What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance (solute) that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.

Front

What factors affect solubility?

Back

Factors affecting solubility include temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.

Front

How does temperature affect the solubility of solids in liquids?

Back

Generally, the solubility of most solid solutes increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

Which substance is the most soluble at 80°C: NH3, SO2, NH4Cl, or KCl?

Back

NH4Cl.

Front

What is the solubility of NH3 at 50°C?

Front

Define saturated solution.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between solute and solvent?

Back

A solute is the substance that is dissolved, while a solvent is the substance that does the dissolving.
