Question

Write the steps you would use for making tea. Use the words: Solution, solvent, solute, dissolve, soluble, insoluble, filtration and residue.

Answer 1

Steps involved in tea making:

(i) Take 100ml of water in a vessel that acts as a solvent and boil it for few minutes.
(ii) Now add one teaspoon sugar, one teaspoon tea leaves and 50ml of milk. Here sugar, tea leaves and milk are solutes.
(iii) Now boil it again for a few minutes so that sugar will dissolve in the solution as sugar is soluble in water.
(iv) Now filter the solution and collect the filtrate in a cup. The insoluble tea leaves will be left behind as residue.
