Solubility Curves

Front

What is a solubility curve?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

Back

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

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

Which salt is least soluble at 0 ºC?

Back

KClO3.

Back

60 ºC.

Front

How many grams of K2Cr2O7 are soluble in 100 g of water at 95 ºC?

Back

75 grams.

Front

Which solute is the most soluble at 10 ºC?

Back

Front

What factors affect solubility?

Back

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

Front

What is the solubility of KNO3 at 80 ºC?

Back

20 grams can dissolve in 100 grams of water.
