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

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

Solution:

(a) Into a vessel, add a cup of milk, which is the solvent, and supply it with heat.

(b) Add tea powder or tea leaves to the boiling milk, which acts as a solute. Continue to heat.

(c) The solute, i.e., the tea powder, remains insoluble in the milk, which can be observed while it is still boiling.

(d) At this stage, add some sugar to the boiling solution while stirring.

(e) Sugar is a solute but is soluble in the solvent.

(f) Continuous stirring causes the sugar to dissolve completely in the tea solution, reaching saturation.

(g) Once the raw smell of tea leaves vanishes and the tea solution is boiled enough, take the solution off the heat, filter or strain it to separate the tea powder and the tea solution. The insoluble tea powder remains as a residue while the solute (sugar) and the solvent (essenced milk solution) strain through the filter medium, which is collected as the filtrate.
