Activity 1
FINDING THE SOLUTION
Objective: Define solution operationally and identify and describe the components of
a solution.
Materials: salt, water, spoon, clear glass or transparent plastic cup, common household
products
Procedures:
1. In a glass of water, put one-half teaspoon salt. Stir well until no salt is visible at the
bottom of the glass.
a. What happened to the salt after mixing?
________________________________________________________________
b. Based on what you mixed, have you formed a solution? Why?
________________________________________________________________
c. Which is the solute in this mixture? Which is the solvent?
________________________________________________________________
2. What you just did is an example of a solution. Look for other solutions in your home
and list 5 of them in the first column of the chart.
3. On the second and third column, identify the solute and solvent in each of the
solutions you listed.

3. Mix each material to the water then answer the following guide questions.
a. Add one teaspoon of cooking oil to cup 1 and stir thoroughly. Describe your
mixture.
___________________________________________________________
b. Add one teaspoon of coffee to cup 2. Stir the water. Describe what happens.

c. Do the same procedure to sand (cup 3), soy sauce (cup 4) and rubbing
alcohol (cup 5). Which are dissolved in the water? Which are not?
___________________________________________________________
d. How many phases do you observe in each cup after mixing?
___________________________________________________________
4. Now, try to separate the mixtures using your kitchen
strainer or an improvised funnel with white cloth/cheese
cloth (katsa). Pour each mixture in the cup one at a time
and observe what happens. Draw and record your
observations on the table below.

Activity 3
EFFECTive or NOT?
Objective: Investigate the effect of the nature of solute and the solvent in a solution
(Solid, Liquid and Gaseous)
Materials:
Procedures:
1. Prepare two cups of water with equal amounts. One cup must contain hot water
while the other must have cold water. Label the cups.
2. Dissolve one teaspoon of sugar for each cup. Stir. What do you observe? Is
there any difference?

Part III. Effect of nature of solvent and solute
1. Prepare two cups. Label the first cup ‘with cooking oil’ and the second cup ‘with
alcohol’.
2. Pour tap water in each cup.
3. Pour two teaspoons of cooking oil and two teaspoons of alcohol on the
respective cups. Stir and observe what happens. Did the cooking oil dissolve in
water? How about the alcohol?

In Activity 3, you have observed that there are certain variables that affect
the solubility in a solution. Solubility refers to the maximum amount of solute
that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent. In Part 1, you have seen how 6
stirring the solution has affected the rate to which the salt was dissolved as
compared to when you did not stir the solution. Without stirring, the salt particles settled
at the bottom of the cup and not all were completely dissolved. You also have witnessed
that a finer-grained solute dissolves faster than a solute with larger chunks or particles.
This has something to do with a substance’s surface area. When you try to pulverize rock
salt, you are increasing its surface area which makes it dissolve more quickly.

6. What is the maximum amount of salt that can be completely dissolved in the
water? ______________________
In the previous activity, you were able to observe the difference among the three
types of solutions which are saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions. A
saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that is
capable of being dissolved. If the solute is less than the maximum amount, then it is called
an unsaturated solution. If the solute is more than the maximum amount, it is called a
supersaturated solution.
In the next module, you will be able to learn more about concentrations which is a
more measurable way of finding the solubility of a solute in a solution.
Remember
Solution is a type of mixture in which one substance is dissolved into another. It is a
single-phase (state of matter) mixture which makes it homogeneous (has uniform
appearance). Its components are mixed thoroughly that all the parts of a solution look
the same, hence, a solution has an even composition throughout. It has two
components, the solute and the solvent.
Solute is the substance being dissolved by another substance. It is the component of
the mixture that is present in a lesser amount.
Solvent is the substance that does the dissolving and is usually present in a greater
amount.
Solubility refers to the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount
of solvent. Factors such as stirring, particle size, temperature, and nature of the solute
affect solubility.
Unsaturated solutions have less solute than the maximum amount that it can
dissolve.
Saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute that it can dissolve in a
given amount of solvent. Excess solute particles are seen at the bottom of the
container.
Supersaturated solutions contain more than the maximum amount of solute that it
can dissolve.

Critical Thinking Questions
1. Halo-halo is a popular Filipino cold dessert which
contains various ingredients such as crushed ice,
evaporated milk, ube, banana, and leche flan
among others. Once you are able to mix its
ingredients and the ice melts, will the halo-halo be
considered a solution? Why? Why not?
