Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility refers to the mass of solute that can dissolve in a certain volume or mass of solvent, at a certain temperature.

Front

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution is one where more solute can still be dissolved at the given temperature.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one that has dissolved the maximum amount of 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

What factors affect solubility?

Back

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 solids increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

How does temperature affect the solubility of gases in liquids?

Back

The solubility of gases generally decreases with an increase in temperature.
