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 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

Define supersaturated solution.

Back

A solution that contains more solute than can normally be dissolved at a given temperature.

Front

What happens to the solubility of most solids as temperature increases?

Back

The solubility of most solids increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

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

Back

The solubility of gases generally decreases as temperature increases.

Front

At what temperature do KBr and KNO3 have the same solubility?

Back

55°C.

What is the solubility of K2Cr2O7 in 100g of water at 20°C?

Back

It is a supersaturated solution when 20 grams are dissolved.

Front

What type of solution is formed when 60g of NaNO3 is dissolved in 100g of water at 40°C?

Back

It is an unsaturated solution.
