – Rock Salt (CaCl2)
30 )baking soda – a basic leavening agent & as an antacid – sodium bicarbonate
(NaHCO3)
