Solubility Curve Practice

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 does it mean if a solution is unsaturated?

Back

A solution with less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

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

Front

How can you identify a saturated solution on a solubility curve?

Back

A point that falls exactly on the solubility curve line.

Front

What happens to solubility as temperature increases for most solids?

Back

Solubility generally increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

What is the solubility of KNO3 at 37°C?

Back

Approximately 60 g per 100 g of water.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the solubility of gases?

Back

The solubility of gases typically decreases as temperature increases.

Front

What is the significance of a solubility curve?

Back

It visually represents the relationship between solubility and temperature for a given solute.

Front

What does it mean if a plotted point is above the solubility curve?

Back

The solution is supersaturated.

Front

What is the solubility of NaNO3 at 10°C?

Back

80 g per 100 g of water.
