    Making solutions

    Solutions are mixtures that are very common in our daily lives. A solution is composed of a solute and a solvent.


    A student conducted an investigation using 50 milliliter of distilled water and 5 grams of table salt. The water for each test was brought to a certain temperature before the salt was added. The data from the investigation are shown in the graph.


    Which conclusion best describes the data in the graph?

    Increasing the amount of solvent increases the temperature of a solution

    Increasing the temperature of the solute increases the amount of the solution

    the amount of solute in a solution determines the time needed for the solute to dissolve in the solvent

    A decrease in the temperature of a solvent increases the time needed for a solute to dissolve in a solvent
