The question contain terms which require stating their meaning. In this case, for each question, their meaning should be stated.
In solvent extraction, different solubilities of two liquids makes them unable to mix to form a homogenous solution. Different solubilities, for example, makes two liquids form two layers and makes it possible to employ solvent extraction technique.
A salt is said to be hydrated when it contains water molecules between its particles or crystals.
Adding a solute to a solvent forms a solution in the cas of a polar solute and polar solvent. Maintaining the same temperature, there reaches a certain point upon which the solvent cannot take in more of the solute. At this point, the solvent issaid to be saturated.
a) Solvent extraction- is a technique used to separate the components of a mixture based on their solubility in different solvents.
b) Hydrated salt - salt that contains water of crystallization.
c) Saturated solution - solution which no more solute can dissolve into it.
