A short story about solutions :)

A Solution Story

            This is a story about a pair of friends named solvent and solute. Like most friends, solvent and solute are always together. Their friendship roles are very different, though. Solvent likes to domineer over the relationship—solvent is what does the dissolving. Solute pretty much just follows solvent’s lead—solute is what is being dissolved. Whenever people at school see solute and solvent together, they call them a solution—a solution is a homogeneous mixture that has a solid dissolved in water. Now you would think that solute and solvent always get along, but there are times that their solubility is a little off. What we mean by their solubility is the measure of how well a solute dissolves in a solvent.

            When solute is really pouring his heart into his friendship with solute, their relationship becomes saturated—saturated is when a solution has dissolved as much solute as possible. When solute is not pouring his heart into his friendship with solvent, their relationship becomes unsaturated—unsaturated is when there is a solution that can still dissolve more solute. This wraps up the story about the pair of friends named solvent and solute.
