It explains how solutions form when a solute dissolves in a solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. Water is highlighted as a common solvent, creating aqueous solutions with stable solute particles, such as sugar in water. The page notes that solute particles are typically under 1 nm in diameter, while the solvent is in greater quantity, and provides examples, including vinegar

It describes how water circulates, absorbs heat, and is cooled in the radiator. The concept of specific heat is introduced through the formula q=cp×m×ΔT, allowing for calculations of heat absorption, mass, and temperature changes. Examples illustrate how to compute specific heat and predict final temperatures during heating or cooling.
