SECTION B
Answer ALL questions
Instruction: Write ‘T’ for True and ‘F’ for False

1. Solutions are mixtures.

2. A suspension is a type of solution.
3. Solutions can be separated by filtration.
4. Evaporation of a solution leaves behind the solute.
5. In a solution, any amount of solute can dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
6. When filtering a mixture, the pure liquid after is called the residue.
7. The ‘mass’ of any object is a measure of the amount of matter making it up.
8. Mass and weight are the same.

9. A solution with water as the solvent is called an aqueous solution.

10. Density tells us how concentrated a substance is (in terms of particles).
