Solubility Curves

Front

What is a solubility curve?

Back

A graphical representation showing the relationship between the solubility of a substance and temperature.

Front

Define saturated solution.

Back

A solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

A solution that contains less solute than can be dissolved at a given temperature.

Front

Define supersaturated solution.

Back

A solution that contains more solute than can be dissolved at a given temperature, often achieved by heating.

Front

What happens to solubility as temperature increases for most solids?

Back

Solubility generally increases with an increase in temperature.
