What is the key difference between a mixture and a solution, as explained in the video?

In a solution, the particles are evenly distributed, while in a mixture, they are not.

Define 'solute' and 'solvent' using an example from the video.

In sweet tea, sugar is the solute because it dissolves, and water is the solvent because it is what the sugar dissolves into.

When a solution is saturated, no more solute can dissolve into the solvent, and any extra solute will remain undissolved.

I can determine if mixing substances creates new substances.

1
A mixture is created when you combine two or more different things together.
2
A solution is a mixture where the particles are spread around evenly, and it has two main parts: the solute and the solvent.
3
Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve, and saturation is the point when no more solute can dissolve in a solution.
