solubility graphs

Front

What is a solubility graph?

Back

A graphical representation showing how the solubility of a substance changes with temperature.

Front

What is the solute in a solution?

Back

The substance that is dissolved in a solvent, e.g., sugar in water.

Front

What is the solvent in a solution?

Back

The substance that dissolves the solute, e.g., water in a sugar solution.

Front

Define saturation point in a solution.

Back

The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.

Front

What happens when a solution reaches its saturation point?

Back

No more solute can dissolve; any additional solute will remain undissolved.

Front

How does temperature affect solubility?

Back

Generally, solubility increases with temperature for most solids.

Front

What is the significance of a solubility curve?

Back

It helps predict how much solute can dissolve at different temperatures.

Front

What is the least soluble salt at 0 ºC among K2Cr2O7, KNO3, KClO3, and Ce2(SO4)3?

Back

KClO3 is the least soluble at 0 ºC.

Front

How many grams of SO2 can dissolve at 50 ºC according to solubility data?

Back

5 grams.

Front

What is the relationship between solubility and pressure for gases?

Back

Increased pressure increases the solubility of gases in liquids.
