Solubility Curves

Front

What is a solubility curve?

Back

A graph that shows the relationship between the solubility of a substance and temperature.

Front

Define saturated solution.

Back

A solution in which no more solute 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 dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature.

Front

How does temperature affect solubility?

Back

Generally, solubility increases with temperature for solids and decreases for gases.

Front

What is the solubility of KCl at 10°C?

Back

Approximately 30 grams per 100 grams of water.

Front

What happens to the solubility of gases as temperature increases?

Back

The solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases.

Front

At what temperature is KBr and KNO3's solubility equal?

Back

55°C.

Front

What is the solubility of C12H22O11 at 40°C?

Back

240 grams per 100 grams of water.

Front

What type of solution is formed when 30 grams of KCl is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 10°C?

Back

Saturated solution.
