Does theVolume of the solvent and the volume of the solution remain the same if you add more solute to the solvent is this statement right or wrong?

This statement is incorrect. If you add a solute to a solvent the total volume is not equal to the volume of the solute plus the volume of the solvent. This seems counterintuitive but when adding two different compounds together these compounds may stack together better or worse than they would separately. This can be seen very readily when mixing pure ethanol and water. It also results in the fact that using normal distillation methods you cannot get ethanol more pure than 95%.
Hope that helps

What is saturated solution define simply?
The maximum amount of solute is dissolved in it-apex
Paint with a ingredient that prevents separation is called what in science?
in a one word answer it is an "emullsion", an emulsion (NOT SURE OF SPELLING!) is a mixture that contains things that cannot be disolved into a perfect solution by a single solvent but can be mixed into a liquid so that they components remain evenly spread. i hope this answers the question.
What color is the solution of red cabbage and lemon juice when first mixed?
The color remain red because vinegar is an acidic solution.
What happens to the salt in the salt solution after the water has evaporated?
In an unsaturated solution, the salt becomes more and more concentrated until the solution is completely saturated. If evaporation continues to occur, then the salt will either precipitate or the solution will become "supersaturated."
What is a science kind of suspension?
In science, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solid particles remain distributed throughout a liquid without settling to the bottom or floating to the top. This is different from a solution because the solid particles remain distinct from the liquid part of the mixture where in a solution, the solid particles are indistinct from the liquid (solutions are homogeneous).
What happens when a solution reaches the saturation point?
Saturation is the point a solution reaches where no more solute will dissolve in the solvent.
Is there a greater amount of solute than solvent present in a solution?
The solute wont get dissolved completely since the solvent (i assume) is less than that of solute. and therefore after the saturation of the solvent a significant amount of solute will remain behind. an incomplete reaction takes place with your condition of mixing.
What is a mixture of a solute and a solvent?
A mixture of a solute and a slovent will create a solution. If we combine salt and water, the salt (the solute) will dissolve in the water (the solvent) to form that solution. Note that a mixture is different from a solution in that in a mixture, the two substance remain distinct, like with sand and water.
Is the preparation of sugar solution physical change?
Yes. Both the sugar and the water (or other solvent) remain the same chemicals. Since no chemical change occurs during creation of the solution, it is a physical change.
Is water and pebbles a solution?
No, pebbles in water does not make a solution. The pebbles are solid, and remain just as they are when put into the water. A solution forms when the solute (the solid component of a solution) has been uniformly distributed within the solvent (the liquid component). This isn't happening in the situation described.
What is saturated solution?
A saturated solution is a solution in which the maximumamount of solute has been dissolved. In other words, it is the maximum concentration of a solution. Any solute added to the solvent after the solution reaches its saturation point will not dissolve and will remain as a precipitate. The saturation point is dependent upon the type of solvent, as well as any variable that influences how substances dissolve, including temperature and pressure.See the related links below for more information on the terms used in this answer.A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute

What happens to a saturated solution when some of the solvent evaporates?
yes, as solvent evaporate only solute will left behind with little solvent.thus solution will become more saturated. for example NaCl dissolve in water.after evaporation of some water the remaining solution will be saturated.
What happens to a concentrated solution when a large amount of solvent is added to it?
No, suspensions and solutions are two different things. In a solution, the particles break down into molecules, and the molecules are broken down into ions, and these mix and bond with the molecules of the solvent. In a suspension, the particles remain exactly as they are, floating in the fluid.
What does not occur when a solid solute dissolves in a liquid solvent?
attractions between the solute and solvent particles remain static.
A solvent that is holding all of the substance that is possible to hold under existing conditions?
This condition is called "saturated". The amount of material that may be dissolved in a solvent is a strong function of the temperature. For instance, you can get more sugar to dissolve in hot water than cold water.There is a condition called "super saturation" in which the material has been dissolved at a higher temperature, then the solvent cooled. If there is no disturbance of the solution or discontinuities in the solvent the solution the material will remain dissolved. However, if there is a disturbance, or a place where the material can form the excess dissolved material will come out of solution very quickly. An example of this is to dissolve sugar in water at an elevated temperature, then gently cool the solution. If a tooth pick is stuck in the solution the excess sugar will coat the tooth pick.
