Front

What is solubility?

Back

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

Front

How does a solution become supersaturated?

Back

Dissolve more solute than you should be able to.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

A solution that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature.

Front

What factors affect solubility?

Back

Temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.

Front

What is the solubility curve?

Back

A graph that shows the relationship between solubility and temperature for a specific solute.
