REVERSIBLE AND
IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES
KEY WORDS
REVERSIBLE CHANGE
 A change can be changed back to how it was.
 Examples:
 A change cannot be changed back to how it was.
 Examples:
IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES
SOLUTE
A) The action of a solute mixing
with a solvent to produce a
solution.
SOLVENT
Match the definitions with the key words
DISSOLVE
SOLUTION
B) A mixture of a liquid solvent and
a solid solute. The solute dissolves
into the solvent.
C) The liquid into which the solute
dissolves to form a solution.
D) A material that dissolves in the
solvent to form a solution, e.g. salt.
SOLUBLE
 Material that can be dissolved
in a solvent.
INSOLUBLE
 Material that cannot be
dissolved in a solvent and
cannot be turned into a
solution.
LAST ONES
SOLUBILITY
 A measure of how easy it is for
a material to dissolve in a
solvent to form a solution.
