Gizmo: Solubility and Temperature REDO

Front

What is a common solvent?

Back

Water is a common solvent.

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.

Front

In a solution, what is the solvent?

Back

In a solution, the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, like water.

Front

How many grams of NaNO3 are soluble in 100 g of water at 10 ºC?

Back

80 grams of NaNO3 are soluble in 100 g of water at 10 ºC.

Front

What happens when you heat a solvent?

Back

Heating a solvent usually increases its ability to dissolve more solute.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent, like sugar in water.

Front

What does it mean to dilute a solution?

Back

To dilute a solution means to add more solvent, which decreases the concentration of the solute.

Front

What is the effect of stirring a solution?

Back

Stirring a solution helps to mix the solute and solvent, allowing more solute to dissolve.

Front

What is the opposite of concentrated?

Back

The opposite of concentrated is diluted.

Front

What happens to sugar when it is crushed into a powder?

Back

Crushing sugar into a powder increases its surface area, allowing it to dissolve faster.
