Solubility Curve Practice

Front

What is a solubility curve?

Back

A graphical representation showing how the solubility of a substance varies with 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

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

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

Front

How does temperature affect solubility?

Back

Generally, for most solids, solubility increases with temperature, while for gases, solubility decreases.

Front

What is the solubility of KClO3 at 0 ºC?

Back

KClO3 has a low solubility at 0 ºC compared to other salts.

Front

What is the solubility of NaNO3 at 0 ºC?

Back

NaNO3 is highly soluble at 0 ºC.

Front

What does it mean if a solution is described as 'saturated'?

Back

It means that the solution has reached its maximum solute capacity at a specific temperature.

Front

What is the significance of a solubility curve?

Back

It helps predict how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at various temperatures.

Front

What happens to the solubility of sugar in water as temperature increases?

Back

The solubility of sugar increases as the temperature of the water increases.
